NonCensored is a weekly news-focused parody podcast created by Rosie Holt and Brendan Murphy, produced by Ed Morrish.[1].

Concept

[edit]

NonCensored is a parody of conservative talk shows such as Piers Morgan Uncensored, political pundits like Julia Hartley-Brewer and the output of the British right-wing press and broadcasters such as Talk TV and GB News[2].

The podcast is hosted by the fictional right-wing pundit Harriet Langlet-Swindon (played by Rosie Holt) and her centerist brother-in-law Producer Martin (played by Brendan Murphy)[3].

Each episode covers the main news stories of the week while featuring a rolling cast of guest comedians who appear as a variety of fictional commentators and celebrity guests, alongside regular contributor Eshaan Akbar's Hot and Spicy Take of the Week[4]. Regular guest comedians include: Joz Norris, Sooz Kempner, Will Sebag-Montifiore, Davina Bentley, Marcus Brigstocke, Susan Harrison, Oliver Izod, Luke Kempner and Lewis MacLeod.

The show has often featured long-form interviews with real celebrities[5]. Guests have included: James O'Brien, Stewart Lee, David Baddiel, Rachel Parris, Owen Jones, Iain Dale, Mark Steel and Sanjeev Bhaskar[6].

Reception

[edit]

The show has been met with positive reviews for its humour, creativity, and the variety of guest comedians featured each week. The Guardian described the show as a "glorious satirical podcast"[7] and The Observer called it "weirdly real, yet relentlessly silly"[8]

Accolades

[edit]

The show was nominated for The Comedy Award at the Radio Academy’s Audio and Radio Industry Awards (formerly The Sony Radio Awards)[9].
