Alison Spittle and Fern Brady’s hugely entertaining new show sees them tackle any topic they like. Plus, an amusingly personal take on how generative AI will affect the future of employment
“It’s clear that the theme of this podcast is us trying to talk about a topic and getting immediately sidetracked.” So say comedians Alison Spittle and Fern Brady about their new show. It’s a hugely entertaining ramble through subjects including Lily Allen’s “breakup album for narcissists” West End Girl, sex (“there’s more frigid people in England than Ireland”) and the length of pig orgasms (up to 90 minutes!). Lots of fun. Alexi Duggins

The Economist’s Andrew Bartleby launches a series focusing on how generative AI will affect the future of employment. It’s a personable, amusing take on an unnerving topic, specifically in its first episode on whether it will replace humans – so he writes a column, gets an AI programme to do the same and asks his colleagues if they can tell which is which.
