News Over Tea is a weekly British news and politics podcast with a comedy habit. Everyone's arguing about the report - almost nobody has read it, so every Wednesday night at ten we go and get the actual document.

The government report. The parliamentary register entry. The court filing, the transcript, the inquiry findings published in full and then read by nobody. Then we work out what it really says, in plain English, in about fifteen minutes.

Your host is Sunny D'Souza - a pseudonym, and an animated one at that - who is calm, funny, and quietly amazed at what people leave lying around in public.

Anyone tired of choosing between news that's rigorous and unlistenable, or entertaining and unreliable. If you've ever wondered whether anyone actually read the thing they're all shouting about - somebody did, and he'll tell you what's in it.

New episode of News Over Tea every Wednesday night at ten.
