In this episode, Jack dives headfirst into the chaotic world of British accents — from Siri failing to understand him, to the unspoken pressure to sand down your voice just to fit in. It’s part rant, part love letter to regional accents, and part reflection on how class, culture, and comedy all collide whenever someone from Runcorn dares to speak in their own voice.

Along the way, Jack explores everything from political satire and podcast presenters who’ve shed their hometown twang, to the weird class-coded rules baked into British broadcasting. There are stories about working in radio, a surreal compliment from Michael Buffer himself, and a little sidebar about Eddie Hearn, tuxedos, and looking like a “strangled Michael Ball.”

If you’ve ever softened your vowels for work, code-switched to be taken seriously, or just felt the weight of Britain’s class system in your own speech, this one will hit home.
