Our Editor's Take

The Frank Skinner Show is a comedic podcast covering a variety of subjects. The unpredictability of the topics is one of the podcast's enduring features. British stand-up comedian Christopher Graham Collins, aka Frank Skinner, hosts the podcast. Skinner and his cohort always have something hilarious ready for listeners. The host's effortless wit may make people laugh nonstop. Comedic punchlines, hilarious pop culture commentary, and authentic humor pervade the podcast. Listeners can expect everything from mistaken identity stories to hypothetical sugar factory tours.

Skinner's award-winning career started in 1987 when he began performing stand-up. Since then, he has produced, written, and acted in many TV shows and specials. His best-selling book, Frank Skinner by Frank Skinner, led to a TV show with a similar name. Another TV program, The Frank Skinner Show, aired from 1995 to 2005. Four years later, he joined Absolute Radio's Saturday morning programming as a host.

The Frank Skinner Show started in 2009. Since then, the podcast has won several awards from the Radio Academy. In 2024, Emily Dean, former deputy editor of InStyle, joined the show as Skinner's cohost.

Skinner and Dean sometimes chat with people from different entertainment genres. For example, comedian Steve Hall and actors Jak Malone and Natasha Hodgson from Operation Mincemeat visit the studio. Hall, Malone, and Hodgson join the cohosts in the "Travel Toothbrush" episode. As usual, several hilarious stories and debates ensue. They discuss the usefulness of travel-size items. Dean shares her thoughts about travel toothbrushes. According to the cohost, a toothbrush should be free, not encased. The group shares many more hilarious perspectives in their conversation.

The Frank Skinner Show is brilliant, entertaining, and informative. The podcast's longevity is a testament to its entertainment value. Anyone needing a laugh may enjoy this podcast.
