  • Terrible

    The Brand trial coverage is genuinely terrible with the bare minimum of information is condensed into a few sentences.. I have just now learnt more from briefly looking over the day’s livestream information on the Daily Mail website than I did from the podcast episode. It made me realise just how much information was actually given in court and just how little you’re actually telling us here. Maybe this is done on purpose to drive us to the website’s coverage? Honestly, if you care about thi... more

  • Not for me

    Very disappointed that the team chose to follow this trial. Have enjoyed every other series, but find the idea of giving any publicity to this person absolutely unacceptable. I honestly can’t understand why anybody would want to listen to the lurid details of each case. Neither interesting or informative

  • Ditched it before it started…

    Can’t seem to forward thru ads, is that because there’s video? Don’t know and just not interested enough to put up with that many ads for a jury selection. Thanks anyway. Hope he gets what he deserved but I’ll check in somewhere else

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Trial: Russell Brand - The Allegations
Q: How will jury selection work in this UK Crown Court case, and what logistical or procedural issues should listeners expect before the trial begins?
Jurors are summoned, screened for availability over an estimated six to eight weeks, and questioned about potential biases or background knowledge to ensure they can serve fairly; administrative steps and possible non-sitting days are normal before the case opens.
The Trial: Russell Brand - The Allegations
Q: What exactly are the charges Russell Brand faces, and how far back do they date?
The charges include three counts of rape, three counts of sexual assault, and one count of indecent assault, with allegations spanning from 1999 to 2009 involving six women, which will be addressed in detail as the trial opens.
Kenneth Law: Poison In The Post
Q: What first drew you into investigating Kenneth Law's activities?
David Parfett explains that his son Tom's death prompted him to investigate the online ecosystem that facilitated those suicides, leading to the discovery of a broader, global network and the realization that regulation lagged behind technology.
Rape Courts: Will They Make A Difference?
Q: Do you think these reforms will be enough, or are they just a sticking plaster?
She argues that reforms must be part of a broader, sustained program covering police, courts, and witness care, with proper funding and training to attract and retain qualified staff; she warns against relying on temporary measures and highlights that true reform requires listening to practitioners and embedding changes across the entire system.
Rape Courts: Will They Make A Difference?
Q: What is your general reaction to these new measures the government has announced?
Mary Prior KC stresses that while some proposals are welcomed as practical steps forward, many had been anticipated by practitioners for years and there are concerns about whether fixed dates and dedicated courts can be implemented consistently given systemic shortages; she emphasizes the need for long-term investment and collaboration with those on the ground.
