Unsafe Space: Radio 4 programme with Andrew Doyle

I am listening to this now and wondered if anyone else here was. It comes with a warning that it's deliberately provocative.

It's a comedy sketch programme about diversity of opinion and free speech.

I listened to this yesterday too. It's a modest nod to the massive elephant in the room but I found the production of it, specifically the editing too manic, skipping from one idea to the next in quick succession as if scared to focus too long on one issue - maybe they hoped their audience wouldn't have time to be offended if they made it so audibly frenetic and confusing?

It's a start.

Yes, I noticed that the producer was John Holmes who does The Skewer which has a slightly similar style. I enjoyed the irreverence though!

Indeed. But it's interesting, as Jon and Bill Dare, have very loooong careers in radio comedy, that they would choose the Skewer format to deal with a topic that isn't understood by anybody who gets their news from the, let's admit it, entirely biased and Stonewalled BBC.

I don't think I would have understood what I was listening to if I'd come into this topic uninformed - which I would guess is the majority of the BBC's audience these days thanks to their scandalous editorial choices (with notable exceptions) on this topic
