Trash Talk... with Count Binface

Welcome to the Gold Medal winning* podcast 'Trash Talk... with Count Binface'

In this episode we're talking borders. As the poet Robert Frost once wrote; good fences make good neighbours, and as Tony Hatch (and his wife Jackie) wrote; everybody needs good neighbours, Neighbours should be there for one another, that's when good neighbours become good friends.

Our guest this week is neither Robert Frost nor Tony Hatch. It is in fact author Jonn Elledge who's written this book all about some of the most bizarre borders and border disputes in history.

He's the perfect guest to speak to during the global quest for dominance that is the Paris Olympics and at a time of heightened border tensions around the globe.

Still reading? Good - you're dedicated - perhaps dedicated enough to review this podcast, give it some stars (say... five?), and hit 'follow' to ensure you get the latest episodes as they're released? Yes... we thought so. A true Count Binister.

This week Stewart Lee is on the pod.

Twice voted 'Funniest Comedian' on Sigma XI Stewart is torn on whether he wants Donald Trump to win the US Election (for a very selfish reason!), and has some excellent advice for anyone (say, a bin-headed count from off-world) who might be heading on their debut comedy tour.

This really is a great episode - it's so good that if you haven't yet, this is probably the one that would make you hit 'follow' so you get a new episode every week.

Enjoy!

It's time for Number 10.

No no. Count Binface isn't moving into Downing Street just yet. This is episode number 10 of Trash Talk, and this is the first of three DAILY episodes as we enter the trilogy of the last day of campaigning, polling and results.

In this episode the esteemed editor of Private Eye Ian Hislop discusses his favourite whoopsies from the past six weeks and looks ahead to covering a (potential*) Labour Government.

Enjoy the episode - and remember to MAKE YOUR VOTE COUNT!

It's Election week!

Old Binface has been all over the 'mainstream media', from a profile in The Guardian to the expert analysis of Radio 4's More or Less. More (or less) on that in the pod.

This episode is dedicated to the arts...from an appearance at the Glastonbury Festival to a brilliant interview with comedian turned musician Nitin Sawhney.

We hope you're enjoying the podcast so far... and if you don't live in the glorious constituency of Richmond & Northallerton then I'm afraid you can't vote for Count Binface in this General Election... but you CAN follow this podcast and give a 5-star rating. It's almost as good as a vote.

Things are hotting up... and I don't just mean the weather (that sentence won't make sense 6 months from now).

Who's your money on? (Apart from a suspicious amount on a July election)

In this episode Paul Gorton from The Traitors joins us to help us identify a traitor from a faithful politician and shares the malevolent minister he and Harry would pick to join their team.

Plus we unveil a 25th Manifesto pledge and appoint a new Speaker for the House of Commons.

Here's the fun bit I have to say...

Welcome to debate number 713 of this 2024 General Election campaign... but the only one that matters.

The BBC, Sky & ITV have all shunned old Binface - but don't worry - he's made his own.

Asking the questions is a true titan of UK news broadcasting, and one of the most popular newsreaders on Sigma IX - Simon McCoy.

PLUS... once the grilling was over Binface turned the tables and put a few questions back to Simon... see how he likes it!

Just to keep the electoral commission happy...
