Trash Talk... with Count Binface

It's time for Number 10.

No no. Count Binface isn't moving into Downing Street just yet. This is episode number 10 of Trash Talk, and this is the first of three DAILY episodes as we enter the trilogy of the last day of campaigning, polling and results.

In this episode the esteemed editor of Private Eye Ian Hislop discusses his favourite whoopsies from the past six weeks and looks ahead to covering a (potential*) Labour Government.

Enjoy the episode - and remember to MAKE YOUR VOTE COUNT!

*Sir Kier would like us to remind you that currently no votes have been cast. Unless you count postal votes. If you've managed to get one.

Welcome to the Gold Medal winning* podcast 'Trash Talk... with Count Binface'

In this episode we're talking borders. As the poet Robert Frost once wrote; good fences make good neighbours, and as Tony Hatch (and his wife Jackie) wrote; everybody needs good neighbours, Neighbours should be there for one another, that's when good neighbours become good friends.

Our guest this week is neither Robert Frost nor Tony Hatch. It is in fact author Jonn Elledge who's written this book all about some of the most bizarre borders and border disputes in history.

He's the perfect guest to speak to during the global quest for dominance that is the Paris Olympics and at a time of heightened border tensions around the globe.

Still reading? Good - you're dedicated - perhaps dedicated enough to review this podcast, give it some stars (say... five?), and hit 'follow' to ensure you get the latest episodes as they're released? Yes... we thought so. A true Count Binister.

Maybe this will be the closest we come to getting a Conservative politician on the podcast - comedian Rosie Holt went viral during lockdown for her depictions of spoof MP Rosie Holt (we know it's confusing - just go with it). In this episode Rosie talks about the inspiration behind her character, and what might become of her on election night.

Plus, we've reduced the entire campaign to just two words. No, not those two.

By her own admission, Miranda Sawyer doesn't remember much about the 90s, but thankfully for us it was her job to write stuff down - so she's written a wonderful book called Uncommon People: Britpop and Beyond in 20 Songs about the decade which is suddenly back in vogue, and indeed back in Vogue.

On this episode Miranda tells us all about the gatekeepers who changed 90s culture, why music is better than film and which Blue song is a bit sh*t.

Watch out for a SECOND episode of Trash Talk this week as we celebrate 50 years of Ceefax, the most un-hackable, un-trollable, and un-Muskable of all the digital platforms. Happy Birthday Ceefax.
