Punorama Investigates is a podcast about politics, patriarchy and power – with the occasional pun. Join comedy writer & performer Annabel Edmonds as she investigates a topic that fascinates her – from prison reform to sexual harassment in stand-up comedy. Instead of the usual running commentary about everything going on in the news, Punorama Investigates does a weekly deep dive into a single topic. Punorama Investigates is a lot like ‘Last Week Tonight’ with John Oliver, except in half the time and with half a percent of the budget. Also John Oliver wasn’t available.
