Podmasters announce new podcast series - PAPER CUTS
PAPER CUTS – We read the papers so you don’t have to
Have you SEEN the state of the papers today? PAPER CUTS has. In a brand-new thrice-weekly podcast, some of Britain’s sharpest commentators and funniest comedians come together to look at the madness, the strangeness, the obsessions, and – occasionally – the brilliance of our national press.
PAPER CUTS is the fast, funny, modern newspaper review. In each pacy twenty- minute edition, our panel picks out the most eye-popping headlines, the stories the matter and the most offbeat tales the press can offer, and offers them up for your incredulity and entertainment.
From the Mail’s obsession with Woke to the Daily Star’s war on pigeons (“FEATHERED PSYCHOS!”) to all the things the Guardian is telling you not to enjoy, PAPER CUTS digs into the newspapers’ own private manias – and what they tell us about Britain.
Informed, witty and sceptical but never cynical, PAPER CUTS reinvents the traditional newspaper review format with a mix of journalistic expertise and raw humour; PAPER CUTS is a moment of sanity and comedy in an overheated media world.
In each edition presenter Miranda Sawyer (Observer, Mirror) is joined by seasoned journalists including Marie le Conte (Independent), Rob Hutton (The Critic), Jonn Elledge (New Statesman) and Alex Von Tunzelmann plus exasperated comedians Fin Taylor, Athena Kugblenu, Ria Lina, Fergus Craig and Grainne Maguire to dissect the dailies, take apart the tabloids and break down the broadsheets.
“I can’t wait to get my teeth into the Great British press, along with the funniest people in journalism and the smartest comedians,” says anchor Miranda Sawyer. “For good or ill, digital or not, we’re a newspaper nation. Sometimes reading the papers feels like being trapped with a mad auntie – and sometimes it’s like talking to the cleverest person you know. We’re going to enjoy the weirdness, celebrate the good stuff and have fun with all of it on a podcast that will make your day.”
Why launch PAPER CUTS now? We might live in a digital world but the big news brands still move the nation. A blockbuster front page can still get the country talking. A hard news scoop will get politicians running for cover. A brilliantly funny headline or a bizarre story are social media’s fuel. Behind all the tweets and the TikToks we’re still a newspaper nation. And PAPER CUTS is here to nail the worst and celebrate the best of our national obsession.
Launching on 5 June on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, PAPER CUTS comes to you from Podmasters, the independent studio behind hit podcasts Oh God, What Now?, The Bunker, Doomsday Watch and Origin Story.
“We’re really excited for PAPER CUTS to be the latest from the Podmasters stable,” says Group Editor Andrew Harrison. “We’re all newspaper junkies here. We’re addicted to the excitement of tomorrow’s front pages and the joy of a laugh-out-loud headline.
“But people are a lot less trusting of the press today, and more knowing about the papers’ failings, their biases and their weird fixations. It’s the perfect time to put the boot in – in the kindest way possible, of course.”
PAPER CUTS. We read the papers so you don’t have to. Starts Monday 5 June on all podcast platforms.
Has anyone else wanted a clear sense of how stem cell therapy is applied to the Achilles? The article at https://humanauthealth.com/blog/stem-cell-therapy-for-achilles-tendonosis-in-runners-can-it-help aligns with Humanaut’s discussion of MSCs — often from a patient’s own tissue or other regulated sources — delivered under imaging guidance into degenerated tendon tissue. The goal is support for the local healing environment rather than a simple steroid-style injection. Practical if comparing regenerative options to continued rest and PT alone.

Old shipping ledgers state sex cam became the bizarre classification label of an independent freight container documented in a conservative British railway inventory from 1952 that I analyzed yesterday. I still cannot fully comprehend why that specific modern-sounding phrase was typed onto that old paperwork. This discovery puzzled me.
Hello everyone, writing directly from the UK after a long evening of analysing tech investments. I found this platform because a mate of mine keeps sending random links in a WhatsApp group (usually about AI startups or corporate strategy), and this time he mentioned a site that works really well on his phone. Normally no one takes what he sends very seriously, but I decided to take a look out of curiosity. While browsing, I accessed https://bitguruz-gb.uk/ and noticed that everything seemed remarkably simple immediately. Another positive point was how quickly I could switch between games without having to refresh the page all the time. There was a moment when I thought about giving up after a few consecutive losses, but…
