Hysterical. In a good way.

Laugh outloud lefty news satire. I can’t get enough. Wish they wouldn’t use the cu__ word so much (I know it’s British but it’s still so sexist) but otherwise love it.

Chris: Zaltzman@Steel&@BillMaher

Dear Chris,

I’ve listened to every episode in the archive—most twice. When are you going to book Zaltzman on Mark Steel’s podcast. & as the Scottish 2nd referendum approaches next year, when are you going to book him (& take Steel & Kumar with him) to “Real Time with BIll Maher.” Those casting producers can only be contacted by someone like me through twitter (which I don’t use). But they are accepting virtual interviews all the time now since Covid. They did John Oliver this year from NYC to LA. It’s past time that the best British satirist meet the best US satirist. You can try to get Fraser on there too, but I fear that she’s too smart for the US audience (think the rural parts of Australia).

Thanks,
Lit Crit PhD (Dr. R)

Always awesome

Andy Zaltzman is the smartest funniest guy with the gentlest heart. Great guests every week with wonderful exchanges between them.
