Show Notes
With the UK in political and economic turmoil, it seemed perfect timing to have comedian Matt Forde - host of the brilliant podcast The Political Party - join Brian on the show. We discuss Tory Party madness; the prospects of Sir Keir Starmer and his opposition Labour Party; Tony Blair; Nottingham Forest returning to the Premier League; Brian Clough's man-management skills; favourite gigs; and there's a new political quiz, 'Subs Bench to Front Bench'.
Music by Liam McClair and Crowander
