Download Episode 2. How unhealthy is Michael Fry? The answer will shock you

Farcical parody of a magazine radio show with absurd guests, debates and live music.
The new owners of Ulster FM have arrived. As Swedish technology giant Sauron Tech begins auditing the station, Michael Fry tries to convince himself that corporate oversight, data harvesting and efficiency targets are all excellent news.
Elsewhere, Northern Ireland's most decorated astronaut explains why space travel is overrated, Michael accidentally re-traumatises a listener during the show's daily apology segment, Spooky Cathy uses suspiciously unorthodox tarot cards to answer everyday questions, and sustainability chef Susan Sautée shares her passion for cooking roadkill.
Meanwhile, a company health assessment reveals alarming truths about Michael's physical condition, though not alarming enough to inspire meaningful lifestyle changes.

Written by Michael Fry, Sean Burke, Ciara Knight, Eleanor Morton, Carl Kinsella and Mick McCullagh.
Performed by Michael Fry, Sean Burke, Ciara Knight and Ruby Campbell.
Producer: Marc McElroy
Executive Editor: Andy Martin
