Show Notes

The US Presidential Election explained for Brits. This time: The Biden-Trump TV debates are on at last. Will America’s most hotly-anticipated showdown deliver useful argument (fat chance) or a new low in WWE politics? Plus: Trump team tries to paint prosecution witness Michael Cohen as a liar, Steve Bannon might be going to jail (yay) and Farage says the Don has offered him a job (what?).

And special guest Ben Collins, CEO of the original satirical news site The Onion, on why comedy is the real powerhouse of opposition in American politics. With Chris Jones and Nikki McCann Ramírez of Rolling Stone
