Keir Starmer's conference speech is getting heaps of praise after he finally went hard against Farage. But has he done enough to show he's in control, or is the Labour messaging still all over the place? Plus, the Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, isn't going away. He says he wants the UK to rejoin the EU, but do they want us? And does Labour even want him!? And in the Extra Bit for Patreon backers, the panel takes a look at the politicians who are the most popular with the UK's young people right now, according to the polls, anyway.

Matt, Luke and Dawn are back to celebrate the return of the best British drama series, Slow Horses as well as Jack Thorne's take on the hacking scandal in the form of ITV's The Hack.

In this episode of the Who's He? Podcast..... Review - Dead Media This week, Phil and Scott turn their attention to a 12th Doctor Short Trip story from Big FInish, Dead Media.

Old audio formats feature heavily in this story (it's a cassette is it?), which might frighten younger listeners. But our reviewing duo drift away and talk about no Doctor Who on the telly, despite Phil's best efforts not to.

Anita Rani was joined by Kat Kitto who has two daughters, one of whom has mitochondrial disease, and Louise Hyslop, consultant embryologist at the Newcastle Fertility Centre to discuss.A new report by London's Victims' Commissioner, Claire Waxman, says that victims are being forced to quit the criminal justice system in huge numbers amid record court delays and traumatic process.

Today, we discuss the findings of a BBC report which found that the documentary Gaza: How To Survive a Warzone had breached editorial guidelines.The BBC previously pulled the documentary from iPlayer after it was uncovered that the 13-year-old narrator was the son of a Hamas official.

Hoyo Films said it took the reviews findings "extremely seriously" and said it "apologises for the mistake that resulted in a breach of the editorial guidelines".Another report looking into BBC show MasterChef has found that 45 allegations against presenter Gregg Wallace have been upheld. Wallace said in response that some of his humour and language "missed the mark", but added: "I never set out to harm or humiliate. I always tried to bring warmth and support to MasterChef, on screen and off."

Today, we look at the reaction from politicians, Glastonbury, and the BBC to comments from Bob Vylan, a duo that performed at the music festival on Saturday.Rapper Bobby Vylan led chants of "death, death to the IDF [Israel Defense Forces]".A BBC spokesperson said: “Some of the comments made during Bob Vylan's set were deeply offensive. During this live stream on iPlayer, which reflected what was happening on stage, a warning was issued on screen about the very strong and discriminatory language. We have no plans to make the performance available on demand.”The Israeli Embassy posted on X that it was "deeply disturbed by the inflammatory and hateful rhetoric".The festival said in a statement: “Glastonbury Festival does not condone hate speech or incitement to violence of any kind from its performers."We also hear from Health Secretary Wes Streeting on the issue, and on the upcoming welfare vote in the House of Commons.Faisal Islam joins to talk about the economic consequences of the government's U-turn.You can now listen to Newscast on a smart speaker.

W/C 9th June 2025Now you know I like a good sitcom, and you also know that I rate Not Going Out very highly and certainly worthy of special mention.Well the new series landed last night, and the BBC dropped all six episodes which resulted in us watching the first four. I am pleased to report that it is a strong as ever, but the reason I mention it is because the second episode called Doll is really very clever.I am not quite sure how you begin to put together a narrative like that, the whole thing is a little uncomfortable (and certainly quite unnerving) but it hard not to be swept along in the subtext.If you can get the iPlayer, you might want to give it a go.Stay safe.God Only Knows - BBC (Various)Sloop John B - Brian Wilson & Alan JardineStairway to Heaven - Ann Wilson, Nancy Wilson, Jason Bonham, et alTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity. It started out as a mechanism for me to clear my head, with the hope that by saying stuff out loud it would act as a little bit of self-help. It's remains loose in style, fluid in terms of content and raw - it's a one take, press record and see what happens, affair.If you want to keep in touch with TFM and the other stuff I do then please follow me on Facebook, Insta, Twitter or Patreon. Thanks for getting this far.
