An MP, a journalist and a stand-up walk into a bar – and there’s an audience there… Ever been so fed up with the world that you’ve been unable to do anything but sit on your arse and do sod all about it? Then subscribe to the monthly support group for fellow slacktivists and do some more sitting on your arse this time with your headphones on. Three guests talk passionately about what is currently getting them fired up and hopefully some of that energy rubs off, so that we think about getting off our arses at some point in the future – at least to go to the bar afterwards. Hosted by Andy Parsons.
