| 10/14/26 | Handcuffed to a Zombie (with Tom Peck) | Armando is joined by sketchwriter for the Times, Tom Peck, to look at the language of the schism on the British rightFollowing on from party conference season, we discuss the escalating war of words between Badenoch and Jenrick, as well as 'the worst speech of all time' from Andrew Griffith.We also look at the language of the Green Party's 'zionism is racism' motion, and the wider reaction to it.Elsewhere, Armando recalls the moment he died inside, Tom pitches a new BBC property show, and they speculate on the late Queen's final diary entry.Got a strong message for Armando?

| 10/7/26 | Super Intelligence (with Stewart Lee and Carole Cadwalladr) | Armando is joined by Stewart Lee to look at the newly rebranded 'Super Intelligence'.To get into the linguistic weeds, they are also joined by founding member of The Nerve, Carole Cadwalladr.The tech bros are coming up with new terminology all over the shop, so we take a whistle stop tour through phrases that grind our gears. Rogue agents, warfighters and bootloaders all come under scrutiny.Elsewhere, we discuss Armando's visit to Jeffrey Archer's house, Burnham's short honeymoon and why Superman is a rubbish superhero.Got a strong message for Armando?

| 9/30/26 | Political Capital (with Pierre Novellie) | Armando is joined by comedian Pierre Novellie this week, and they’re going to have an honest conversation about political capital. Looking at some of the phrases and language being used around Burnham’s decision to spend his political capital, we look at some of the announcements trailed in the speech, and whether the politics of ‘saying’ now trumps the politics of ‘doing’.Elsewhere, Armando and Pierre work out the difference between a ‘legitimate concern’ and an ‘understandable concern’, examine Peter Thiel’s defense of evil, and find the most unfortunately named politician in the world.Got a strong message for Armando?

| 9/23/26 | We Care, We Fight! (with Stewart Lee) | Stewart Lee returns to the show after a summer judging dog shows with Charlotte Church.He and Armando look at the Lib Dem conference, and why the 'word cloud' is not Ed Davey's friend. They also have some helpful and serious suggestions for how Ed can improve his messaging, which I'm sure he'll take on board.Elsewhere, we look at how Trump's media ban might play out, and if the Democrats in the US have finally landed on a decent attack line on 'The Trump Crime Family'.Got a strong message for Armando?

| 9/16/26 | I Wasn't Even Listening (with Natalie Haynes) | Armando is back from a summer break to look at the use and abuse of political language.Joined by friend of the show, Natalie Haynes, they mournfully fell the Keir Starmer Metaphor tree, and find a suitable replacement for the Andy Burnham era.Elsewhere, they discuss the undercover operation on Reform, and the language of the fallout, 'perv glasses' and a corbyn-eqsue 'Strong Message Here' for the modern era.Got a strong message for Armando?
