Episode 18 - Tez Ilyas

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.

This week’s News-Ish was a very special one; recorded live from Standon Calling! It kicked off with a lovely bit of audience interaction, which was helped by the rain bringing in festival revellers, much to the delight of Seann and Mark. As usual though, Seann’s mum was on the phone to deliver the latest dose of local news, including her visit to the animal hospital, and much, much, much more. Seann and Mark also delved into the problems of Fortnite, and introduced a new feature called ‘Can You Cross Your Legs’. Neither Seann and Mark could cross their legs, and neither could guest Jake Lambert, who was on weather duties. Seann also had a fight with a child and lost.

Episode 30 - Live from Standon Calling

Seann and Mark discussed aid, National Orgasm Day and death threats. We also got a deeper insight into what it was like growing up with Michael Walsh as your dad and who Mark’s favourite dictators are. On the phone to tell us the weather – although Seann almost didn’t let him – was the very funny Ken Cheng. His choice of song became very topical.

Episode 29 - Ken Cheng

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

Seann and Mark discussed school teacher crushes, what would happen if Boris Johnson returned to government as Prime Minister and how ‘what’s your favourite colour’ is a key question in any important interview. Graham Dickson was this week’s weather reporter who explained all about his new show ‘Timber’ which is heading to Edinburgh this year.

Episode 27 - Graham Dickson

Newsish this week saw Seann and Mark talk about machetes, protesting of gay conversion therapy and of course the World Cup! Seann had a lot to say about toy guns and didn’t let Mark say too much about the conflict in South Sudan. As this week’s weather reporter, we had Ed Night who also filled us in on his Edinburgh show for 2018.
