Seann and Mark argued over bikes, the sun, the death penalty and pretty much every topic of conversation. This week’s Local News featured not just Seann’s parents, but a special guest and a whirlwind of a conversation. On the phone as this week’s weather reporter, we had producer, comedian and film fanatic Jon Harvey. Jon told us how he inspired a Tarantino film – wow!

Episode 28 - Jon Harvey

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.
