I think a lot of people would love to see and listen to that talk if it were made available!

The only other one I know of is The Daily Mash

Hello, Richard. I adore NewsThump. It is one of the funniest things on the internet and one of about 5 websites that I don't block adverts on. So, thanks.

My question is, do you think comedy (particularly satire and parody like NewsThump) can have any useful effect on politics and people's opinions? Or would you agree with what Jesse Armstrong said the other day, that "comedy is not good for anything, really. Apart from being one of the only things that makes life worth living".
