Hamza Yassin. Ian Hislop and Nick Newman and Bison Hip

Hamza Yassin and Kim Winston give the backstage gossip from Strictly. Ian Hislop and Nick Newman discuss their new play about Spike Milligan.

Strictly podcast host Kim Winston shares all the latest backstage action from the UK’s favourite dance competition and Scottish star Hamza Yassin joins for a chat. Ian Hislop and Nick Newman tell Janice about their absurdly funny play SPIKE, which delves into the inner workings of one of our most unique comedy minds, Spike Milligan. Scottish Blues-Rock outfit Bison Hip drop in to discuss becoming a band later in life and how their combined life experience contributes to great song writing. Plus we find out about IncludED, a new stage play by Mark McNicol which explores themes including the exclusion of pupils with learning disabilities in mainstream schools. And Janice announces our brand new Afternoon Show Single of the Week which comes from a fantastic Edinburgh based singer songwriter.
