Strong Message Here - It's All Signed (with Stewart Lee)

Download It's All Signed (with Stewart Lee)

Stewart Lee joins Armando to look at the detail, or lack thereof in the US and Iran deal.

What is a memorandum of understanding? Does the language of UFC apply to this deal? And are Shoreditch hipsters running Iran's social media campaign?

It's by-election day, and while broadcast rules prevent us from discussing the events in Makerfield, there's no rule to stop us discussing the broadcasting rules themselves. Outgoing Ofcom chair Michael Grade has been vocal about the state of broadcast journalism in the UK, so we take a close look at his recent language.

Elsewhere, we talk Ghibli Grandads, soiled underpants, and 'the Islington of the Mind'.
