The Truth (In My Opinion)

'Two things you should know about the Budget' because it's not as radical as Andy Burnham would like us all to think and really, he's not that different at all. Plus could Tommy Robinson be locked up for 10 years? We can but dream! And please don't panic but Liz Truss has written a book. Here are the headlines discussed in this episode: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/...

Comedian Dan Tiernan is our correspondent this week. This was Cody's first time meeting Dan, his first time crying with laughter on the pod and the first time someone brought an Advertising Standards Authority update as a headline. Cody and Dan talked a lot about mental health, coping mechanisms and the power (or not depending on what side of the fence you’re on) of crystals. Go and see Dan li...

'Call me naive but I didn't think fridge freezers could be hacked' but boy oh boy have they been hacked! Frances supermarkets have fallen victim to their freezers being hacked and Cody thinks it's pretty scary... We also discuss the AI hot girls stealing standup sets, the AI pink panther stalking protests and Elon Musks flying car. Futuristic ep! Here are the headlines discussed in...

Author and broadcaster Natasha Devon is our correspondent this week. Cody endured another embarrassment moment asking a weekly news commentator with a show on news channel LBC whether she is a newsy person. Natasha’s headlines were however not embarrassing, covering everything from Meghan Markle’s £112 advent calendar to Kemi Badenoch’s avoidance of a potential coalition with Reform. Plus we’re ba...

'Could Sally Rooney join the Taliban?' because her support of proscribed terrorist group Palestine Action has led to her books no longer being available to buy in the UK. Because she is that dangerous! Plus a Reform politican wears AI glasses to deliver a perfect speech in the Senned and Stevie Wonder and Girls are back! Here are the headlines discussed in this episode: https://www.bbc.co....

Somehow international popstar Becky Hill came to Cody's house to record a special episode of The Truth (In My Opinion).

Many of you having been writing in with your questions about the far right party Reform UK. They still confound lots of us, particularly when it comes to understanding why family or friends might actually vote for them. In this episode, Cody fields SOME of the MANY questions we received about Nigel Fararsehole's merry band of arseholes. What do they actually stand for? Why are they allowed to...

Comedian Lou Sanders is our correspondant this week. She brought some a collection of fascinating stories and had, as Cody predicted only read the headlines, but turns out she knew more than she thought! From first edition To Kill A Mockingbird's being found in charity shops to cancer causing pesticides we really do cover it all. Plus an especially excellent headline for our subscribers, join...

'AI isn't dangerous, it's just shit!' is the statement spilling out of Cody's mouth this week as he believes he's stumbled on a new theory. We're not all in danger of AI taking over and killing us, it's simply a story made up by the big billionaire bosses who've made a rubbish product and are too scared to admit it. What do you all think? Commentmaxxers get invo...

Comedian Tadiwa Mahlunge is our correspondant this week. He prepared a pdf which was a podcast first and we really dig into his stories. This was the SUCH a good conversation and I urge you all to follow Tadiwa. He revealed a brand new take on why Palantir's involvement in our NHS is no good thing, plus more far right and billionaire madness. Plus an especially excellent headline for our subsc...

'The billionaires are even ruining their tax havens now!' Cody and Becky are discussing their biggest news stories of the week and there's dogs, billionaires (again, tiring we know!!) and conspiracy theory riddled pensioners who are damaging UK traffic lights. A pretty standard week. Lots of excellent comments from the commentmaxxers this week, keep them coming please. Here are the hea...

Comedian Jen Brister is our correspondent this week, brought to you from our live show at The London Podcast Festival. Her headlines covered the UK Government's ban on trade and services involving illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, Trump's mad commitment of 5,000 dollars to voters if the Republicans keep hold of the senate at the mid terms and the misindentification of the unde...

'Non-political Ed Sheeran got it wrong with Macklemore'. Cody and Becky are discussing the biggest news of the week which sees an unlikely trifecta of some of our biggest musicians. But how wrong did Ed Sheeran really get it? Answer - very wrong. Plus a story about a library book 116 years overdue and some dodgy Australian farmers freezing dead bodies. Here are the headlines discussed in this epis...

Comedian and satirist Tom Walker is our correspondent this week. He brings, in classic Jonathan Pie style, a righteous fury about Nigel Farage's apparent inability to listen to important conversations about accepting illegal money for his party, Reform. There are pills being popped but not the fun kind, as OAPs are finding their over prescription of over the counter drugs being responsible for sen...

'I do not give a s*** about Elon Musk!' Producer Becky's buttons get pushed this week as Cody wants to talk about how trauma might *possibly* have had something to do with Elon Musk being insane. WE KNOW! A new documentary looking into the life of Elon has been premiered at Venice Film Festival and we apparently learn that he is planning for a Civil War in America. Becky want's to talk again about...

Comedian Gianmarco Soresi is our correspondent this week bringing us some headlines from the USA! The brand new SILENT Fast & Furious ride at Universal Studios has proven to not be so silent, with thrillseekers bringing the noise as they ride and boy is it upsetting some neighbours. Cody and Gianmarco get into the landmark Meta settlement over the mental heath of children, that really won't ma...

'I do think this is a case of woke gone mad!' A commentmaxxer has struck gold with a headline about a Titanic themed slide being forced to change it's branding after people were furious at the idea of any fun being associated with the disaster. But what happened when they did ultimately change the name of their slide? Shock and horror, AI fraud detection might not always work! And which.co.uk...

Comedian Kiran Saggu is our correspondent this week bringing some incredibly important headlines. In a podcast first, we have a Vogue headline and it's a strong one. Was Love Island star Jasmine Gaziza Müller vilified for being a confident brown girl? We also discuss a rise in domestic violence directly linked to the World Cup in our second headline which might be triggering for some listeners, so...

'Donald Trump is selling Truth Social posts?!'  Yup, you read that right! Donald Trump is selling his 'market moving' Truth Social posts to anyone willing to pay the $100,000 price tag. Which as you can imagine has attracted some really ethical customers! Andy Burnham has announced 70,000 new social and affordable houses will be built in the next 10 years. But is this good enough when 1.3 mil...

Comedian Nish Kumar is our correspondent this week, with 3 very topical heaadlines in our FIRST EVER LIVE SHOW!!! We discuss establishment candidate Count Binface and the fallout from his by-election stand off with Nigel Farage. There's passionate conversation about Exeter University and the cuts they're making to humanities jobs. Plus do you know the unusual animal that could help avert future wi...

'Have the media learnt nothing?.' Last week professor Jason Arday was found dead after resigning from his post at Cambridge University. He'd been at the centre of a plagarism row which built into an unnecessary media pile on. Cody and Becky reflect on the media's role in this and their disbelief that it felt like a homogeneous, unnuanced response. And Darwin is right again, this time about ti...

Comedian Sarah Keyworth is our correspondent this week, with 3 sensationally stuuuupid headlines. There's news of a Bronze Age women being mistaken for a stout man, must we really insert men into every story? And a shop in Nantucket has come under fire from influencers after putting a 'no influencers' sign in their window, the influencers are VERY upset. And finally, Wesminister council is threate...

'Scrapping human rights is Reform UK's flagship policy.' With the imminent incoming result of the Clacton by-election, Cody outlines one of the main right wing hot policies of the moment - scrapping the Human Rights Act. Kissing is back, baby! And you should be doing it in public! According to a new study that suggests couples who kiss outside are more emotionally connected. Plus the protecti...

*Trigger warning* This episode includes conversation that mentions rape and sexual assault. Please skip headline 2 if this topic might be triggering. Presenter Harriet Rose is our correspondent this week, bringing the horrifying news of an adult doing an poo at a gig in New Zealand. She also discusses the nuance needed in consent and how media companies don't always have the interest of women's sa...

'I'd vote for anything if I was drunk!' It's a fair statement from Producer Becky but perhaps not one you'd want to be related to the issue of MPs voting on laws that affect real people. An investigation into the drinking culture of MPs whilst on the job leaves Cody and Becky wondering why the f*** MPs are allowed to drink on the bloody job if literally no one else is! We learn that Charli XCX's n...
