About this episode

Alastair Campbell joins Count Binface for a conversation about politics and podcasting.

At last - the intergalactic meeting they've all been asking for! One of Earth's top podcasters Alastair Campbell in conversation with Sigma IX's pre-eminent (and only) podcaster Count Binface. After months of negotiations the chat tête-à-bin finally took place in Alaska and by the end of their meeting world peace had been restored, democracy was saved and Burnley had won the Champions' League. No... none of that happened - except the conversation - that DID happen. Alastair was in France and Count Binface was hovering above Croydon (planning something big) and they spoke about the enormous success of The Rest is Politics, the need to disagree agreeably and Kier Starmer's first year in office. But most importantly of all Alastair applied his political playbook to the Count Binface campaign... Frost & Nixon, Parkinson & Hull, and now Campbell & Binface. Get a load of this! Hosted on Acast.
