From the rise and fall of Boris Johnson to Putin's 'special operation' in Ukraine; from the cost of living crisis to sending refugees to Rwanda; award winning comedian Mark Steel takes an exasperated and frankly baffled look at the state of the UK and the rest of the world. Joined by comedian (and son) 26-year-old Elliot Steel for the 'youth's' perspective, and a special guest each week, with occasional contributions from the likes of a deceased cricketer and a woman who's overheard in a cafe, Mark tries to answer that age old question: What The F*** Is Going On?!

Customer Reviews
Makes me laugh like a drain
If you like Mark Steel you’ll like this podcast. Irreverent and silly in places and absolutely cutting in others. Excellent- thanks Mark and Elliot.
Father and Son
Both are funny, clever, and well informed! I look forward to this podcast each week 😁Special mention to whoever writes the jingles
One of the highlights of my week…
Always funny, and always pertinent… if you’re not living in the UK it will not make a lot of sense. If you are, it’s very sharp, and as something sharp should, it cuts deep, despite the black humour.
