🎙️ Mildly Informed is the comedy podcast where Absolute Radio's Richie Firth and The Bugle's Chris Skinner review absolutely anything—from current events and TV to food, everyday annoyances and life's bigger questions—so you can leave... mildly informed.

Think of it as the conversations you'd have after a couple of pints—except someone's remembered to press record.
