I agree, I wasn’t sure when I heard the first episode but it has, very quickly, grown on me. I love the Haiku and the running joke about witches! There is an energy in it being recorded live that is fun.
I did love The Now Show but it was time for something new.

Will check it out pascal. I loved dead ringers too.

Oh thankyou Mogsmaw.. I used to love Dead Ringers and didn't think this show was as good but now like it more.. especially their inspired Haiku bit.. (having been on Haiku courses myself)

I love it, it’s the “Friday night comedy” on radio 4 so it’s repeated on Saturday lunchtime.
Find it on the sounds app.

A lunch time thing ? Sounded more of a late night thing pascal.
R4?

I have missed naked week is that 11 pm slot?
I don’t like the skewer and not keen on the two men talking in bunk beds.

It was at 12.30 on Radio 4 today SL48

i enjoy it when I hear it (like today and the Rachel Reeves song) but I do not listen regularly.

I listen to it but its not really my humour. The other Jon Holmes programme (The Skewer) I didn't like at all.

Sorry I don't like it.
Tried it a bit when it started but it's just not my thing.
Find it forced and trying too hard to be clever.

and The Rachel Reeves song...

Does anyone listen to The Naked Week? I found todays episode particularly amusing.. particularly with the new Angela Raynor piece. Also love the News in Haikus
