    9. Kate Moss; Poetry; Murdoch and Succession; Dick Van Dyke and Coldplay

    Ian Martin and David Quantick tear caustic lumps out of each other and the week's news stories - They're joined this week by novelist and screenwriter, Jenny Colgan. This week Ian takes aim at the 'poetry' that's become ubiquitous on railways station whiteboards, Jenny brings up Dick Van Dyke and Coldplay and David gets cross about nearly everything. It really is a sweaty hoot from soup to nuts. If you're reading this and enjoy the podcast please give us a rating and review if your pod provider allows that kind of thing.
