Jonathan Pie.

[Salty seadog]

I'm sure many of you are aware of his work, sweary Westminster correspondent created and played by Tom Walker.

Well he's now got a podcast out on BBC Sounds, 'Call Jonathan Pie', including all the swearing and more.
If you remember 'Down the line' a spoof phone in show on radio 4 from a few years ago, think of that on sweary steroids.

Give it a go. It's both joyous and shocking when you think it's a BBC R4 product. Not that you'll be hearing on R4 mind, just the podcast.

Should be fun 👍🏼 'Down the line' was often toe curlingly good, and Jonathan pie seldom fails to hit the spot.

Like a lot of people the first time I heard down the line it took me a few minutes to realise it was a spoof.

Because it's very much based on reality of how some people are.??

One of the R4 Today programme presenters sounds very much like "Gary Bellamy", I'm always half waiting for an interview to descend down a similarly gammony rabbit hole .

[Gray Bellamy sound-alike] Yes, it's definitely him! I've been too scared to comment on the similarity, given the racial differences. Luckily NACA is such a forgiving place, I should be fine. x

Down The Line was great. "What is point?"

Nothing to be scared of, we're talking about vocal similarities not ethnic differences. Even then, no need to be scared.

On the Today programme, you don't have to wait long.

Tbh I struggle to listen very many mornings in a row..
Or else I end up being the one getting all frothy-reactionary

"Why do you bunch of wet lettuce, so called 'journalists' allow your interviewees to get away with such paltry 'answers' on important matters ?!?!?!"

👿

One big problem, and this goes to the article posted earlier about the Tories becoming a reclusive cult (if I got that right), which came out a couple of months ago, it's that they just don't put themselves up for the BBC, especially the today program. Who are they putting themselves up to for a good grilling?

Honesty, transparency, accountability.

My unwashed arse.

It's because even 'they' know they're a bunch of disfunctional, conniving, spineless no hopers, with zero integrity, ideas, or intelligence.

Fundamentally incapable of justifying, or explaining their craven excuse of a 'government'.

Imho 🙄
