Take Your Uncle to Work Day feat. Nish Kumar
This week, we've brought comedian Nish Kumar on for his regular torture treatment: being forced to hear the plot of a British politician's thriller novel. In this case, it's Ian Duncan Smith's 'The Devil's Tune' and it's easily the worst of any of these we've ever done. Hope you enjoy!

Laughing out loud at this episode multiple times (much to consternation of my cat sleeping on my lap)
Are you still in Australia?
Also, who could do a drive by shooting in midtown Manhattan in the middle of the day? The car would only be able to get about half a block before getting stuck in traffic!
All my uncles are gone.

You are from Canada, don't ever tell me parts of the Bronx are nice
I often confuse Ian Duncan Smith and Ian Douglas Smith (of Rhodesia infamy) which doesn't cause as many problems as you might think, and I'm going to level with the gang, this reading series didn't help me with my problem at all.
The Empire State Building is actually filled with a bunch of dinky little offices IIRC.
Permanent neurological damage from listening to this, 10/10
Why do y'all know who Martin van Buren is? Surely there are better things to be knowing
He's not even in the Simpsons mediocre presidents song
Bonus Voice has now transitionned from invasive to vestigial
It's very hard to legally own a gun in NYC but actually getting your hands on one is as simple as driving down to Virginia, so that bit checks out.
Man, the opening seems like a real tense situation
IDS is like 2 cousins removed from my grandmother and they played a few times as children, and as a massive Tory this is her favourite fact about herself.
It's the torture one! ×bonus moan... Or scream ×
So we're experiencing time compression like in Final Fantasy 8. Yup, got it.
Alice now officially has too many uncles
It's John werbenjagermanjenson! He's the quiet man!
