Introduction

This week we are doing something very slightly different. In the first half of today's episode we are going to be talking a little bit about the news with a panel consisting of the magazine's editor Ian Hislop and two of the writers Adam McQueen and Helen Lewis. We thought it would be fun to talk about how the news might have changed, what stories we got right,. What stories might have moved on in interesting and unexpected ways since the last issue had been published. And I was quite pleased he wrote about his epic The Weight Loss Drug which is essentially titled, an answer to my critics. So I was always connoisseur, boring sort of like my revenge.
