About this episode

We interrogate how many milestones make a mission, look at how some MPs fund their offices and with all the Gregg Wallace unpleasantness we put a crisis management expert under pressure to give celebrities tips on how to apologise.

Host Andrew Hunter Murray, Chief Correspondent Amy Hoggart, The Skewer's Jon Holmes and The Naked Week team deliver a topical news-nude straight to your ears.

The Naked Week team strip away the curtain and dive into not only the big stories, but also the way in which the news is packaged and presented.

Guests this week: Jordan Greenaway Dr Beth Malory
