- Funny and clever.
Wry humour and in many ways very informative too, as Armando and a guest (or 2) look at the trends and often, absurdities within political language. Episodes with Stewart Lee are particularly good.
We’re very lucky to have such insight from one of the great satirists/comedy writers of the age provided free to our devices with minimal ads!

Great to hear you moving beyond the totally predictable views of your echo chamber crowd by having Michael Gove on.

Apple Podcasts5the snow beastUnited Kingdom2 months ago - BBC at it it’s best
Each week I return to R4 ( where I used to spend much of my day in former times)
for this podcast. Armando and his guests deliver glorious insights and spontaneous reflections on political language in the week’s news. Stewart Lee is a regular guest
with his sharp anarchic wit.
I’ve listened to many earlier episodes and haven’t heard a dud one yet.
