It's been 10 years since the UK voted to leave the European Union — a decision with major political implications that most of the country regrets. Since then, neither the Labour Party nor the Conservative Party have been able to keep a leader in power. Prime Minister Keir Starmer resigned his post – becoming the sixth prime minister to quit in the last ten years. For comparison's sake, the UK had just two prime ministers between 1990 and 2007. So what's going on in the UK — and who's up next for prime minister? To find out, we spoke to Nish Kumar, co-host of Crooked Media's Pod Save the UK.And in headlines, the US and Iran make conflicting claims over whether or not Iran is welcoming U.N. inspections of its nuclear sites, the Pentagon asks the Senate for roughly $80 billion to help pay for the Iran war, and no one wants to name their babies Donald. I wonder why!Show Notes: Check out Pod Save The UK – www.youtube.com/@PodSavetheUK Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Plus, Belgium's draw with Iran, which features one of the most spiritually onside goals of the tournament so far, Curaçao's first point, Egypt's first win, Germany, Japan and a few big picture thoughts (33:07).Come and see us live in London on July 23rd, with Nish Kumar at the Southbank Centre!

Johnny Mac covers Daily Comedy News, leading with a long Conan O'Brien clip joking that he's “suing Harvard” over various student grievances while riffing on the administration's claims about foreign students. He explains CBS' late-night deal with Byron Allen: Allen pays $15 million a year to lease the 11:30 slot and sell ads himself, meaning CBS profits even if ratings are low; the first night drew 878,000 viewers, and CBS cites a shift from losing about $40 million annually to $15 million profit. Patton Oswalt tells Vice his new special Tea and Scotch argues AI can't replicate lived perspective and chose a small Madison venue; it premieres on YouTube June 9. Tom Segura partners with Fox Creator Studios on multiple projects.

Musa and Ryan begin with a quick mention of Arne Slot's Liverpool departure, which will take the focus on Thursday's show before getting onto the men's Champions League final (04:04), which saw PSG retain the trophy after their penalty shootout win in Budapest.There's chat about Arsenal's impressive start, how PSG struggled to create too many clear looks and the narrow margins that played out for the rest of the two hours of normal and extra-time. There's a load of praise for Luis Enrique, plus multiple players on both teams.Ryan was one of the many hundreds of thousands at the parade in London on Sunday, so there's a bit on that (38:20), how it was exactly what Arsenal needed following the disappointment of Saturday's result and the joy that was on show. Finally, there's a shoutout for Manchester City's women doing the domestic double (48:53), José Mourinho returning to Real Madrid and James Milner retiring.Check out Musa's interview with Zohran Mamdani for GQ here.

What a week it's been for the Prime Minister. In the aftermath of seismic local elections results, there's been non-stop Labour party in-fighting. Wes Streeting has resigned as Health Secretary so the race for Labour leader is seemingly on - who will throw their hat in the ring? Will Andy Burnham, i.e. the King of the North, make his move? In other news, the panel discuss Trump's state visit to China and why the Royal Navy has to redesign women's uniforms over 'inappropriately placed' buttons.Helping Andy make sense of it all this week is Nish Kumar, Ian Smith, Katy Balls and Mhairi Black.Written by Andy Zaltzman.With additional material by: Alex Kealy, Ruth Husko and Claire Rammelkamp Producer: Georgia Keating Executive Producer: Richard Morris Production Coordinator: Asha Osborne-Grinter Sound Editor: Marc Willcox Recorded by David ThomasA BBC Studios Production for Radio 4.

Tommy and Ben dig into a week dominated by ominous signs of regime change, nuclear standoffs, and a “historic” summit that left almost everyone disappointed.First they cover the signs pointing to American intervention in Cuba, including reports of Cuban drones, a possible indictment of 94-year-old Raúl Castro, a visit by CIA director John Ratcliffe, and a full blockade that has left the island in a state of humanitarian catastrophe. Then they look to Bolivia, where supporters of former President Evo Morales have blockaded roads and clashes with police are escalating. When it comes to the war in Iran, the global economy remains paralyzed by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, while Trump vacillates on whether to restart the war or engage in real talks. The guys also recap Trump's China trip, which turned out to be a dud by almost every measure — no trade deal, no help on Iran, and some deeply alarming comments about Taiwan. And finally, Tommy and Ben are subjected to the sounds of Eurovision. Then Tommy is joined by Pod Save the UK host Nish Kumar to discuss the fate of Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the Labour Party, and the troubling rise of the right-wing Reform UK party.

It felt like a weekend of broken hearts all around football, but Musa and Ryan begin with Manchester City's win over Chelsea in the FA Cup final (02:12), to secure a domestic cup double and Pep Guardiola's 20th trophy as City boss.Chelsea were quick to counter the disappointment, as it was announced that Xabi Alonso will take over as manager in the summer (12:39) and that's where the bulk of today's show is focussed.There's enough time to chat about Celtic's late win over Hearts (31:34), to secure their 14th title in 15 years in dramatic fashion, as well as a few other shoutouts.Also, Musa did a new piece for the Kickback Soccer newsletter, which you can read here, and tickets for our July live show, with Nish Kumar at the Southbank Centre, are available here.For more podcasts, ad-free and in full, plus access to the Stadio Social Club and much more, you can become a Stadio member by signing up at patreon.com/stadio.

We've brought on our friend and long-suffering literary correspondent Nish Kumar to discuss Matthew Goodwin's new book that he wrote using AI while cribbing a stupid meme from the Joe Rogan Experience: “suicidal empathy.” The hits are all there, but Goodwin can't bring himself to go full Camp of the Saints, and instead just pads his word count with the help of computer and winds up writing white grievance Fanon instead.

Welsh-Iranian comedian, writer and rising theatre menace Leila Navabi joins Outcast World for one of the funniest and weirdly moving chats we've had in ages. You'll probably know Leila already from writing on Bad Education, Never Mind the Buzzcocks and Deep Fake Neighbour Wars, or from voicing Claire in Don't Hug Me I'm Scared. She's also become a major name on the UK live comedy circuit, supporting comics including Nish Kumar and Jessica Fostekew while quietly building a reputation as one of the sharpest queer comedy voices working right now. But this episode is really about the project that might push her into another league entirely: turning her real-life queer DIY conception story into a musical. After being told in her twenties that having children might not be possible, Leila and her wife ended up rejecting the expensive, sanitised “acceptable” version of queer parenthood and instead built a family the way queer people often build everything: through friendship, improvisation, emotional honesty and an alarming amount of admin involving sperm. This episode dives into the now-infamous DIY conception setup that inspired her show Relay: spare rooms, a sperm donor who was already one of their closest friends, syringes quietly bought from Boots under the pretence of “having a big dog”, and the deeply surreal ritual of everybody washing their hands and heading out for brunch afterwards while pretending this was a perfectly ordinary Sunday activity. At one point, Leila describes sitting in a café fully aware that her partner is technically “dripping with your best mate's sperm” while everyone politely orders eggs and coffee. Which honestly tells you almost everything you need to know about the energy of this episode. Underneath all the chaos though, this is really a conversation about modern queer family life, chosen family, emotional honesty and why comedy so often becomes armour for people trying to survive complicated lives in public. There are also cats named after Joan Rivers, emotionally repressed gay people using humour to avoid vulnerability, and a genuinely fascinating discussion about why queer family stories are still treated as niche when they're often far more emotionally intentional than traditional family structures.

Johnny Mac delivers daily comedy news, leading with John Mulaney's Night of Too Many Stars set featuring sobriety jokes and an extended impression of RFK Jr., while a report calls out Matt Rife for homophobic material. The benefit also included a celebrity band, The Very White Stripes (Conan O'Brien, Jon Stewart, Jimmy Kimmel, and Abby Romeo), plus appearances by Bill Burr, Steve Carell, Nikki Glaser, Tiffany Haddish, Sarah Silverman, Ali Wong, and others. Mac notes little coverage of Dave Chappelle's Netflix Is a Joke shows, and mentions Pete Davidson taping his Netflix show with Mulaney. He previews Josh Johnson's HBO special (May 22) and Dan Soder's first Netflix special taping (June 13). He critiques the Kevin Hart roast's lack of star power, recaps Katt Williams, Tony Hinchcliffe, The Rock, and Chelsea Handler–Shane Gillis moments, and adds quick items on Nish Kumar, Ricky Gervais' animated Alley Cats (Aug 7), and Bill Bailey praising King Charles' wit. 00:16 Mulaney Does RFK Jr02:41 Night of Too Many Stars Recap03:44 Chappelle Shows Missing03:56 Pete Davidson Show Tape04:08 New Specials and Taping05:13 Roast Star Power Debate06:00 Katt Williams Roast Set06:55 Roast Jokes and Feud08:05 Tony and Pete Controversy08:58 Chelsea and Shane Clash10:01 More Comedy Headlines10:53 Wrap Up and Sign OffBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac-a-daily-briefing-on-comedians-and-the-comedy-industry--4522158/support.Daily Comedy News is the number one comedy news podcast, delivering daily coverage of standup comedy, late night television, comedy specials, tours, and the business of comedy.COMEDY SURVIVOR in the facebook group.Contact John at John@thesharkdeck dot com For Uninterrupted Listening, use the Apple Podcast App and click the banner that says Uninterrupted Listening.  $4.99/month John's Substack about media is free.This is the animal sanctuary mentioned in the February 10 episode.

A fairly quiet Sunday then, with nothing too eventful happening in the Premier League.Musa and Ryan begin with a quick chat about Arsenal's 1-0 win over West Ham (03:52) at the London Stadium, which had a big impact at the top and bottom of the table. Yes, they also chat about that decision, but probably less than it's been discussed elsewhere.They then head onto the main topic, which is Barcelona's 2-0 win in the Clásico (16:20), to secure a successive La Liga title and to make a very difficult Real Madrid week even worse. They praise the job Hansi Flick has done at Barça, as well as the players who have brought the club out of one of the most chaotic periods of its recent history. There's also a bit about what on earth is going on at Real Madrid.Finally, Venezia won Serie B this weekend (50:21), thanks to a 2-0 win over Palermo on Friday. Ryan was there, as well as at the incredible title parade on the Grand Canal on Saturday, so there's some chat about one of the most unique spectacles in European football.Don't forget to check out kickbacksoccer.com and tickets for our July live show, with Nish Kumar at the Southbank Centre, are available here.For more podcasts, ad-free and in full, plus access to the Stadio Social Club and much more, you can become a Stadio member by signing up at patreon.com/stadio.

After shout outs for the WSL, PSG v Marseille and a few other results (04:21), Musa and Ryan head to Anfield (11:23), which saw another unbelievable free-kick from Dominik Szoboszlai give Liverpool the lead, a great comeback and the world being cruelly robbed of one of the silliest goals of the modern era.That meant the gap was the same at the top as before the weekend, following Arsenal's impressive 3-0 win over Sunderland on Saturday (30:52). Elsewhere, Aston Villa dropped more points, Manchester United may never lose again, Crystal Palace ended their winless streak and Cole Palmer scored another first half hat-trick.In Germany, Bayern and Dortmund teased a title race (48:13) and St. Pauli got a much needed win.

Recorded live in Brisbane, Australia, this week's Bugle sees Andy Zaltzman joined on stage by Nish Kumar and Alice Fraser for a high-energy international tour of scandal, chaos, and cinematic derangement.

Greg Jenner is joined in early modern India by historian Dr Jagjeet Lally and comedian Nish Kumar to learn all about the subcontinent's dynamic 18th century.From the 16th century, the dominant power in India was the Mughal Empire. According to the traditional narrative, when the Mughals began to decline in the 18th century, the subcontinent descended into political chaos, and European trading powers – most notably the British East India Company – swooped in to take advantage and (in their words) restore order. But can we trust this story?In this episode, we look at India's long 18th century not as a period of chaos, but one of dynamic transformation and exciting developments. Taking in the rise of new powers including the Marathas, the Rajputs and the Sikh Empire, and looking at changes in the economy, global trade, artistic patronage and gender relations, we explore what India was really like at this time.This is a radio edit of the original podcast episode.
