Bangers and mash in action for our first poet. Tim Key, an English poet, comedian, actor and screenwriter, joins Nick and Angela to fire up Dish in 2026. Last year was a huge one for Tim, made notable by the release of The Ballad Of Wallis Island, a film he stars in alongside best friend Tom Basden. The pair wrote the screenplay together, basing it on a short film they had made nearly 20 years earlier. It has amassed critical and popular acclaim, winning three British Independent Film Awards.  Alongside The Ballad... Tim released a book of poems, L.A. Baby!, and launched his latest stand-up show Loganberry, which returns for a new tour across the UK from February. He's a long-time collaborator with former Dish guest Steve Coogan, appearing with Coogan in Saxondale and a number of Alan Partridge projects.  Tim loves the pub, loves fish and chips, and believes he has worked out how to get the most out of Dish through his list of likes and dislikes. With a Five Points beer in hand, he is served sticky sausage & apple braise with a mash that, as always, becomes quite the talking point. Waitrose's wine experts have paired the meal with a Château Maris Organic Les Planels. With poetry, laughter and stories about pub characters and eating in the bath, our first episode of the year is a bumper one to get us all going. And, in case you are wondering, Helena Bonham Carter is up next week for our final episode of Season 8.  You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube and, new for this season, on Spotify.  All recipes from this podcast can be found at waitrose.com/dishrecipes A transcript for this episode can be found at waitrose.com/dish If you want to get in touch with us about anything at all, contact dish@waitrose.co.uk  Dish from Waitrose is made by Cold Glass Productions Learn more about your ad choices.

Jimmy Donny Cosgrove co-wrote one of the decade's biggest comedy flops: BBC 1 sitcom ‘Warren', starring Martin Clunes. Lambasted on social media and derided by critics, the Daily Telegraph claimed it was ‘the final nail in the coffin for British sitcom'.   Jimmy's agent dumped him. He received death threats. And he hasn't had a show on TV since. In this frank and funny conversation with Olly, Jimmy recounts how he blagged his way on to a comedy course at University; how his heart sank when his show was scheduled in a double-bill with the long-anticipated return of Alan Partridge; and explains why his experiences of the TV sausage-factory, with its endless rewrites and creative compromises, left him bruised and disillusioned… Nowadays, Jimmy hosts a live game show experience. Find out more at showtimelondon.co.uk. _____________ Meanwhile, in the Zeitgeist, Ollie Peart, freshly delighted to furnish the world with a Captain Spronk playlist, learns the latest trends in First Aid.  What's the current advice for performing CPR?  How do you apply for a free defibrillator? And how many heart attacks per year happen outside a hospital environment? Equipped with a ‘mini-Ann' and the Revivr app from the British Heart Foundation, Ollie has the answers… _____________ Elsewhere, down the Foxhole, Alix Fox assists a listener who wants to know how to help his other half as she prepares for the menopause. Explaining how the menopause's three stages (perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause) comprise a profound physical and emotional transition, Alix reveals the hormonal shifts that can cause brain fog, anxiety, mood swings, sleep disruption, and changes in libido.  Along the way, Alix speaks to clinical sexologist Dr Angela Wright, and recommends the books Burning Up, Frozen Out by Joe Warner and Rob Kemp; The Little Book of HRT by Dr Ellie Cannon and Menowars by Fiona Clark. _____________ Finally, our record of the month is ‘Dead and Gone',  the new single from Leigh-Anne's debut album, Because My Ego Told Me To. _____________ Olly, Alix, Ollie and special musical guests will return with our annual, chaotic Christmas special on 10th December.  In the meantime, you can help support the show into 2026 by donating beer money and/or leaving us a review.

emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Armando Iannucci, originally episode 174 from 2017-10-24.Original writeup below:Responsible for an insane amount of some of the greatest UK comedy since the 90's, including the writing and production of 'The Day Today' which spawned Alan Partridge and the Partridge multiverse, 'The Thick Of It', 'Time Trumpet', and US based 'Veep', Armando is clearly a titan of the game. With his new production 'The Death Of Stalin' (in cinemas NOW!), he's been grinding it out on the media promo run, but is sharp as a katana as he sits down with Pip for a nice long chat covering all the necessary bases and loads more that you'd hope to hear about, including said promo run grind and the madness of it all, especially seeing your own film countless times, being mindful of not using the victims of the subject of his film for comedy and finding that material from many various other sources, social media and how the echo chamber is reinforced and debate is fading, how the film draws parallels with today's US presidency even though it was filmed months before Trump's election win, and how to successfully wrangle an all star cast in order to promote efficiency on set. Tons more obviously but yeah, super entertaining and a must for Armando fans and those who appreciate the craft of writing and production.

Daily Show correspondent Jordan Klepper joins Ophira Eisenberg to talk about raising his two-and-a-half-year-old son, Witt, while juggling a career built on improv, political satire, and late-night comedy. Klepper recalls misjudging the mattress size for his son's bunk bed—leaving a four-inch gap that could double as future deposition material—and justifying his “safety plan” with a beanbag chair under the danger zone. He rails against the whiplash speed of kids' TV, admitting Bluey gets a pass while Gabby's Dollhouse and Cocomelon make him wince, then describes how YouTube ballet performances and Singin' in the Rain became his family's slower-paced alternative. Klepper revisits his Kalamazoo math-nerd roots, including the actuarial scientist who tried to sell him on predicting death for insurance companies, before he pivoted to improv and eventually landed at The Daily Show. Now, he applies his correspondent's interrogative style to parenting—only to be told by his wife to stop cross-examining their toddler at the dinner table. From Amazon-era instant gratification to his son's invented sneakers-with-springs-and-wheels, Klepper balances surreal political interviews with the even trickier task of convincing Witt to wear a jacket. The episode ends with a new father–son bit: shouting “Dan!” back and forth, lifted from an Alan Partridge sketch that Witt now proudly recycles as their private running gag.

Labour want to bring in digital I.D. and many people do NOT like it. Are they right? Are they wrong? And what is the “Lethal Trifecta” that makes the plan so risky? Hannah Fearn is very opposed to digital I.D. on civil liberties grounds. Jonn Elledge thinks it's not that big a deal. Special guest Alex Hern – The Economist's correspondent on A.I. – has the inside tech perspective. And Matt Green tries to keep order. Intrusion into privacy or a well-managed public version of something we all consented to years ago? “What this is really about nationalising I.D.,” says Alex, “because the Tories privatised it.” ESCAPE ROUTES  • Hannah recommends How Are You?

#409 Di and Dodi Threesome - Recorded in the week of a tragic loss, at least there is good news for one of the podcast's favourite personalities. Richard's guest is the brilliant actor and writer and also his ex-girlfriend, Sally Phillips. They talk about the girl who smelled of spam and Sally's impressive performance in the film “How To Please A Woman”, but they can't avoid the elephant in the room and discuss there somewhat different memories of the break up of their relationship (and at least one of hers confuses a sketch with reality, but what is truth?) and how this impacted on their Edinburgh shows (and lives).Can they reach a place of forgiveness for their behaviour? Also Sally's side of the Princess Diana love triangle, how being in a comedy gang in the 1990s gave us all too much confidence, how she got the job in Alan Partridge, what led to her working with Mr Tumble and speculation on why Hugh Grant doesn't talk to her. Also the impact of disablist language (and an appearance from her son, Ol), grabbing the reins of power, being careful what you wish for, Dexter Fletcher and a tension that makes this one of the greatest and funniest RHLSTPs ever.SUPPORT THE SHOW!Watch our TWITCH CHANNELBecome a badger and see extra content at our WEBSITE See details of the RHLSTP TOUR DATES Buy DVDs and books from GO FASTER STRIPE Hosted on Acast.

https://www.jasonnewland.com/ Let Me Bore You to Sleep (#1453, October 3rd, 2025)  is a long, rambling, intentionally drowsy podcast hosted by Jason Newland. It runs about 1 hour and 31 minutes. Jason wanders between everyday observations, playful tangents, and one central Q&A Friday question: “Have your new neighbors moved in?” Key Themes & Segments Opening (0:00 – 10:00) Jason greets listeners, jokes about doing 1,452 previous episodes, and scratches an itch mid-intro. He thanks listeners but struggles to sound sincere without laughing. Mentions his podcast's modest downloads, giving shoutouts to listeners in Minnesota and Oregon. Explains Q&A Friday tradition—this week with only one submitted question. Meta-Podcast Talk (10:00 – 20:00) Jason discusses how few questions come in, suggests people could email him at his Hotmail address. Talks about drinking water quietly to avoid editing out gulp sounds. Reflects on how his voice and style come across—often rambling, repetitive, and humorous through mundane details. Everyday Tangents (20:00 – 35:00) Discusses rain, clouds, and whether birds can fly in storms. Shares stories about childhood fear of jumping from trees and a friend's odd “your feet are lower than your eyes” explanation. Recounts how his dog Vinny once panicked at the sight of a hot-air balloon. ChatGPT Experiment (35:00 – 55:00) Jason describes feeding his TurboScribe transcripts into ChatGPT and being surprised that AI could mimic his rambling style. Reads back AI-generated responses to the week's question (“Have your new neighbors moved in?”), laughing at its ghost and bus analogies. Reflects on the weirdness of having AI describe his “style” as repetitive, mundane, self-aware, and surreal. Answering the Question – Neighbors (55:00 – 1:07:00) Jason finally answers: yes, two new neighbors have moved in. One downstairs (has deliveries but Jason hasn't met them). One opposite his flat (they've exchanged greetings twice). Shares awkward encounters: offering help with moving furniture, feeling self-conscious about being seen waiting for deliveries, and worrying whether his neighbor believed him. Reflects on how his building used to be very social but may become quieter as long-term residents move away. Reflections on Change & Community (1:07:00 – 1:15:00) Wonders if he'll eventually become like “Uncle Sausages,” the older neighbor who kept to himself. Notes the building feels less lively now compared to when he first moved in. Thinks about how neighbors cycle in and out, and how one day he'll be “the old man upstairs.” Daily Life & Random Observations (1:15:00 – 1:26:00) Talks about deliveries (razor, shampoo, Ready Brek cereal). Complains about rising grocery prices. Explains how Brits tell the time differently (quarter to/past instead of “fifteen after”). Jokes about sundials giving inconsistent times at a garden centre. Closing (1:26:00 – 1:31:00) Plans a future episode about iconic British comedy characters (e.g., Patricia Routledge's Hyacinth “Bouquet,” Alan Partridge, Frank Spencer). Wraps up with a reminder for listeners to be kind to themselves and ends with his trademark gentle sign-off. Overall Tone & Style Conversational, meandering, and self-deprecating. Mixes humor with personal anecdotes about neighbors, pets, childhood memories, and trivial daily life. Frequently acknowledges the “pointlessness” of his rambling but leans into it, reinforcing the podcast's sleepy, hypnotic effect. ✨ In short: This episode blends Jason's classic sleepy rambling style with a surprisingly reflective discussion about neighbors, AI imitation of his voice, and how his living environment is slowly changing.

We need to make room for Henry Normal" – Simon O'Hagan, Radio Times-"It's a rare and lovely thing: half an hour of radio that stops you short, gently demands your attention and then wipes your tears away while you have to have a little sit down"-"It's a real treat to hear a seasoned professional like Henry taking command of this evening comedy spot to deliver a show that's idiosyncratic and effortlessly funny"-"Not heard anything that jumps from hilarious to moving in such an intelligent, subtle way as Henry Normal's show"

LOOK OUT! It’s only Films To Be Buried With! Join your host Brett Goldstein as he talks life, death, love and the universe with comic, actor, writer and poet TIM KEY! This is the second and final part... As well as being a unique individual in his own right, Tim is also one of those 'six degrees' people who you can get to and from just about anyone involved in comedy and screen. It speaks well how much Tim is adored in the wider world but also Tim is just awesome in all roles. Whether you met him through one of the various Alan Partridge projects, or through Taskmaster / Alex Horne-iverse, or through appearances in all manner of manifestations, you'll get a ton from this episode (and the subsequent one!) as it's just good times and good vibes from the beginning. In this second part you'll hear more from the glorious mind of Tim and get that necessary closure from the first part, resulting a feeling of overall contentment and fulfillment. Enjoy!
