A podcast taking a light hearted approach to fact checking unbelievable news stories and memes being shared online. We tell you what's true, what's bull and we have a little fun along the way. And yes, we know, it is a stupid name. But then so is Tokyo Sexwale. So why not join the Secretary of State for Nonsense and the team as they step up and do the research you can't be bothered to do for yourself in the battle against the real fake news.

Irene Sendler / Extinction Rebellion / Super Mario Bros - with Tiernan Douieb

AKA: What is Batman's guilty pleasure? Shitting out a perfect Cumberland sausage.

This week Al is joined by comedian and podcaster Tiernan Douieb. The pair discuss the possibility of food being cheaper post-brexit (which turns into a discussion about battery bees), the story of Irene Sendler and how she lost a Nobel Peace Prize to Al Gore's "slide show on global warming", Extinction Rebellion's Diesel generator, making as much money as Jeff Bezos, Supreme Court judges EU stipends and the size of the Super Mario Bros cartridge.

Plus Tiernan takes on the Fact Check Quiz and tells Al about how he almost fell asleep at a gig.
