| 20190404 | A brand new open-door topical show from the mind of broadcaster, producer and audio-fiddler JON HOLMES of Listen Against and The Now Show - with digital consultancy and audio support from the Technical Director of the relaunched Radiophonic Workshop. It's also a radio comedy access point for a new generation of satirists who don't write sketches, jokes and one liners, but instead channel their talents into playing around with sound. Sketch-writing has long been the way into radio comedy but, for the new generation of satirists who don't put pen to paper and instead beaver away on laptops using self-taught skills to toy with the news-scape, The Skewer, with it's guerrilla approach to satire, is their new playground - bringing diverse voices together with soundscaping from a gardener, a call-centre worker and a supermarket delivery driver. The sounds of The Skewer have been designed to be enhanced through headphones, attaching you to a late night drip of current events as they melt into your brain, evoking that feeling of drifting off but with the occasional uncomfortable sleep-twitch, as though you've accidentally stepped off a kerb. Freeform, dreamlike, curious, scathing, The Skewer is the home of the new news jokers. Late-night thought-provoking comedy from JON HOLMES. | ||||

| 02 | 01 | 20200917 | JON HOLMES returns with the 'dizzying, dazzling' satirical river of sound. Topical satire like you've never heard before. The Skewer dances with the newsscape to unsettle and intoxicate. Series 1 won a Gold Award at the New York Festival, a British Podcast Award and a comedy award at the Audio Production Awards. Creator JON HOLMES combines award winning audio production and sound design with brand new audio talent to produce something quite unlike anything else. The show has an open door policy - anyone can contribute. The extraordinary Skewer is back to twist itself into these extraordinary times. Reviews of The Skewer's first series: 'An immersive, otherworldly river of sound. A freeform assault on the senses constituting a ludic yet deeply haunting collection of juicy quotes and well-placed soundbites from recent global bulletins, juxtaposed to form an eerily beautiful, discombobulating mosaic of political spin.' 'Holmes takes the newsscape as his playground, juggling countless noises and titbits from topical Brexit coverage to create a jarring, unsettling work specifically designed to be experienced immersively via headphones. A mind-boggling collage of extracts, interviews, and fragments of speech, it satirically defamiliarised the (all too) familiar, critiquing the Machiavellian nature of yah-boo politics.' ‘Cleverest thing on radio by at least 8 distances'. ‘The boldest thing iI've heard on BBC Radio in years. A masterful piece of radio. Brilliant. ‘An audio rollercoaster. Magnificent. Give this all of the awards. ‘Mind-bogglingly brilliant and distressing. Intelligent, catchy and powerful. ‘I'd be quite happy to stop listening to the news and just listen to The Skewer. ‘Wonderful. It's been a while since something was this engaging and listenable from start to finish. ‘Simply brilliant. Please listen to it. It's the most incredible satire of current affairs I've ever heard. ‘Nightmarish. But – oh my God - in a good way. ‘Audio news drugs to medicate the strange world we live in. ‘There is just nothing like this out there. Brilliant songs, cutting edge satire. Compelling and you have to listen more than once. Evocative. Intoxicating. Incredibly original. Listen and listen again – you always hear something new.
