Podcasts about Have I Got News for You

On this week's episode, Peter has finally worked out how to defend the realm (so you might sleep safely in your beds), and Sarah is asking why do some authority figures often go after the wrong people, and leave the real criminals alone? And the pair pore over our mailbag to consider Britain's place in two world wars, the valuer of spoiling a ballot paper. What happened when Peter appeared the panel of Have I Got News For You (clue: it changed political history)? How he might go about robbing a bank (unsuccessfully). And to decimalise or not? And what that may or may not have meant to the Roman army.

The singer-songwriter Jessie Ware's new album, Superbloom, was released this week. As well as being known for her music, Jessie's family's passion for food led to the weekly podcast, Table Manners, that she co-hosts with her mother Lennie, featuring celebrity guests like Ed Sheeran and Kylie. Jessie joins Datshiane Navanayagam to talk about her new album, inspired by disco and funk and how she became more confident in her 40s.We hear about a new report alleging breaches of the Online Safety Act. Children as young as 13 could be recommended sexually explicit content on the social media platform X, according to the Centre for Countering Digital Hate, who say X's algorithm and what it describes as "weak safeguards" mean teenagers are also being exposed to possible direct sexual contact from adults. Imran Ahmed, CEO at the Centre for Countering Digital Hate joins Datshiane to explain.For the first time, a woman has been appointed to coach a men's team in one of Europe's top five football leagues. Marie-Louise Eta has been named interim Head Coach of Union Berlin in the German Bundesliga, the equivalent of the Premier League here. It's a sudden appointment, until the end of the season, and it follows a string of losses and the dismissal of the previous coach. We talk to Rosi Webb, previously one of the few female coaches in charge of a men's team in England for five years, alongside Laura McAllister, former international footballer and Vice President of UEFA.Figures show there are close to one million people diagnosed with dementia in the UK, of which two thirds are women.

It made her not only take a long hard look at her life, but it also inspired her latest show, Best Behaviour. Susie joins Nuala McGovern to discuss making comedy gold out of life's trials and tribulations.Presenter: Datshiane Navanayagam Producer: Simon Richardson

A renewed Women's Health Strategy for England has been published today. The first Women's Health Strategy came out in July 2022 under the Conservative government, with this ‘refresh' being put forward as a ‘chance to travel further and faster'. However with over half a million women still waiting for gynaecological care in England and many women saying they don't feel listened to, why has there been so little progress? Nuala McGovern discusses the renewed strategy with the Health Secretary Wes Streeting. Author Elizabeth Arnott talks to Nuala about her novel, The Secret Lives of Murderers' Wives, which investigates the impact of violent crime, not only on its victims, but also on the people closest to the criminals. The story follows Beverley, Elsie and Margot, who all discovered they were married to serial killers too late to save the women they murdered. Set in 1960s California, in an era where the understanding of the “serial killer” phenomenon was in its infancy, these women find themselves in a unique position to dig into the psychology of their husbands and band together, using their knowledge of dangerous men, to track down other violent predators. Scottish comedian Susie McCabe is a stalwart of the BBC comedy scene - from The News Quiz and Breaking the News, to Just a Minute and Have I Got News For You. It was in 2024, while touring, that she had a heart-attack – she was only in her mid-forties at the time.

On the stage, she is a co-founder of Austentatious – a Jane Austen themed improv comedy show in the West End.  Her debut novel, Introducing Mrs Collins, is a tale of love, loss, and second chances, for anyone who's wondered if there's more to the sensible character we met in Pride and Prejudice.

This week, Katherine's Telling Everybody Everything about how lovely it was to be back hosting Have I Got News For You on the beloved BBC. How foolish she was to think that it would be calm and uneventful, as feathers were ruffled by the use of 'the C-word'. But hasn't the meaning changed? Is it not fine to say? Oh... Violet nearly gets in trouble as she fancies her self the Mayfair Ja Rule and throws a HUGE halloween party. Katherine remembers she's in a Christmas film. Diplo shares that he was romantically with BOTH Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau. Also, your letters on passive-aggressive baby helpers and being unsure about how to move forward with an unplanned pregnancy. x Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On the Insurance Coffee House podcast, host Nick Hoadley welcomes Nick Wealthall, Founder of Yellow Door, a leadership and commercial growth consultancy helping insurance organisations and their people unlock performance through better communication, decision-making and mindset.Speaking from London, Nick shares his fascinating career journey from wealth management to professional poker, to comedy writing on shows like Have I Got News For You, before founding Yellow Door to coach senior executives across major insurance firms. With a background spanning finance, broadcasting, and entrepreneurship, Nick brings a unique perspective on how professionals can think and act more like business owners, whether they're brokers, underwriters, or corporate leaders.He explains how lessons from the poker table translate directly to leadership and underwriting: making confident decisions with incomplete information, assessing risk and reward, and maintaining composure under pressure. Drawing parallels between poker, business and insurance, Nick highlights why the most effective leaders are those who embrace uncertainty, make active choices, and refine their process rather than fixating on short-term outcomes.Nick also discusses how brokers and carriers can drive commercial growth and differentiation in increasingly commoditised markets, by deepening client understanding, taking an “outside-in” perspective, and focusing on delivering long-term value rather than transactional wins. He shares practical insights on building trust-based client relationships, fostering entrepreneurial thinking inside large organisations, and leading with intention and self-awareness.In the Espresso Round, Nick reflects on his journey from performer to coach, offering lessons on humility, resilience and curiosity. He encourages insurance professionals to take ownership of their impact, ask “how can I help more?”, and build businesses that grow through genuine human connection.Connect with Nick Wealthall on LinkedIn and learn more about Yellow Door.The Insurance Coffee House Podcast is brought to you by Insurance Search.We are a global Insurance Executive Search Consultancy, supporting Insurance and Insurtech businesses to attract and retain the very best insurance talent.Find out more about showcasing your employer brand as a guest on the Insurance Coffee House Podcast or sign up to our News and Insights.Or follow us on LinkedIn, Twitter or Instagram.Insurance Executive Search Consultants in USA, London and Bermuda.Copyright Insurance Search 2025 - All Rights Reserved.

Ignacio Lopez: A Comedian's Guide to Buying the Perfect Mattress

Special Guest: Ria Lina CheapShow is dabbling in a “little bit of politics” this week when Paul and Eli are joined by special guest, Ria Lina! In a new “Gannon's Golden Games” segment, Paul pulls out a board game based on the topical comedy panel show “Have I Got News For You!”, so luckily the politics and news stories only go up to 2005. Who wins will be anyone's guess! There is also the added bonus that Ria has appeared on HIGNFY herself, so will her experience help her in an off the cuff board game version of the 34 year old TV show? The answer is probably not. Elsewhere in the episode, Ria must take the rites of passage that all first time guests must endure… a classic Price of Shite with Gannon going all out on the tat. How will she fare? Will Eli go easy on the first timer? Can Paul ever be trusted ever again?

Roy lives in New York now, where he often appears on late night talk shows, but he built his career in the South. He studied broadcast journalism at Florida A&M in Tallahassee and worked as morning news reporter in Birmingham, but his true passion was going out on the road for weekend gigs at comedy clubs around the region. Sid talks to Roy about why his mom is the funniest person in his family, his brief obsession with the Popeyes chicken sandwich, and how his Southernness informs his comedy.
