  • Enjoyable and good for the soul

    Integrity, trust and ethics. With a nod and a wink, surely it’s better to work for Private Eye than be a Murdoch or Mail hack whose motivation is sales at any cost?

  • Deeply enjoyable

    The insight, the clever journalism, the jokes and wit, it all is just so amazing. I think this might be the only podcast I’ve ever come across where their manner of talking is so easy, conversational, and comfortable. Like they’re just friends having a chat. I love the vibes

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

193: The Jeffrey Archer Tribute Show
Q: Do you have a regret in the gag pages?
Hislop says he does not have a specific regret about the gag pages, but acknowledges that he should have stopped running MMR-related stories sooner. He says he was wrong and did not recognize that Andrew Wakefield was dishonest.
193: The Jeffrey Archer Tribute Show
Q: What do you think would have happened if you had put the magazine online in the late 1990s or early 2000s?
Ian Hislop thinks the magazine might have folded because online publishing was expected to be free and there was no workable payment model at the time. He also valued print as a more pleasurable format for reading cartoons and moving between articles.
178: PAUL FOOT 2026: HARD LABOUR
Q: And what is the story that's brought you to the Paul Foot Awards?
The guest explains the Labour Together campaign group's funding, its relationship with MPs, the focus on undeclared donations, and how APCO was hired to uncover sources and shift the narrative, setting up the broader investigative arc of the piece.
176: PAUL FOOT 2026: A PROVEN LAWYER
Q: How did you validate the letters and the claims against Milne?
We collected multiple letters, consulted property solicitors, and sought comment from Milne, while cross-checking with homeowners' experiences and corroborating evidence before publication.
176: PAUL FOOT 2026: A PROVEN LAWYER
Q: What makes this story stand out as a Paul Foot Award contender?
It combines in-depth local reporting with national implications, uncovering abusive practices by a solicitor, the financial and emotional toll on homeowners, and the systemic regulatory angles that drew attention from MPs and regulators.
