SIM Ep 437 IMD20#3: Michael Spicer is the man in the room (well, Zoom) next door

Jen catches up with comedian and writer Michael Spicer, who you’ll know from his excellent The Man In The Room Next Door sketches (and if you don't, do check them out – they're pitch perfect), and now new book The Secret Political Adviser: The Unredacted Files Of The Man In The Room Next Door. They chat being a man online, being Matt Hancock online, and contemporary political heroes – spoiler alert, they’re a bit thin on the ground in the UK at the minute.
