Oddly, for someone who so consistently insists that he is Serious, the podcast is consigned to the “comedy” category. Moreover (a word I am allowed to use in this case because of the truly Serious nature of the categorization) the podcast is also labeled “clean,” even though it includes an excerpt from his unpublished erotic novel, which includes such smutty content such as, “”I like sex,” she said.” The accent and tone of voice is everything one could hope to hear from a Serious British Journalist. If you can only listen to one podcast—well, listen to someone who is the top person in your chosen profession; or listen to your mother’s podcast if she has one, and simply read Daniel Piper on Substack. But if you listen to dozens of podcasts, then this should be one of them.
