All about comedy, horror, kid stories, euphemisms, music of many kinds. Anti-hate in all its anti-humanity forms
Hooray to see Adam Buxton on House of Games, surely one step closer to the Taskmaster participation we demand

Lovesick is excellent & glad to see it on this list

Give all the awards, including the Nobel ones, and money, to the continuation of “unserious” entertainment that we need

@iainlee.com on a “YouTube vault shuffle getting ready in the morning” listen, there’s a NYD 2018 ep where your boys were in the studio, one wanted to ask if ppl had seen a ghost, then got scared. It’s adorable, hope you/they hear it back all these years on. My older teens love reminiscing like that

Something of the modern Odyssey about uni kids homecoming & then re-trek where they HAVE to respect your wisdom if they’re going to fit presents into same luggage & manage a replacement bus home. I’ve gained candles & bath bombs

I really enjoy this program - great every week but this episode is particularly good - funny, insightful.

A funny brilliant show. Thank you @mredbyrne.bsky.social for doing it & streaming it for us to privately enjoy many moments we laugh +/cos you said THOSE things, not us. Left me thinking about your family & my own after. About mine: playlists - keep contact, & add an inappropriate song each smite

“When you’ve stopped pulling your foreskin back” is my particular fave host line of the run so far. Using it in meetings
The Phone in Show with Iain Lee is my new pod. A caller based show recorded on TikTok is not for the faint of heart. Derek and Clive meets BBC Five Live. Available on all podcast platforms

One of the funniest task attempts on #Taskmaster ever and that’s a high bar - Reece and Maisie guessing a name in the lab

The Noel Clarke case is a good reminder that investigative journalism done well changes opinion & rumour into facts to get the right outcome, even when the consequences are saddening

Having a shitty week & the YT algorithm fed me old Iain Lee radio content - so funny, cured a mood funk, in an important silly way akin to the mental health service Taskmaster performs

@iainlee.com the “a very drunk and sweary man” video just popped up on my YouTube, and what a thing! It’s really delicate, the skill of both you & Katherine. My kids would call it “standing on business”

Cannot wait for #Taskmaster with Reece - and love this interview

There is no room for quite complicated tax mistakes. There is only space for capitalistic deliberate tax/NI avoidance & evasion, unchallenged racism and genocide. Got it

David Byrne rules. Ashamedly late to him & Talking Heads greatness, grateful to my youngest daughter bringing me in a few years back. Catch him now on many podcasts (esp Adam Buxton)

Endlessly moving kids between uni rooms each year, single parenthood grips me. Not just the endless £, the sole responsibility for being a cart, a sensible workhorse

dear God, the #24HoursInPoliceCustody on this appalling, horrifying predator was grim, but massive kudos to the brave young women who came forward and helped convict him. Hope more of his victims come forward and lock him up for the rest of his days www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Hopes TV show about Peterborough rapist will identify more victims
