Alexei Sayle has spent a lifetime finding humour in anger, absurdity and the systems that shape us. Raised in Liverpool by fiercely committed communist parents, his childhood was filled with politics, protest marches and unusual cultural influences - from Soviet cinema to family trips behind the Iron Curtain.In this episode of Full Disclosure, James O'Brien sits down with the comedian, writer and actor to trace the path from a rebellious schoolboy and struggling art student to the incendiary force at the heart of alternative comedy. Alexei recalls discovering his voice at the Comedy Store, forging lifelong friendships with Rik Mayall, Adrian Edmondson, Nigel Planer and the Comic Strip generation, and becoming known for a furious on-stage persona that often bore little resemblance to the man offstage.He reflects on success, creative reinvention and the strange experience of falling out of fashion before returning to stand-up with a more personal, contemplative voice. Alexei also discusses his lifelong political activism, the ideals he inherited from his parents, and the tension between wanting to change the world and recognising the limits of protest.It's a funny, candid and deeply thoughtful conversation about comedy, conviction, reinvention and the complicated business of staying true to yourself.Find out more about How I've Tried to Change the World: By Walking Down the Middle of the Street Shouting by Alexei Sayle here Full Disclosure is a Global ProductionListen or watch every Friday on Global Player, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.

This week, having a very specific talent can lead to a dream job. It's how cartoonist John Rose got his foot in the door to draw the comic strip Snuffy Smith. Also, there are dos and don'ts for treating poison ivy. And, a young, old-time musician wants to save her family's lost ballads.You'll hear these stories and more this week, Inside Appalachia.
For nearly 100 years, Snuffy Smith has been a staple of newspaper comic pages, though these days, it's easier to find him online. Snuffy Smith was brought to life by Artist Fred Lasswell in the 1930s, but now the strip is written and drawn by John Rose, who lives in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley. We hear from Rose about drawing the famous hillbilly. The post The Legacy Of Comic Strip Snuffy Smith, This West Virginia Morning appeared first on West Virginia Public Broadcasting.

During the Hugh-Xiulan wedding, Ginger (yeah, "Who?" is spot on) pines after Gerald (nope, not him either), but Xiulan and Edda believe he's gay. He's not, it turns out. And to prove it, Ginger and Gerald make out in a graveyard near a tombstone whose most prominent engraved word is "LAID." Great subtle stuff, by the master himself. Also, when we say "make out," we mean specifically that Gerald fingerbangs Ginger against the aforementioned tombstone. Don't forget: This is the wedding where all of the ladies in the wedding party went commando. Did we mention that it is the middle of the day? Or that this is immediately after the wedding? Or that this graveyard is obviously right next to the chapel where the wedding was taking place? And that it was broad daylight? Oh, we said that one already? Well, it bears repeating. Weirdly, their public fucking isn't something everyone can see. (First time for everything in this strip, we suppose.) Only Seth notices them as they fornicate on the grass behind a tombstone. Not a tombstone large enough to adequately hide a humping couple in the daytime, of course. No one (except Seth) notices even though they're all standing just three feet away. High quality stuff, as per usual. The Chickweed strips we discuss this episode: You can find all of this episode's strips on Instagram by clicking here.

We're zeroing in on the Tiger Sharks, the true reason for the existence of The Comic Strip, but first, yea, we must pass through the valley of the shadow of Karate Kat. Could Karate Kat actually be the worst segment of the Comic Strip? With Mini Monsters and Street Frogs, it's got some stiff competition. Also, he's lean, he's mean, a karate machine!
