Welcome to this week’s (slightly late) Weekly Sceptic podcast – episode 34!
Nick and Toby discuss Tucker Carlson’s departure from Fox and what may be the real story behind it.
The boys consider BuzzFeed’s demise and whether the ‘listicle’ will be missed or not.
Anheuser-Busch puts Alissa Heinerscheid ‘on leave’, prompting Toby to extol the advantages of being honest when you’ve been fired, whilst recalling how his impressive hacking skills cost him his job at the Times.
Toby and Nick discuss Diane Abbott’s peculiar letter to the Observer, and her laughable attempt at backtracking, despite the fact that many of her woke fellow travellers subscribe to the same bonkers intersectional orthodoxy.
Andrew Bridgen has been expelled from the Conservative party. Nick and Toby discuss why, and what the future may hold for him.
Dominic Raab has resigned under Kafkaesque circumstances. Is this just a hit job by the blob?
Comic titan Barry Humphries sadly passes away. Nick and Toby discuss the revolting hypocrisy of those lamenting his passing who had, only a few years ago, called for his cancellation.
This week’s sponsor is Thor Holt. You can connect with him here.
Dr. Will Jones and Nick go over the most interesting recent stories from the Daily Sceptic.
Jacob Rees-Mogg ‘debates’ Marina Purkiss on GB News, and the lads discuss whether she ‘owned’ Jacob, or whether she was simply unable to comprehend that someone may have a different opinion to her and the echo chamber in which she resides.
In this week’s Birdwatch, Nick discusses Elon trolling Stephen King and other celebs with blue ticks.
And the boys compete for the title of ‘Peak Woke’.

The opening monologue format was started on the Rush Limbaugh show. He did it decades ago. On radio of course, not TV, but the format translated straight to television.
