WTF?
Amy Hoggart spent much of the last two US Presidencies starring on 'Full Frontal with Samatha Bee' - but as you'll hear she's not thrilled at the result of the US Election this week... despite it's obvious potential for satire.
We won't lie... this isn't the most 'positive' episode we've ever recorded.
Never mind - the campaign to Make Earth Great Again begins here...

Ah... the smell of Polling Day in the morning.
As the (for now) United States of America go to the polls this episode is (mostly) dedicated to discussion of Harris vs Trump with Isaac-Davy Aronson supervising producer at US news network MSNBC and co-presenter of the excellent podcast Déjà News alongside Rachel Maddow.
But it's not all stars & stripes... oh no. This episode contains a mini-history lesson on Britain's biggest loser (insert your own cheap Liz Truss gag here) Guy Fawkes.
It's the most explosive episode of Trash Talk yet.
Until the one about the emerging US Civil War later in the week.

Richard Bacon has spent most of the past decade living in the USA dreaming up TV formats like Jimmy Carr's 'I Literally Just Told You...' so it's a real thrill that he's our first guest of in this week of American Election specials.
By the way - he's not just on because he once lived in the US - he's also been on an intimate* walk in the woods with President Barack Obama.
Away from politics Richard also chats about AI, kids' TV, social media, and gives some feedback on some pun-heavy TV show ideas. Plus listen out for a very special announcement about the campaign to bring back CEEFAX.
Finally Count Binface does what the Washington Post won't do - endorses a candidate for the Presidency. Listen to the full episode to find out who*
*It turns out it wasn't as intimate as we thought...
**It's Kamala.

The Bindependence Day UK Comedy Tour is over... so it's back to weekly podcasts!
Thank goodness - because it's been the Budget this week, and there is a lot to discuss.
Plus there's an exceptional guest this episode - it's Sunday Times (and Bette Midler endorsed) satirical cartoonist Nick Newman. As well as creating funny drawings Nick is a comedy writer behind many TV and stage shows, including a new play opening in 2025 with Ian Hislop called The Autobiography of a Cad WHICH IS NOT ABOUT BORIS JOHNSON.
If you want to find out more about Pont - the cartoonist that Nick recommends you all look up - then check out his feed on X...
As ever - your support is hugely appreciated - so please leave a review, follow this podcast and say some nice things to your friends. It all helps.
Finally - in the next few episodes we will inevitably turn our focus on the USA as they decide whether to elect Kamala Harris or that other [CENSORED CONTENT] Donald Trump. Do the right thing America. Make your vote COUNT.

Have you seen Count Binface on his UK Comedy Tour?
If you haven't then we have some good news - it's not finished yet, AND this episode was recorded backstage at one of his London dates.
Mitch Benn pops by for a chat, and there's a big announcement regarding one of Count Binface's most popular manifesto pledges... in fact it's officially Jess Phillips' favourite (She says so in her book!)

This week Ceefax celebrated its Golden Anniversary (if you don't count the fact that it got binned a dozen or so years ago).
Reintroducing Ceefax has always been a key manifesto pledge - so we've dedicated this episode to its birthday. Please feel free to share your favourite pages (340 for cricket) on social media or in the comments for this podcast.
We'll be back with another interview pod next week.
In the meantime - why not send a link for the pod to a friend, especially if you're friends with Sir Kier Starmer. Tell him it's free - that should get him interested.

By her own admission, Miranda Sawyer doesn't remember much about the 90s, but thankfully for us it was her job to write stuff down - so she's written a wonderful book called Uncommon People: Britpop and Beyond in 20 Songs about the decade which is suddenly back in vogue, and indeed back in Vogue.
On this episode Miranda tells us all about the gatekeepers who changed 90s culture, why music is better than film and which Blue song is a bit sh*t.
Watch out for a SECOND episode of Trash Talk this week as we celebrate 50 years of Ceefax, the most un-hackable, un-trollable, and un-Muskable of all the digital platforms. Happy Birthday Ceefax.

We're back - after a recharging week off, the podcast is back with EPISODE 20 and what an episode for you this week as Professor Alice Roberts helps write a new manifesto point (mandatory roller-skating for doctors) we big up open-access science, and discuss the possibility that ancient humans were just taking the piss.

Fresh from her run at the Edinburgh Festival comedian and actress Ria Lina gives Count Binface the lowdown on which deadly viruses we should be most afraid of, why she doesn't like whips and who could win the US Election for Kamala Harris.

The second part of our 'state of journalism' deep dive - this week with The Daily Mirror columnist Susie Boniface aka the Fleet Street Fox.
On the agenda for this episode; Elon Musk (as ever), who's fit (and proper) enough to own the media, anonymity and the future of print journalism.
Also - fair warning - this episode contains more swearing than the first 17 episodes combined. Make of that what you will.
As ever please feel free to follow this podcast, rate it, or leave a review. You can also recommend it to friends, make your own posters, or stand in the street with a megaphone and tell strangers about it. You do you.

For 18 years Matthew Wright hosted a daily news and discussion show called The Wright Stuff so he knows a thing or two about the media and the changing shape of British politics. It's a fascinating conversation covering the recent UK riots, the concept of truth, tabloid journalism, and of course... the internet.

Welcome to the Gold Medal winning* podcast 'Trash Talk... with Count Binface'
In this episode we're talking borders. As the poet Robert Frost once wrote; good fences make good neighbours, and as Tony Hatch (and his wife Jackie) wrote; everybody needs good neighbours, Neighbours should be there for one another, that's when good neighbours become good friends.
Our guest this week is neither Robert Frost nor Tony Hatch. It is in fact author Jonn Elledge who's written this book all about some of the most bizarre borders and border disputes in history.
He's the perfect guest to speak to during the global quest for dominance that is the Paris Olympics and at a time of heightened border tensions around the globe.
Still reading? Good - you're dedicated - perhaps dedicated enough to review this podcast, give it some stars (say... five?), and hit 'follow' to ensure you get the latest episodes as they're released? Yes... we thought so. A true Count Binister.

This week Stewart Lee is on the pod.
Twice voted 'Funniest Comedian' on Sigma XI Stewart is torn on whether he wants Donald Trump to win the US Election (for a very selfish reason!), and has some excellent advice for anyone (say, a bin-headed count from off-world) who might be heading on their debut comedy tour.
This really is a great episode - it's so good that if you haven't yet, this is probably the one that would make you hit 'follow' so you get a new episode every week.
Enjoy!

Welcome back Count Binisters.
Doesn't the election seem like a long time ago?
Missing it? Well don't worry - we'll be here each week with a new episode, and there are plenty of other elections to look forward to / stand in.
In this episode Iain Lee asks some tough questions, reminisces about 'The 11 O'Clock Show', and reveals who he voted for... in 1992.
Don't forget to say lovely things about the podcast, preferably out loud, or even better in review form.

It's time for Number 10.
No no. Count Binface isn't moving into Downing Street just yet. This is episode number 10 of Trash Talk, and this is the first of three DAILY episodes as we enter the trilogy of the last day of campaigning, polling and results.
In this episode the esteemed editor of Private Eye Ian Hislop discusses his favourite whoopsies from the past six weeks and looks ahead to covering a (potential*) Labour Government.
Enjoy the episode - and remember to MAKE YOUR VOTE COUNT!
*Sir Kier would like us to remind you that currently no votes have been cast. Unless you count postal votes. If you've managed to get one.

It's Election week!
Old Binface has been all over the 'mainstream media', from a profile in The Guardian to the expert analysis of Radio 4's More or Less. More (or less) on that in the pod.
This episode is dedicated to the arts...from an appearance at the Glastonbury Festival to a brilliant interview with comedian turned musician Nitin Sawhney.
We hope you're enjoying the podcast so far... and if you don't live in the glorious constituency of Richmond & Northallerton then I'm afraid you can't vote for Count Binface in this General Election... but you CAN follow this podcast and give a 5-star rating. It's almost as good as a vote.
