Description

Cost of living crisis, government scandals – are they the sort of things people want to laugh at? At Edinburgh Fringe, some shows are steering away from satire – apparently unconvinced it is what audiences want. After the BBC cancelled Mock The Week too, is there still a place for topical comedy and satire? On the Sky News Daily podcast, our arts & entertainment editor Amy Hitchcock is joined by comedians Nish Kumar, Rosie Holt and Sarah Southern, along with our entertainment reporter Jayson Mansaray.Senior podcast producer: Annie Joyce Interviews producer: Madeleine Drury Podcast promotions producer: David Chipakupaku Editor: Paul Stanworth
