You can listen to the full 85-minute episode without ads and support our work at https://www.patreon.com/posts/e97-radical-10-116392240In this episode, we talk to Michael Richmond, a Jewish communist author and anti-racist activist, about David Baddiel's ridiculous book, Jews Don't Count. In this book, Baddiel claims that the key thing about contemporary antisemitism is the left's confusion over it, and how this confusion means that Jews are uniquely excluded from left-wing political discourse and activism.We discuss (and make fun of) Baddiel's book for about an hour and a half covering every aspect of his shallow understanding of racism, whiteness, Jewishness and antisemitism, and why Baddiel should probably get new friends.Listen to the full episode here:E98: Radical Reads – ‘Jews Don't Count' by David BaddielMore information:Read Michael's excellent book (co-authored with Alex Charnley), Fractured: Race, Class, Gender and the Hatred of Identity PoliticsA number of Michael's articles can be found here and here.

David Baddiel joins Simon and Matt for a chat about his new non-fiction book, 'My Family: The Memoir' He discusses his relationship with his mum and dad, some of the hilarious anecdotes from his childhood that appear in the book and the love that he has for both his parents, despite their quirks and faults. His family life growing up was complicated, and David doesn't shy away from telling the home truths of his upbringing. Simon and Matt also discuss David's brilliant new podcast, "A Muslim And A Jew Go There" which he co presents with Sayeeda Warsi. Here's some more gumf on the book: A searingly honest, funny and moving family memoir in which David Baddiel exposes his mother's idiosyncratic sex life, and his father's dementia, to the same affectionate scrutiny. On the surface, David Baddiel's childhood was fairly standard: a lower-middle-class Jewish family living in an ordinary house in Dollis Hill, north-west London. But David came to realise that his mother was in fact not ordinary at all. Having escaped extermination by fleeing Nazi Germany as a child, she was desperate to make her life count, which took the form of a passionate, decades-long affair with a golfing memorabilia salesman. David's detailing of the affair – including a hilarious focus on how his mother turned their household over to golf memorabilia, and an eye-popping cache of her erotic writings – leads to the inescapable conclusion that Sarah Baddiel was a cross between Jack Niklaus and Erica Jong. Meanwhile, as Baddiel investigates his family's past, his father's memories are fading; dementia is making him moodier and more disinhibited, with an even greater penchant for obscenity. As with his mother's affair, there is both comedy and poignancy to be found: laughter is a constant presence, capable of transforming the darkest of experiences into something redemptive. My Family: The Memoir is David Baddiel's candid examination of his childhood, family and memory offering a twisted love letter to his parents. Learn more about your ad choices.

Host Carl Jones is joined by former Nottingham Forest striker Jason Lee to discuss his career in football and his spell in the Premier League.   From working his way up the league ladder to playing in Europe for Nottingham Forest by his early-20s, things took a turn for the sinister when Baddiel and Skinner's infamous Fantasy Football sketch made him one of the most recognisable faces in the Premier League for a short period in the 90s.   From there, we cover the indirect impact of that sketch on his career, his most memorable moments including winning promotion and moving north of the border, and discuss his current role working in EDI and why it's so important for the modern game to keep up with the times.

I denne episoden tar vi for oss noen av våre definitive favoritt-anthems gjennom tidene - de medrivende sangene som bare må synges med på. Vi deler personlige minner knyttet til noen av de største låtene, fra da vi oppdaget dem første gang. Frode mimrer fra gutterommet på 80-tallet, mens Lars graver fram perler fra 90-tallet. For oss handler en ordentlig anthem om store følelser, fellesskap og alt-mulig-annet enn stille sittende lyttting. Så stemningen er høy når vi mimrer og deler musikkminner! Kort sagt - en morsom og nostalgisk episode for alle som digger å synge med på de store låtene. Join the chant!

Episode 125Ah, the summer of '96, where England's hopes soared, Terry Venables was the maestro of our football dreams, and penalties felt like an English rite of passage – albeit a painful one.Picture this: Gazza's iconic dentist chair celebration, the Three Lions anthem blasting from every corner, and Terry Venables orchestrating a symphony of soccer brilliance that had us all thinking, "Football's coming home!" Spoiler alert: it took a detour at penalties, but what a ride!And the music, oh, the soundtrack of that summer! Oasis belting out "Don't Look Back in Anger" as if they knew we'd be reminiscing about '96 forever. Britpop anthems, Spice Girls taking over, and every radio station playing Baddiel, Skinner, and the Lightning Seeds on repeat.As for the weather, a miracle unfolded – not a drop of rain in June, July, and August. It was like the universe decided to give England a break and let us enjoy our Carlsberg in peace.And let's not forget the movies – Trainspotting  and who could resist the charm of Hugh Grant in "Four Weddings and a Funeral"?So here's to the summer of '96 – where football dreams soared, music rocked, the sun shone, and penalties left us with a lifetime of banter. Terry Venables, you led us on a rollercoaster, and we wouldn't have had it any other way. Cheers to the summer that made us laugh, cry, and sing our hearts out – all in the name of England.Music:Jesus Christ - The LongpigsThree Lions - Skinner and BaddielC'mon Kids - The Boo RadleysSupport the showwww.justpassingthroughpodcast.comInsta:justpassingthroughpodcastContact:justpassingthroughpodcast@gmail.com

There are broadly three Ian Broudies in the public imagination. One is the songwriter with a catalogue of softly psychedelic left-field pop tunes. The second is the record producer behind Echo & the Bunnymen, the Fall, the Coral and Terry Hall. The third is the co-composer of our new national anthem. He talks here about early life in Liverpool and the records that enthralled him (See Emily Play, Autobahn), what he learned from his mentor Roger Eagle (who ran Eric's Club), a life-shifting moment with Steve Wright, what matters most in production, the disastrous time he introduced the Spice Girls on Top of the Pops and why the FA rejected the original version of Three Lions, wanted a new title and asked him to drop Skinner and Baddiel. He's funny, outspoken, candid, modest and affectionate and movingly philosophical on the rigours of composition: "as soon as you finish a song it becomes something - but it loses 90% of what it could have become".This podcast was recorded in front of a live audience at 21Soho in London on October 30th, 2023 and Ian's new memoir is just out - 'Tomorrow's Here Today: Lightning Seeds, Football and Post-Punk'.Order Ian's book here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tomorrows-Here-Today-Lightning-Post-Punk/dp/178870902021Soho: https://www.21-soho.com/Tickets for Word In Your Ear live at 21Soho on November 27th here: https://www.tickettext.co.uk/ZOthfatjxiSubscribe to Word In Your Ear on Patreon for early - and ad-free! - access to all of our content: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Frank Skinner is a comedian, broadcaster and author who has entertained millions through TV shows such as Fantasy Football League, The Frank Skinner Show, Baddiel and Skinner Unplanned and Room 101, as well as many sell-out stand-up comedy tours. Frank's love of comedy is surpassed only by his love of football. He is a lifelong supporter of West Bromwich Albion and, with David Baddiel and the Lightning Seeds, penned 'Three Lions' the best known football anthem of modern times.But Frank's other great love is his Catholic faith, something he reconnected with after initially trying to walk away from it in his early twenties. In 2021 he wrote A Comedian's Prayer Book which featured his thoughts on hell, judgement, atheism, money, faith and the X-Men among other things. But how does a comedian square edgy and sometimes crude standup routines with churchgoing and confession? Isn't faith just very unfashionable in the comedy circuit? Or are comedians trying to fill a God-shaped hole along with everyone else?For Re-Enchanting: https://www.seenandunseen.com/podcastThere's more to life than the world we can see. Re-Enchanting is a podcast from Seen & Unseen recorded at Lambeth Palace Library, the home of the Centre for Cultural Witness. Justin Brierley and Belle Tindall engage faith and spirituality with leading figures in science, history, politics, art and education. Can our culture be re-enchanted by the vision of Christianity?

This is the second instalment of a three-part episode. David Baddiel would love there to be a God. The comedian and bestselling author has spent a lot of time fantasising about how much better life would be if there actually were a supreme being – which for him would be some kind of Superhero Dad who chased off Death. Unfortunately for him, there isn't. Or at least, that's Baddiel's view, and it's the starting point of his new book The God Desire. In April 2023 Baddiel came to our stage at The Tabernacle in Notting Hill, London, to argue that it is the very intensity of his, and everyone else's, desire for God to exist that proves God's non-existence. Baddiel was joined on stage by comedian, actor and film-maker Richard Ayoade and theologian and broadcaster Ben Quash for a conversation that tackled this most ancient and fundamental of questions: is our need for there to be something greater than ourselves anything more than just that – a need? We'd love to hear your feedback and what you think we should talk about next, who we should have on and what our future debates should be.  Send us an email or voice note with your thoughts to podcasts@intelligencesquared.com or Tweet us @intelligence2.  And if you'd like to support our mission to foster honest debate and compelling conversations, as well as ad-free podcasts, exclusive bonus content, early access and much more, become a supporter of Intelligence Squared.

BLUE ARMY! Hello there, and welcome to another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop!, the best music podcast in the world... so we say. This week the World Cup starts... which is a bit bizarre, but we thought we would get in on the act and talk about the relationship between football and music. Steve knows all about the game, Sam probably calls it soccer, THE IDIOT, so we needed another voice to help us through, and who better to join us than frontman of Therapy? and massive Chelsea fan Andy Cairns.We look at 8 pre-tournament tunes to see if they hold up to musical scrutiny, from New Order, Baddiel and Skinner, Black Grape, Collapsed Lung, Fat Les, Ant and Dec, Dizzee Rascal and the England World Cup squad (on numerous occasions)... oh, and, yeah, James Corden as well. FFS. There's also talk of a few songs we've been loving this week, from Mina Caputo, Letlive and Girls in Synthesis. Plus Steve reports of Biffy and Architects big London show at the O2, and a much more intimate affair at Gang of Youths. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

“When he reads your books, I see my boy in his true, pure form.” That's an extract from an email Debs Butler sent to the comedian David Baddiel.

Greetings, bonjour, what's happeningWelcome to Lager Time, stories, poems, beats, bars and banter.I'm still in flux, currently sat in Plumstead at my in-laws where I've mostly been for the last couple of weeks. Was back in Maidstone yesterday and  now, I'm back here again. Needs must, life and that. Off to a wedding this weekend in York. Never been there before, I've heard it's pretty; hopefully they've got a Wetherspoons.This week has been a little quieter, I've been feeling tired. Either it's the heat and the excesses of last week, or some kind of post COVID-Gastroenteritis effects but I'm wiped out. But, I'm ok, we're here, my wife's back, dogs are ok; we crack on mate.Last night I was back with the BAC Beatbox Academy, who've I worked with on and off for over ten years, now. I was helping some of the younger ones get ready for their curtain-raiser performance, for the Frankenstein: How To Make A Monster Show at the Regents Park Open Air Theatre, this Monday. If you're not aware of this show, it's a modern re-telling of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, all done through beatbox, rap, spoken word and movement. It's won multiple awards and toured all over the gaff and this may well be your last chance to see it. It's a banger.The success of that show has had an unprecedented effect on many people, myself included. Though I've been around the academy for years, I work closely with the director, Conrad Murray and I've known most of the cast for many years; I was not involved with the development of the show. Yet, prior to COVID, when it was winning every award going, people would come to me and congratulate me for it, it was a strange time. But I was delighted for my pal, all the cast and all the young guys from the academy (that I did work with) who got to go on stage and perform before the main show when it ran at BAC, in 2019That whole period of 2018-2020 when we were doing High Rise, Frankenstein and all sorts of other projects was nuts. So it's been nice that, in a way, it's come back around again. It's not the same of course but that's cool. I worked with a young person last week, in Manchester, who's part of the academy, who I've not seen since before COVID and it was great to see her so it feels like I'm reconnecting again. Which is goodI'm dropping the second track from The 90 Sick EP this week, called The Colour Orange. Which I suppose is a story about family and roots and class, all set around the time of Euro 96. While it may feel like I'm rehashing old bits at the minute, they'll be some fresher stuff coming. I'm starting to learn some of these newer poems with a view of putting a set together for this live-stream. I should set a date really, shouldn't I? Let's say September for now.Anyway, that'll doHave a banging weekendPaulThe Colour OrangeHe's on telly again. The man with the permanent suntan, funny accent, white teeth and shiny face. Often seen on TV bending spoons with his mind, like some sort of bastard child of Magneto and the Tubular Bells guy, dangerously mixed with that suspect cheery disposition that I only ever see in travelling Christian theatre companies, bouncing around my school stage, singing it in the valleys and shouting from the mountain tops.The spoon bender is now enticing me to touch a big orange spot on my screen. This strange man seems to be smeared all over television, like the Oxy 10 I apply badly to my face each morning before school, looking in the mirror too scared to pop spots and wondering who Adam is and why he's stuck an apple in my throat. Each time I swallow it looks like a satsuma's being slipped down the inside of a snake.The man with the permanent suntan, funny accent, white teeth and shiny face is making yet another TV appearance, on the special edition of the Baddiel and Skinner Fantasy Football show, which I'm watching, sat in the living room, on the well-worn settee, on my own.Apparently, if I touch this big orange spot, the man with the permanent suntan, funny accent, white teeth and shiny face will become like a SCART lead and channel all that positive energy from televisions around the nation towards the England football team. It's Euro 96; they're playing Scotland the very next day! My grandpa, from Dad's side, is from Scotland. My older brother supports Scotland, he doesn't support England, he supports the other team when England play, and that really gets on my nerves! There's a lot at stake for this game.I sink down onto the floral-patterned badly faded settee like a fence, watching the screen, picking splinters from my spleen. I roll my eyes up to the lopsided white wooden shelf on the back wall, on which sits a small collection of my thirteenth birthday cards, which have now managed to last for three days. They all seem to have the same picture, of a hand-drawn school locker with loads of sports equipment spilling out. Stood next to the cards in a permanent place is a small statue of the Virgin Mary from Lourdes. It contains some holy water and two decorative plates, which stand upright like shields and have pictures of both Glasgow and Belfast. Belfast is where my grandad comes from, on Mum's side. Underneath the lopsided white wooden shelf is the TV: a fourteen-inch black Philips box which doesn't have a remote, and sometimes the buttons get stuck and don't work.Like a top gun fighter pilot, target in sight, my eyes lock back on to the big orange spot on the screen. The man with the permanent suntan, funny accent, white teeth and shiny face is enticing me. Touch faith, that song says.I'm not sure what to believe, but I'm willing to give it a go. Mum and Dad probably won't like it, as I'm sure it goes against the teachings of the church, but so far God hasn't answered any of my prayers about girls and I've only just got a Sega Mega Drive; it's 1996! My best friend Rich has already got rid of his and now has a Sega Saturn. And, as for my teeth, I must be at the back of the longest queue in NHS history because I haven't seen an orthodontist yet, my teeth still look like Stonehenge and Richard calls me goofy. I slowly rise, walk towards the telly and stick my sweaty little palm on the static of the glass. Right on the orange spot. I'm doing it for England. I want England to win.It's the following day and I'm now at Richard's house. He's got a much bigger TV; it's massive. He also has Sky; the satellite dish is outside his bedroom on the wall and apparently, at nightime, for ten minutes, there's a secret channel where you get to see naked women! He also watches WWF. I have to make do with WCW on ITV. His parents actually like football and on Sunday they take him to games and watch him play, they don't go to church. He has barbecues in his garden, holidays to Florida and places in Spain where they have outdoor water parks that Richard reckons are way better than the Croydon Water Palace. My family sit round playing guitars and other weird instruments with strings and sing silly-sounding songs in Irish accents.I rode my brand-new bike which I got for my birthday up to Richard's. I say new; it's second-hand, but it's my first ever mountain bike. It's got Shimano gears and Rhino horns. Richard's got two mountain bikes; he keeps one spare.We're both lying on our bellies in his living room, eyes fixed on his massive TV, waiting for the two arch-enemies to commence battle. I'm nervous. I want England to win. I didn't want to watch the game at home, as I knew my older brother would be there, in his Celtic shirt and Scotland scarf, and my dad, who doesn't really like football but will still watch the big games without taking sides. When a player rolls around the floor pretending to be injured, he'll go ‘achhh' just like my grandpa does. I needed to be amongst my own, I want England to win.The first forty-five fly by with turbulence. At half time, it's nil-nil and it's tense. The commentator is telling us that Jamie Redknapp is coming on from the bench; his instructions are to keep hold of the ball in midfield so the full backs can get forward. Richard and I erupt when Gary Neville swings in a cross from the right flank which Alan Shearer heads into the net to put England one-nil up! Rolling round on the floor, Rich trying to put me in the headlock and punch me!Minutes later, out of nowhere, Scotland suddenly get a penalty! Gary McAllister steps up and places the ball on the spot, an expert executioner if ever there was one. I'm nervous. As he takes the few paces just before he strikes, something very strange happens: the ball moves ever so slightly, and when he connects, he hits it hard but Seaman saves and we erupt all over again! It's still one-nil and I'm trying to put Richard in the headlock now, rolling round on the carpet!Now, apparently, at this very moment, hovering above Wembley in a helicopter, holding one of Bobby Moore's England caps, is the man with the permanent suntan, funny accent, white teeth and shiny face! The one who told me to touch the orange spot! It must have been him that moved the ball! And when Jamie Redknapp plays a sweeping pass, flicked on by Darren Anderton into the path of an advancing Paul Gascoigne, who in two amazing moves deftly clips the ball over Colin Hendry's head and slams it into the back of the net, Richard and I explode and go running round his garden, shouting our heads off!The game's finished now, England won! I'm getting on my bike and all I can think about is claiming those rare bragging rights when I get home, as I know my brother was watching it. I start riding, cars in the street are beeping, I can hear people singing everywhere, that Baddiel and Skinner song, ‘Football's Coming Home'. Displayed all over the place is the white and red flag of St George, which until Euro 96 I'd not really seen before, but now it's on almost every house. It's a good day to be English.I ride my brand-new-second-hand bike back home. I can't wait to see my brother's face! I put my bike in the shed and come in through the back door into the kitchen. I can hear my dad on the phone, probably to Grandpa. I hear a few ‘achhh's, which more or less confirms my suspicions. Grandpa normally rings around this time on a Saturday, just before Mum and Dad go to church.My brother is sat in the living room, still wearing his Celtic shirt and Scotland scarf, sunk so low into the settee I can barely see his body. He's watching the news. Gazza's goal is doing a loop-the-loop. I pause by the door. He looks dejected and I suddenly feel like I've said something to upset someone, except I haven't said anything yet. I feel bad, so I decide not to gloat. I try to make light of it, by telling him how I touched the orange spot on the telly the night before and that man with the permanent suntan, funny accent, white teeth and shiny face was hovering in a helicopter above Wembley and must have made Gary McAllister miss his penalty. My brother doesn't look at me; he stays slumped on the settee, looking at the telly, and mumbles some words about the orange spot, something about church and Mum and Dad. He then says something I don't really understand but I know it's bad, about Belfast, Grandpa, Grandad, marches and some people called loyalists.I can hear my dad calling me from the hall to go and speak to Grandpa. I remind myself that my new bike has got Shimano gears and Rhino horns and that it was four miles to Richard's house, so that's eight miles in total that I rode today, and I tell myself that it's probably best that I don't mention the score.

Ugo Monye and Chris Jones are joined by former British & Irish Lions captain Sam Warburton to discuss this year's tour so far, which players have already staked a claim for a Test spot and whether football is really coming home. Sam is also here to announce he will be taking over the Rugby Union Weekly feed during the Lions tour to deliver four special episodes with some of the greatest players to wear the Lions jersey. His first episode with Sir Gareth Edwards all about the famous tours of 1971 and 1974 launches on Wednesday. They also discuss who impressed for England in their match against the USA and find out how Ugo ended up singing with Baddiel and Skinner.

The guys zip back to the early 90s and take a look at a once revolutionary show that was well loved but also controversial. With that controversy in mind, was it as great as we remembered? Should it make a comeback? Maybe not, but they've got 4 UK No1s under their belt, BOSH!!! TIDRPinbox@gmail.com

The atmosphere across England today was relief and delight, with headlines from The English Sun like ‘55 years of hurt never stopped Raheeming', a reference to Raheem Sterling scoring and the last time England beat Germany in a major tournament was the 1966 World Cup. As well as the Euro 96 song Football's Coming Home by Baddiel, Skinner and the Lightning Seeds. But here in Ireland, are we happy England have progressed to the quarter finals against Ukraine and could go on and win the whole Euros? England beat their old enemy Germany but are we happy our old enemy England is doing so well?Henry McKean has been out and about to ask.

David Baddiel is a comedian and writer. Known both for his solo work and for his comedic collaborations with, among others, Rob Newman and Frank Skinner, he has also written a screenplay, a musical and several books. Born in 1964 to Jewish parents, the second of three boys, he was brought up in Dollis Hill, London. His father was a scientist from Swansea and his mother was a refugee, whose family had to flee from Nazi Germany. When David was 13, his older brother Ivor played him sketches by Derek and Clive which kindled his appetite to become a comedian. He read English at Cambridge and became vice-president of the Footlights before starting out on the London comedy circuit. Together with Steve Punt, Hugh Dennis and Rob Newman, he was part of The Mary Whitehouse Experience for Radio 1 and later BBC 2. Rob and David went on to create Newman and Baddiel in Pieces, and were the first comedians to sell out Wembley Arena with a gig in 1993, prompting newspapers to declare comedy "the new rock 'n' roll". David then formed a comedy partnership with Frank Skinner and they hosted Fantasy Football League and later Baddiel and Skinner Unplanned. They co-wrote the lyrics to one of the best-known football songs, Three Lions.In 2005, David took a break from performance and concentrated on writing novels for adults and children's books as well as the script for a film, which became a musical, The Infidel. He returned to stand-up in 2013 with a show about fame. He recently mined his parents' idiosyncrasies and the rare form of dementia from which his father suffers for a stand-up show entitled My Family: Not the Sitcom. His partner is fellow comedian and writer Morwenna Banks. They have two teenage children. Presenter: Kirsty Young Producer: Cathy Drysdale.
