Trash Talk... with Count Binface

Did you know Count Binface has a croissant policy? No? Well who better to discuss it with than Bake Off winner Giuseppe Dell'Anno. Yes - we've got on a well-timed band-wagon - but that's politics for you. Until there's a space for Binface on the This Morning couch this is what you're getting. Anyway, enjoy the podcast - maybe even grab a cup of tea and a piece of cake for this one. Go on spoil yourself.

Let it be known - of the 650 MPs in the current UK Parliament, Wendy Chamberlain was the first to say yes to an interview. The Member of Parliament for North East Fife, and Liberal Democrat Chief Whip joined us to discuss the Lib Dem election strategy, Trump, Kemi and of course... croissants. Only 649 MPs left on our list. If you're an MP reading this then get in touch - you know where.

WTF?Amy Hoggart spent much of the last two US Presidencies starring on 'Full Frontal with Samatha Bee' - but as you'll hear she's not thrilled at the result of the US Election this week... despite it's obvious potential for satire. We won't lie... this isn't the most 'positive' episode we've ever recorded. Never mind - the campaign to Make Earth Great Again begins here...

Ah... the smell of Polling Day in the morning. As the (for now) United States of America go to the polls this episode is (mostly) dedicated to discussion of Harris vs Trump with Isaac-Davy Aronson supervising producer at US news network MSNBC and co-presenter of the excellent podcast Déjà News alongside Rachel Maddow.But it's not all stars & stripes... oh no. This episode contains a mini-history lesson on Britain's biggest loser (insert your own cheap Liz Truss gag here) Guy Fawkes. It's the most explosive episode of Trash Talk yet. Until the one about the emerging US Civil War later in the week.

Richard Bacon has spent most of the past decade living in the USA dreaming up TV formats like Jimmy Carr's 'I Literally Just Told You...' so it's a real thrill that he's our first guest of in this week of American Election specials. By the way - he's not just on because he once lived in the US - he's also been on an intimate* walk in the woods with President Barack Obama. Away from politics Richard also chats about AI, kids' TV, social media, and gives some feedback on some pun-heavy TV show ideas. Plus listen out for a very special announcement about the campaign to bring back CEEFAX. Finally Count Binface does what the Washington Post won't do - endorses a candidate for the Presidency. Listen to the full episode to find out who**It turns out it wasn't as intimate as we thought... **It's Kamala.

The Bindependence Day UK Comedy Tour is over... so it's back to weekly podcasts! Thank goodness - because it's been the Budget this week, and there is a lot to discuss. Plus there's an exceptional guest this episode - it's Sunday Times (and Bette Midler endorsed) satirical cartoonist Nick Newman. As well as creating funny drawings Nick is a comedy writer behind many TV and stage shows, including a new play opening in 2025 with Ian Hislop called The Autobiography of a Cad WHICH IS NOT ABOUT BORIS JOHNSON. If you want to find out more about Pont - the cartoonist that Nick recommends you all look up - then check out his feed on X... As ever - your support is hugely appreciated - so please leave a review, follow this podcast and say some nice things to your friends. It all helps. Finally - in the next few episodes we will inevitably turn our focus on the USA as they decide whether to elect Kamala Harris or that other [CENSORED CONTENT] Donald Trump. Do the right thing America. Make your vote COUNT.
