Trash Talk... with Count Binface

Stewart Lee

Season 1, Ep. 15

This week Stewart Lee is on the pod.


Twice voted 'Funniest Comedian' on Sigma XI Stewart is torn on whether he wants Donald Trump to win the US Election (for a very selfish reason!), and has some excellent advice for anyone (say, a bin-headed count from off-world) who might be heading on their debut comedy tour.


This really is a great episode - it's so good that if you haven't yet, this is probably the one that would make you hit 'follow' so you get a new episode every week.


Enjoy!

  • 37. Jemma Forte

    34:14||Season 1, Ep. 37
    On this week's podcast is political commentator and co-host of The Trawl podcast Jemma Forte. Jemma recently worked with the political campaigners Led By Donkeys to take down Elon Musk on the side of one of his Tesla factories... that kind of heroism will definitely get you a spot on Trash Talk! Mind you Jemma's also been the captain of her own space ship The Sub Zero... but you'll have to listen to the podcast if you want that sentence to make any sense. If you're reading this then your thumb is only inches away from the 'Follow' button and the 'Review' button - it'd be almost as good as a vote if you could click on both. CB
  • 36. SUPER BOWL SPECIAL with Iron Mike Carlson

    34:38||Season 1, Ep. 36
    Happy Super Bowl weekend to those who celebrate (which is a LOT of you). Super Bowl LIX is expected to be watched by almost 200m humans (plus a visiting space warrior and Elon Musk). What makes it so popular? Is there anything to learn from its impressive marketing? Politics isn't afraid to borrow a bit of popular culture from time to time... so can we expect to see Kendrick Lamar rapping about democracy at next year's Labour Party Conference... or let's be realistic... Lemar. (American listeners feel free to Google 'Lemar' or 'democracy')Sharing everything he knows about the Super Bowl is legendary American journalist Iron Mike Carlson. He shares why the Super Bowl became the top day in the US sporting calendar, what the players really think about the Half Time Show and pitches a new adults-only version of Ceefax. And THAT'S why this is the greatest podcast on your planet. Go Eagles / Go Chiefs (note to producer - delete one of these on Monday)
  • 35. Dr Joelle Grogan

    25:27||Season 1, Ep. 35
    Dr Joelle Grogan is a legal academic, and an expert in the rule of law, working in the fields of EU and UK public law. She's also the presenter of BBC Radio 4's The Law Show. At a time when the Rule of Law seems to have become more of a Gentle Suggestion of Law, when the leader of the free world is a convicted felon, we thought it was a good idea to get the biggest legal brain we know on the podcast to chat about everything legal. If intense serious legal discussion isn't your thing - don't worry the next episode is a Superbowl preview. Don't say we don't offer variety here!
  • 34. 'Trump: The Sequel' with Isaac Davy-Aronson

    31:30||Season 1, Ep. 34
    Well... here we go again. President Trump - we salute you (not like Elon does) - you're President again. So to discuss what 'Trump: The Sequel' will look like we've invited Isaac Davy-Aaronson back to the podcast. As a supervising producer at US news network MSNBC and co-presenter of the excellent Déjà News pod he's seeing the political fallout of a second Trumpian America first-hand. It really does seem that Trump sees everyone in very simple terms - you are either a Faithful, or a Traitor. Where's Claudia Winkleman when you need her?Enjoy!

    Merry Christmas Earthlings! To celebrate your special day here's our gift to you - a bonus edition of Trash Talk.

Enjoy this episode, have a great Christmas, and we'll be back with more Trash Talk in the New Year.
  • 31. Climate Comedian Matt Winning

    27:50||Season 1, Ep. 31
    Please note that this episode will self-destruct some time around 2090... along with the rest of humanity. As COP moves on having once again failed to reverse the climate catastrophe playing out in front of us we speak to Matt Winning a climate scientist who delivers his environmental message through comedy. The perfect guest for this podcast. Is this our Christmas special? Maybe. If it is, then what better message for humankind than the need to unite behind one common goal... saving your planet.
  • 30. BAKE OFF SPECIAL with GIUSEPPE DELL'ANNO

    22:28||Season 1, Ep. 30
    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.
  • 29. Wendy Chamberlain MP

    35:12||Season 1, Ep. 29
    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.
