Page 94: The Private Eye Podcast

The latest break in Peter Mandelson’s CV, the other secrets hiding in the Epstein files, and what comes next for the British government. With Ian Hislop, Helen Lewis, Adam MacQueen and Andrew Hunter Murray.

What is an 'Andy Burnham’ and can it be stopped? Why has Donald Trump made a photocopy of the UN and called it the Board of Peace? And was this episode description drafted by AI for an overworked journalist? (No, it wasn’t.) Ian, Helen, Adam and Andy explore these questions and more.

Why does the USA now have masked militias roaming its streets with almost no oversight? Why do some of the people who want to win London’s next Mayoral election seem to hate the city so much? And if Prince Harry texts you to recruit you for his next lawsuit, should you answer? Ian, Helen, Adam and Andy explore these questions and more.

It's the Eye Quiz of the last year! Adam, Helen and Andy get out the sleigh bells and the silly hats, and quiz each other on all the biggest, smallest and stupidest news stories of 2025.

Ian Hislop, Jan Ravens, Lewis Macleod and Harry Enfield appeared live at London's Criterion Theatre for a special Christmas show (and to plug the Eye Annual, still available in all good bookshops).
