If you're the sort of person who likes to enjoy their podcasts on YouTube, here's a little treat: this week's episode of NonCensored!
(If you go to the version on Patreon there's a fourth segment, but you have to pay for that.)
Why did Reform fail to win the Gorton & Denton by-election? Suella Braverman has a theory, in this interview that was recorded before the result (and also, therefore, before Matt Goodwin and Nigel Farage reacted to the defeat).

I’ve done a few blogs about making John Finnemore’s Souvenir Programme on my Tumblr? Eg. www.tumblr.com/edmorrish/17...
And @gralefrit.bsky.social’s book and blog are not exclusively about audio comedy, obviously, but some is and a lot of what he writes about is cross-disciplinary: joelmorris.substack.com/podcast
There’s also a six-part history of radio comedy that I produced with Alex Hollands in 2015, covering 1975-2005 in six episodes, each spanning five years: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b...
What sort of thing are you after? For example, @eddierobson.bsky.social wrote blogs for the BBC Writer’s Room, including this one that goes through all eight drafts of an episode of a sitcom we made: www.bbc.co.uk/writers/blog...
This sounds like a good idea to me
Ok.
Also, this car probably won’t crash so there’s no point putting airbags in.
That’s fair. One of our shows is three months of basic Audible subscription. But Audible operate at a massive scale and take ownership of everything they commission (including the series we made for them). This is an attempt to make stuff that primarily benefits the writers and creators of the work.
I don’t think any creatives support its abolition. But I know that Nigel Farage does.
Less of a station, more of a slot (eg Monday, 6.30pm).
It’s probably wise to find out if this works before the BBC gets defunded/abolished.
And here’s a link to the show on BBC Sounds: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
The more clicks we get the more likely a series is…
Incredible programme and presenter. The pathetic barefaced lies people have swallowed about ‘soft touch’ Britain are totally removed from the grim reality of the extortionate hoops which must first be cleared.
I'll absolutely give this a listen, because believe you fucking me it was a pain in the hole moving to America to marry one of their fine women, but a pal in Scotland did it the other way round and fuck me it's lucky he's rich.
This was a very good listen. I'm sure it will be on BBC Sounds as well.
I think the term is “freemium”. It’s an experiment to see what kind of ad revenue we can get; could it be enough that we don’t need to pre-sell series, and can just commission them? Possibly not, but let’s find out *before* the BBC gets abolished and this stuff stops getting made entirely, shall we?
If you buy a series, you’ll have it in full, in high-quality audio and without ads, as soon as it’s ready.
If eight series each, individually, reach their funding target they will be released in lower-quality audio, with ads (including ads for the high-quality versions), over the course of a year.
This is what we’re doing.
Because it’s kind of impossible to make scripted podcasts any other way. Believe me.
This could be the future…

If you’re anywhere near a radio or computer in about an hour, you can hear the brilliant Sikisa explain how the British immigration system works when a Brit wants to marry someone from outside the UK. Because the think about Sikisa is, she’s not only a comedian but she’s also an immigration lawyer.
100% human generated art - Alice Fraser has a really interesting take on the hero's journey in here that I can't wait to listen to, so have pledged. For writers to write and actors to act!
I want to back this but can we also acknowledge... and correct me if I'm wrong... that an 'always on-podcast with multiple shows' is a radio station.
Well, one episode a week is hardly a “station”, but yes - basically that feed would be the equivalent to the Monday night 6.30 slot on Radio 4.
This looks like a funding model that could actually work.
Backed this, because new audio comedy is always a treat and the pedigree of these creators is 👌
Go on. Have a look. Help us make something amazing.

The whole marketplace is full of people with incredible track records in scripted audio comedy - including the man behind Old Harry’s Game and Revolting People and (with Nick Revell) The Billion Pound Radio Show AND on TV (with Guy Jenkin) Drop The Dead Donkey and Outnumbered: Andy Hamilton!
For example, @aglasgowgirl.bsky.social wants to write a romcom about a couple who meet in airport security. We would like to produce it. But we need money for actors and studios and editors and music and directors, so we need a LOT more people to buy it before we can make it
