Advertise on podcast: Rich and Ally's Craven Newsround

1/10/26 County Fair Merkin - Rich and Ally are back with a new co-host to talk about why being bald is masculine and why we have pubic hair. You won't get this in the lamestream media. Except in the Guardian.

29/9/26 - No Speculation. Rich and Ally cover a story that you won't have read about in LSM, some suspicious activity around RAF Fairford. Even if you've got wind of it then I don't think any of your news sources will have come at it from this angle. There will be no speculation in this one. Just cold hard facts based on stuff that we've heard from strangers on social media. Plus an on the spot report from... ooops nearly told you.

Friday 25th September 2026 - Beetroot Fairytale Palaces. Reporting the stories you won't see in the Lamestream media, Rich and Ally give a full report on this year's massive vegetable competition. With some warnings to those of you intending to make some cumpkins this year. I would write more but I need to pick my son up from school.

Thursday 24th September 2026 - News 101. The latest opinion polls are out and it's bad news for Nigel Farage, but not particularly good news for any of the parties, though Andy Burnham seems particularly happy. We visit Farage in his natural surroundings to find out how he feels about it all and Rich hedges his bets so he won't be first up against the wall if people fail to vote to keep him out.

23/9/26 Shrinkflaktion. After a brief personal spat, Rich and Ally look at Ebola and chocolate bars, but not at the same time. Has chocolate got smaller? Did it get bigger under Tony Blair's leadership? Why didn't Ally sing "Twix can only get bigger" at that point? Is brand curator a job that you can be proud of? And a special report from inside a chocolate factory, but by which character?

Craven Newsround Extra - The Man Behind The Mask. It's the weekend, which means that for some reason Hahayourbuttsmells is available for an interview. Who is this person? Is he a person? Why can't be appear on weekdays anymore? And is he surprisingly serious and sensitive in his day to day life. You can find out in today's episode. Also he keeps it to under 5 minutes so that's good.

Friday 18th September 2026 - Disgusting Australians. It's the last Newsround of the week and you've barely touched your skad. Rich and Ally cover the story of another Australian athlete who has been excreting bodily fluids every which way including loose. There are some serious allegations made about Herring's sexual preferences, but nothing has been proven. Plus Richard forgets the name of his favourite author. It can't be long now...

Fraternal Grief Can Cloud Reason and Colour Memory - 17/9/26. Rich and Ally bring you the news that you won't have read about in the LSM - Earl Spencer's accusation that the then Prince Charles said Lady Di would be quickly forgotten shortly after her death. As you'd expect we treat this subject with the utmost seriousness and respect, as it only right and proper. So eat you skad and enjoy it.

Weds 16th September 2026 - No Immediate Protocol. Rich and Ally discuss pottery, dead dogs and the impact of our mackerel report, before reporting on another story that the lamestream media won't touch, an athlete pooing themselves during a contest. With a special report from Istanbul and lots of lovely songs. The BAFTA is in the bag. For news obvs.

Friday September 11th 2026 - Tinned Fish Aficionado. The Lame Stream Media is trying to bury today's main news story beneath something that happened a quarter of a century ago and they don't even have the right date. Rich and Ally are here to put that right. And by God they really go deep into this thing. Strap in. This is going to be as hard for you as it is for me. Welcome to all the Chris Moyles listeners. This is not a typical ep.

Thursday 10th September 2026 - Black Shorts. Rich and Ally are today looking at what it's appropriate for politicians to offer the electorate if they win. It's better than it sounds. But not much better.

Wednesday 9th September 2026 - Eleclution. Rich is in the news again (broadly speaking) but only on Newsround will you find out the real reasons. But the other less important news that no one would lead with is the 10% chance of the extermination of humanity. But don't worry about that... buy a t-shirt here: http://gofasterstripe.com/ally

Tuesday 8th September 2026 - Monkey Glue. Rich and Ally get a visit from the politician who never listens, before looking into the blackheads of Dover and their multiple use balaclavas. Plus why the RNLI are the worst people in Britain. Get a Thank You Moriarty T-shirt if you're quick at gofasterstripe.com/ally

Friday 4th September 2026 - Aunty Christ. Rich and Ally have been shook by their interloper this week, but now he's back at school and everything is quiet and to be honest it all feels wrong. He may have broken this thing. But the team attempt to get to the bottom of the crocodile's transgressions and work out who the anti-Christ is before wisely giving up before their five minutes is up. You'll probably like it.

Wednesday 2nd September 2026 - Crocodile Rock. In today's Newsround we interview the crazy character who interloped yesterday and find him to be quite a down to earth guy, even if he has offended medieval Scotland. We also talk to a returning political force as we find out why Farage went up on the roof of parliament today. Will Hahayourbuttsmells crash the party? What the Hell is going on on this previously serious news programme?
