Another Day Ruined Ep One: Weather, Voice Notes & “Fall”

A NEW PODCAST. THE SAME OLD COMPLAINTS. 🎉

Welcome to Another Day Ruined — a comedy help desk for life, the universe and all the minor modern dilemmas that push us over the edge.

Join Jack Dee, Seann Walsh and Sara Morgan - three friends with plenty to complain about and some questionable solutions - as they tackle the everyday irritations that can ruin your day.

This week: why can nobody understand a simple house move? When did British people start calling autumn “fall”? And why do people phone you BEFORE putting their headphones in?

Plus, wildly unreliable weather forecasts, the tyranny of the voice note, and some much-needed rules for modern phone etiquette.

But it’s not all doom and gloom. We’re also hunting for glimmers - those unexpected little moments that remind us life might not be entirely terrible.
