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

What The F*** Is Going On...? With Mark Steel Episode 51

Mark is joined by Willie Dowling (the musical genius responsible for the stings in the podcast) and Elliot Steel as he tries to make sense of Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng's mini-budget, and asks the question that's on everyone's lips – What The F*** Is Going On?!
Plus, Fred Trueman shares his thoughts on the collapse of the pound - and a woman that Mark overheard in a cafe is most distraught about the effect of the economic crisis on her daughter Nectarine.

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?!
