The End of the Age of Terror and Death (with Stewart Lee)
Maximalism. Everything these days is always the very best, or the absolute worst. This level of exaggeration is almost comic, so who better to join Armando than Stewart Lee?
One one hand, the world is going to hell, on the other, the age of terror and death has ended, so which is it? Stewart Lee joins Armando to take a look at this maximal approach to political language.
How do you do moderate politics with caps lock on? What's the smart way to diffuse complex arguments about politics? And given the details still to be worked out in the Isreal Gaza peace process, is this week's Peace Summit Trump's 'Mission Accomplished' moment?
