Series 8, Episode 2 (26th October 2014)

Given that two of the biggest topics this week are the global threat of a fatal disease with no cure and a string of stories of sexual violence, it's surprising this is not the most gag-dense edition we've ever done. A compelling and informative discussion of Ebola, courtesy of Medecin sans Frontieres Ivan Gayton; Sameena Zehra offers some interesting activist strategies for a pacifist...; Barry Castagnola offers a profound philosophical rumination on situations where contracting Ebola virus might be attractive; and Chris Coltrane displays a surprising awareness of IKEA. Jonny Awsum supplies a calypso, and everything is held together expertly and elegantly by guest host Kevin Day. With fantastic monologues from Alistair Barrie and Nick Revell, who coincidentally also write these billing notes.
