Show Notes
Harriet Langley-Swindon and Producer Martin speak to Chinese government spokeswoman Blank Peng about how Sir Keir Starmer's trip is going; Skeletor explains why he's defected to Reform; and Deputy Diversity Correspondent Athena Kugblenu dives in with a Hot & Spicy Takeaway Of The Week about Hampstead Ponds.
Our Patreons will also get an interview with the woman behind TikTok's algorithm, Poppy Ticktock, which will never appear on the main feed. They will also get every episode early and without adverts, access to the full video of all our interviews, as well as this month's Patreon-exclusive Time For Questions podcast - so get over to Patreon.com/NonCensored and sign up for one or two pounds a week to support the show if you can. They are also making it possible for us to pay our guests because lord knows the ad revenue doesn't cover that.

More from NonCensored
Here's the last-ever NonCensored, recorded live in front of about ten thousand people at King's Place, as part of the London Podcast Festival 2026. Harriet, Producer Martin and Eshaan Akbar were joined by Susan Useless, from the Electoral Commission, who explains how she's investigating Reform and Donny Tammo from Patriot Platform, who explains how he keeps the women and girls in his community safe by leaving his community. We also hear Eshaan's final Hot & Spicy Takeaway Of The Week about the end of the world, and are joined by Nicola Witchell (and the spirit of Princess Diana) and Dr. Jordan "Always" B. Petersen to take questions from the audience.
