Trash Talk... with Count Binface

It's back! Series TWO of Trash Talk returns after a few months off... much like a Birmingham bin collection. There are some HUGE names lined up for this new series - as Count Binface continues his quest to interview some fascinating humans in his quest to learn about humans... so he can conquer Earth. Today it's best-selling author Sir Ian Rankin. Ian is our first Knight of the Realm on the podcast - so please show him some respect by listening right to the very end of the episode. Anything else is technically treason. Some housekeeping - you might like to see the video of Ian's band 'Best Picture' - it's here [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAIvsuLqVfo] PLEASE leave us a review, and subscribe so that future episodes land directly into your podcast player.

What do Donald Trump and Postman Pat have in common? Well Pat has grabbed Jess the cat a few times and Donald... well we won't finish that. What they REALLY have in common is they're both performed excellently by our guest - impressionist Lewis MacLeod. British listeners may know Lewis from his work on the BBC comedy Dead Ringers where he plays the voice of not just Donald Trump but also Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage. Imagine having to get inside those three characters! That's why Lewis is the perfect person to speak to about understanding your Earth leaders. If that's not enough he's also been in a Star Wars movie and you will not guess where George Lucas took him for lunch. Enjoy the 40th episode of Trash Talk... ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.

Are long-form news interviews dead? Not on my watch! Who better to feature on our first long interview than an esteemed journalist who has held world leaders to account and fronted the UK's premier investigative journalism programme (at the time!). He certainly knows a thing or two about an interview. In our chat we cover the state of news, what next for the BBC, who the f**k is watching GB News and I appoint Gavin to seat 001 in the House of Losers. Watch out Peers of the Realm... we're coming for you. PLEASE... could you leave a review, give us a rating and follow this podcast. I won't be able to conquer you planet without it. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.

On this week's podcast is political commentator and co-host of The Trawl podcast Jemma Forte. Jemma recently worked with the political campaigners Led By Donkeys to take down Elon Musk on the side of one of his Tesla factories... that kind of heroism will definitely get you a spot on Trash Talk! Mind you Jemma's also been the captain of her own space ship The Sub Zero... but you'll have to listen to the podcast if you want that sentence to make any sense. If you're reading this then your thumb is only inches away from the 'Follow' button and the 'Review' button - it'd be almost as good as a vote if you could click on both.
