This is PoliticsJOE's podcast - the only explicitly anti-nonce podcast in the UK.
Reporting on British politics with a sense of humour, the podcast is a recorded version of the conversations we have after work.
So pull up a stool, pour yourself a cold one, and laugh through the misery alongside us.
