In episode five, political commentators & broadcasters (& can they call themselves podcasters now too?!) Marina Purkiss and Jemma Forte sigh and laugh and sigh some more. Our chuckling duo also find some solace in the shape of a few visceral and fact-filled voices.

As Jemma points out, Britain’s basically stopped working and needs switching off and on again. People on Twitter have got plenty of ideas on how to fix things but sadly aren’t in government... Meanwhile, due to climate change it’s been insanely hot in the UK, yet we’re all focused on not freezing in the winter.

Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson is on holiday once again and so is Marina, but at least she’s fully across her brief and has dialled in whilst being “en France”. Purkiss for PM, anyone…?

This episode features clips from LBC, Piers Morgan Uncensored, Daviemoo, Larry and Paul, and Jeremy Vine, plus some Mike Graham “gold”, an underrated tweet of the week from Professor Brian Cox, and there’s two brilliant tweets from pod-fave @pandamoanium.
