Comedian campaigner and much more Mark Thomas has launched a new weekly podcast, entitled The Things About Us, in which he explores Britishness, identity and, knowing what Thomas is like, a considerable number of other things.

 

"In the future, everyone will have 15 minutes of podcast*…and now it’s this idiots turn."

 

In Things About Us Thomas takes a gander at identity and British Exceptionalism in his inimitable style of wondering out loud and proclaiming. In this series of 6 (to be released each Monday) Mark looks at everything from The British Museum to the Chagos Islands and ask who the bloody hell do we think we are? How does it match to reality? And what are we going to do with the gap between the two?

It’s free.

 

*May last longer than 15 minutes.
