We are honoured this week to be joined by a British plastic surgeon who has spent much time in Gaza since this genocide began performing life-saving and reconstructive surgeries under increasingly difficult conditions - Dr. Victoria Rose.

We discuss the difficult journey into Gaza, how her life back home has been affected and what the future might hold for Palestine.

Alexei also asks for a new face.

Young Ones writer Lise Mayer joins a grumpy Alexei and an extra loud Talal (sorry!) on stage at The Museum of Comedy to discuss how The Young Ones got made, the early days of The Comic Strip, Linda's aunt Amy, what position Alexei would hold in Jeremy and Zarah's new government.

They also taste test the range of soft drinks by the Palestine Cola company!

We're back at The Museum of Comedy with a live podcast in front of a gorgeous audience. It's a shame, however, that the world is a living nightmare...

Alexei and Talal, wiped out from dancing all afternoon, sit back and chat the breeze in this special, lounge edition of the podcast. No frills, no bells OR whistles. Just two tired men yamming on about billionaires, Thom York, Pier Morgan and making a deal with The Devil.
