Episode 6

The week’s biggest stories like you’ve never heard them before. The news, remixed into a satirical river of sound. Jon Holmes presents the multi-award winning The Skewer. Headphones on.

This week - Freedom Day, Wacky Space Races, and William and Harry take on The Krays.

The multi-award winning, 'dizzying, dazzling, haunting and moving' satirical comedy returns to twist itself into these turbulent times.

With contributions from brand new and diverse audio talent, The Skewer is the sound the abyss makes as it stares back at you through your ears.

'A kind of concept album made of music and news. There's simply nothing else like it.'
