It’s a Right Royal Balls

The royal baby, riots in the US, the UK election and another nut job given a job to toe Abbott's party line.

Every day about 1,900 children are born in the UK, but one has drawn particular attention because her mum and dad are quite famous, and have a bit of dosh.

On this week’s Balls Radio we provide the latest on the Royal birth, the forthcoming UK election, the riots in Baltimore, we question the merits of negative gearing, the latest crackpot scheme to charge an admission fee for migrants and look into the credentials of Bjorn Lomborg – the sceptical environmentalist.

What is Balls Radio?

Balls Radio is like talk radio, but for thinking people. Now a short daily occurrence, Phil Dobbie offers his opinions on what's happening, in the UK and overseas: politics, social policy, economics, science, religion. Yes, it's another, slightly overweight middle-aged white man telling the world how it should be. But there's nothing alt-right about Balls Radio. And we try and have fun along the way.
