Miles Jupp is set to front a new "no-holds-barred satire" coming every week to podcast platforms called The Moment With Miles Jupp.

Each episode will be under ten minutes long, providing the satirical equivalent of a juice shot – a concentrated burst of up-to-the-minute comedy that sums up where we are right now and dispels the blues of life in 2025. It’ll be written and recorded the day before it drops for maximum freshness and bite.

Says Miles, “Right now, it’s a very difficult climate for satire, what with the disappearance of most such shows from British television screens, and the problems experienced in the US by Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel, whosoever they may be. Clearly what is required right now is an entitled privately-educated man to blunder onto the airwaves, label various politicians complete bastards and then be abruptly detained by the security services.”

“We wanted to keep it tight, so we’re going for ten minute episodes. They say brevity is the soul of wit. Also, I spoke to a bloke at a garage and he said most of the repair work they do these days is for people who’ve veered off the road listening to The Rest Is History.”

“Really, it’s going to take in all the things I like about audio comedy, which is me reading out a list of rude jokes about men in grey suits, and none of the things I don’t like, which are the bits when anyone else is speaking.”

The Moment With Miles Jupp will be presented by Jupp and written by Jupp and James Kettle, head writer on Channel 4’s Late Night Lycett. It’s produced by Sara Morgan-Beckett and Michael Benwell for Pink Cloud Productions. 

Weekly from October 24.
