The Pretend Room | Mitchell and Webb

Currently Playing: Pretend Room #8: You Can't Criticise The Government | Mitchell and Webb

David Mitchell and Robert Webb return to the Pretend Room to talk through two sketches touching on climate anxiety, political panic, war, adaptation, and one bizarre idea involving politicians trying to solve climate change by stopping masturbation. Along the way, Robert admits he still doesn’t fully understand the logic of one sketch, while David digs into why climate messaging can fail when it ignores how much people actually enjoy the things causing emissions. #BigTalkStudios #MitchellandWebb #PretendRoom #comedypodcast Don't miss a video!

Expect wild tangents, unnecessary analysis, and the kind of commentary that’s only slightly more helpful than the show itself.
