About this episode

The Naked Week team are back to place satirical news-tariffs on current events with a mix of correspondents, guests and, occasionally, live animals. This week we fail to wear a suit, dance around the problems with TikTok like no one's watching, and guest correspondent Rosie Holt radicalises some children.

From The Skewer’s Jon Holmes and host Andrew Hunter Murray comes The Naked Week, a fresh way of dressing the week’s news in the altogether and parading it around for everyone to laugh at.

With award-winning writers and a crack team of contemporary satirists - and recorded in front of a live audience - The Naked Week delivers a topical news-nude straight to your ears.

Written by: Jon Holmes Katie Sayer Gareth Ceredig Jason Hazeley Sarah Dempster

Investigations Team: Cat Neilan Louis Mian Freya Shaw Matt Brown

Guests: Rosie Holt, Dr Nussaibah Younis, Laura Windsor.

Production Team: Katie Sayer, Laura Grimshaw, Tony Churnside, Jerry Peal, Phoebe Butler.
