PoS #20 Matt Forde, Political Comedian.

October 02, 2020 • Politics of Sound • Season 1 • Episode 20

In the October edition of the Politics of Sound, Iain Carnegie invites the political comedian, impressionist, author and tv personality Matt Forde to pay his own visit to the Politics of Sound virtual Record Shop to select his three all-time favourite albums.

Matt emerges with an eclectic selection by Johnny Cash, Dire Straits and Oasis and offers a brilliant, irreverent behind-the-scenes peek at New Labour, the secrets of successful mimicry (if there are any), his upbringing in Nottingham, what inspired him to write his first book and why voicing characters on the new series of Spitting Image is just about as exciting as it gets!

Matt's autobiography, Politically Homeless is released on October 8th.
