Karl Deeter is a very familiar face and voice on our TVs and radios – consistently invited on to shows because he's what you might call a ‘dream guest’: highly intelligent and eloquent, and, crucially, he is not afraid to hold and express an opinion that may be slightly unpopular or controversial. But our conversation on this episode is a very different one – yes, we touch on a couple of the big issues like the housing crisis and US politics, but mostly we get deep and personal, talking all about Karl’s Tourette’s syndrome and the impact that it has on his life, why he loves controversial comedians, and his frustration with arguments between the extreme left and right. Karl also gets some interesting phonecalls from people that want to chat with him, including George Hook, Matt Cooper and Miriam O’Callaghan!Exclusive comedy : it's all about going back to school this week, and my podcast colleagues are all talking about it. Check out what David McWilliams, Tommy & Hector, and Blindboy have to say about this very special time of year.
