The Balance

BBC Radio 4 Extra - Comedy Club Extra, The Balance, Episode 2

Jake Yapp, Jessica Fostekew and Jon Holmes tackle the issues via angry, unfounded debate.

Jake Yapp, Jessica Fostekew and Jon Holmes tackle society's difficult issues and generally make the situation much worse via the medium of unfounded and unreasonable debate.

In today’s 360-degree media world outlandish opinions gain more digital traction than measured tones, and it seems we have lost the art of respectful, nuanced debate. So, here on BBC Radio 4 Extra, we thought we’d have a go at that, as it looks like it’s really easy and cheap, and loads of fun. We’ll be taking some of the most difficult issues we face as a society today, and, rather than trying to find common ground over them and some kind of sense of reconciliation, it’s going to end in bloodied noses and tearful recriminations. Immoderated by the morally reprehensible Jake Yapp, the issues are grappled with by the comedian and feminist (not necessarily in that order), Jessica Fostekew and the comedian and contrarian (definitely not in that order), Jon Holmes.
