    Bean Soup

    Will is back! And he's bored of the attention that people are getting for living in the extremes of opinion. He's been away doing some things he can't talk about, while thinking about bean soup, dead friends, and how we can all make a little difference to the world by realising that it's not all about us. Oh, and here is a video of a bean soup recipe: https://tinyurl.com/436caywb Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Waiting on the World to Change.

    He's back! And he's been thinking about stuff. In the first episode of a new season, Will talks about stupidity. He considers the best way to gain a following and build an audience, and whether it's really worth it to lean to one side or be controversial for the sake of it. How do we get from the place we are at now, to the place that we really want to be? And why are smart people are so annoyingly stupid? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Comedy = Tragedy + Time

Who are the guardians of morality? When is the right time to discuss tough subjects? How can we use comedy to make a serious point? And why is there not a wanky writers' association? Hosted on Acast.
