Frankie Boyle, Susie McCabe and Christopher MacArthur-Boyd are to host a new podcast sharing their ‘subversive and darkly funny opinions’.

Here Comes the Guillotine will launch next Monday from producers Global, who say the three Scottish comics will ‘use their unique unbridled style of rebellious comedy to discuss any given topic’.

The company’s head of comedy podcasts, Chris Lander, said: ‘One of the best things about commissioning podcasts is the ability to put people together who are genuine friends and then giving them a platform to be their brilliant selves.

‘The fact that Frankie, Susie and Christopher are also three of my favourite comedians makes this one extra special.’

• John Robins and Elis James’s BBC Radio 5 Live podcast is returning tomorrow, with two episodes a week rather than one, with an hour-long compilation going out on the channel at 1pm on Fridays.  Robins said: ‘Somehow we've created a bigger, smaller, longer, shorter, live and pre-recorded podcast, creating a digital bridge between BBC Sounds and Radio 5 Live.’

• The Way They Were podcast, in which comedians Gráinne Maguire and Chantal Feduchin-Pate, delve into a different celebrity breakup each episode, is returning for a second series on February 16. Maguire said of the celebrities they talk about: ‘No matter how ridiculous the couple or silly their actions, we always end up getting way too invested.’
