BBC Radio 4 - The Naked Week

The Skewer's Jon Holmes and host Andrew Hunter Murray send a new news-nude to your ears

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

The sixth of our satirical specials this summer. From The Skewer’s Jon Holmes 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.  

Host Andrew Hunter Murray (No Such Thing As A Fish, QI Elf, Private Eye) will strip away the curtain and dive into not only the big stories, but also at the way in which the news is packaged and presented.

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