Podcast appearances and mentions of Rachel Parris

This event was part of Critical Conversations, a new series on the age of misinformation by Intelligence Squared and Sage & Jester, hosted by Sophia Smith Galer. Sometimes the best way to expose a lie is to laugh at it. Satire is a force to be reckoned with in any democracy and artists are essential in shedding light on the truth. Comedy has long been a way to bring difficult conversations to the fore, and to challenge narratives. At Tricks, Trolls and LOLs, find out how humour and creative expression can serve as a counterbalance to misinformation; how satire can dismantle it, why authoritarian regimes fear comedians, and how art can be a powerful antidote to propaganda. In May 2025, we were joined by host Sophia Smith Galer and comedian Rachel Parris at the Pleasance Theatre in London for the first event in our our Critical Conversations series, in partnership with Sage & Jester.

We're back with season 6 and have a jam-packed episode for you to dive straight in to! Rhiannon's reading has taken a baby book and nursery rhyme themed nose dive, but she was rescued by the brilliance of John Boyne in his stunning novel The Heart's Invisible Furies. Alex was moved by the tender and tragic love story set against the brutality of World War II in Alice Winn's In Memoriam. We both get our teeth stuck in to the somewhat unanswerable questions we were left with, after watching Netflix's tour de force, Adolescence, as well as some lighter tangents featuring David Tennant, potatoes and of course, this week's Who'd a Thunk.

Although it's very common to see May to December romances in Tinsel Town, today's showbiz couple raised eyebrows in the gossip pages, when an older woman dared to court a man below her age bracket - but the world was a different place when Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher were stepping out, and now women have no prejudice against them for age, or looks and equal pay, so PHEW! The guest we have to thank for this EPIC tale of toxicity is the fantastic comedian, Olga Koch. As you can imagine, Grainne's deep dive unearths some jaw-dropping details and Chantel was cock-a-hoop at being able to get her teeth into it all.  But which party can be declared winner in this celebrity bun fight?

So what can she teach James about stepping outside his comfort zone?They talk about breaking the gender mould of the industry, the importance of thinking on your feet and why taking on a 20-minute set isn't as scary as James might think. And in discussing her remarkable comedy evolution, Rachel brings her earliest notebook to the studio for reflection. Does she have any regrets? Listen to find out…Follow James on Twitter @jameshaskell and Instagram @jameshaskell.

Rachel tells us about getting a little revenge on a former colleague who made sarcastic comments when she left her job to pursue comedy, explains why the childcare crisis in the UK is making things hard for working parents, and argues that 'don't feed the trolls' isn't always the correct response online.

She bore ten children and defended a castle, yet most of her life was spent clearing up her offsprings' mess. So just why is this badass queen's legacy eclipsed by that of her sons?
