The spring series grinds on — and I do mean grinds — with friend of the pod, satirist Mark Humphries.

In this episode we do talk about the thing that happened last week — the Trump thing — but we also talk about edible underwear, North Korean soldiers, British comedians Ben Elton, Rik Mayall, and Steve Coogan, whether straight people can do camp, and pixellated genitals.
