We're Here to Listen (with Stewart Lee in Laugharne)

About this episode

Armando Iannucci discusses political soundbites with comedian Stewart Lee in Laugharne.

Armando is joined by Stewart Lee at the Millennium Hall in Laugharne. Taking the audience's most loathed political soundbites, we discuss 'existential threats', 'let me be clear', and 'we're working very hard'. We also hear about Armando's train driver getting caught in an infinity loop, treating Nicky Wire with the greatest of respect, and whether feeling in your bones or gut indicates your political persuasion.
