What The F*** Is Going On? with Mark Steel

What The F*** Is Going On? with Mark Steel – Ep 135

Mark is joined by columnist and political commentator Matthew Norman, along with Elliot Steel, as he tries to make sense of the Presidential soap opera unfolding in America; Labour suspensions over the two child benefit cap – and Elliot being asked to help a magician at the Edinburgh Festival.
 
Plus, broadcasting legend Mike Concrete interviews a sports fan who's off to Paris for the Olympics – and a woman who Mark overheard in a cafe is unhappy with the new Labour government.

From the rise and fall of Boris Johnson to Putin's 'special operation' in Ukraine; from the cost of living crisis to sending refugees to Rwanda; award winning comedian Mark Steel takes an exasperated and frankly baffled look at the state of the UK and the rest of the world. Joined by comedian (and son) 26-year-old Elliot Steel for the 'youth's' perspective, and a special guest each week, with occasional contributions from the likes of a deceased cricketer and a woman who's overheard in a cafe, Mark tries to answer that age old question: What The F*** Is Going On?!
