Seann and Mark are back with an intellectual analysis of the latest Brexit negotiations. They can’t quite make it over the first hurdle, as neither of them know what DUP stands for…

Seann’s mum is back with the latest update on her neighbour’s affair, but Seann’s dad isn’t on the show this week because he popped down the bookies. Classic.

A very very hungover Carl Donnelly provides us with the most useless weather report to date. He will not be invited back.

Episode 12 - Carl Donnelly

Stand up sensation and TV personality Seann Walsh presents News-ish – an ill-informed round up of the week’s events that makes ‘fake news’ look like the BBC World Service. The in-depth analysis of world events is made all the more surreal by Seann’s co-host, comedian Mark Simmons who brings his own brand of ignorance with features like “I didn’t know that” – a series of common knowledge facts that Mark genuinely finds astonishing.

This is a show that aims high and scores hilariously low – think ‘Newsnight meets An idiot Abroad’. With regulars like Celebrity Weather (a gratuitous calling up of Seann’s showbiz mates to ask them what the weather is like where they are) and ‘Village Life’ – a roundup of parochial tedium in Seann’s Mum’s cul-de-sac- News-ish is the perfect antidote to the actual news.

With Seann’s infectious humour & Mark’s consummate one-liners, the boys dissect broadsheet and tabloid headlines for your entertainment. Mark’s inability to grasp reality is a rare and always hilarious gift. They both have their own quirky take on the news stories and Seann and Mark’s interpretation of the colourful characters in the public eye.
