Straight to the Comments!
4.8/5
Critic Rating
Ever notice how comment sections reveal more than the headlines? Lisa Williams and Sarah Illingworth dive into the internet’s most revealing threads, from the biggest celebrity scandals to niche online subcultures, exploring what our online reactions say about the culture we are living in right now. Each episode, they decode the psychological motivations and deeper media narratives of online comment culture, all with a good dose of 90s nostalgia and Gen X British humour. Shortlisted for Best Arts & Culture Podcast by the Independent Podcast Awards and an International Women’s Podcast Award.

"...the show lickety-splitted along with plenty of laughs and upbeat revelations."
Score: 5
Alexi Duggins • The Guardian • Feb 15, 2024
"In this daft, peppy dive into Daily Mail readers’ brainfarts, celebrity guests hear comments on news stories they’ve featured in – and then try to guess which story it relates to."
