Podcast review: Taylor Swift to Ruby Wax to… Jason Perry

From Taylor Swift to Stanley Tucci. From Olivia Colman to… Mayor Jason Perry. Oh well… you can’t have everything.

But all of them, and more, get a mention in our latest episode of the Croydon Insider, our wide-ranging, irregular and irreverant round-table, news discussion, podcast thingy.

Listen in to our big, bad review of the year, as our panel of readers and contributors  discuss some of Inside Croydon’s bigger stories of the year – from film sets in the Whitgift Centre, to £100million residential blocks near the Town Hall that are not fit for human habitation, to Reform Ltd’s controversial choice of candidate for election as Croydon Mayor.

The Croydon Insider podcast is premium content exclusively for paying subscribers to Inside Croydon – the people who help keep journalism alive in the heart of Croydon.

Join our panel of readers – Anna Arthur, Cheryl Fergus-Ferrell, Oumesh Sauba and Ken Towl – as they discuss some of the bigger stories of the year, and take part in our special annual edition of Have I Got Croydon News For You!

How many answers can you get right??!

And find out who our panel want to star in a special Town Hall edition of The Thick Of It, playing the Mafiosi-style bad guy, Tony Newman.

Who might be cast to play Jo Negrini, as she slinks away from Fisher’s Folly with £437,000 tucked into her Gucci hand bag?

And is there any actor on the planet capable of carrying off the part of charmless council chief exec Katherine Kerswell?

Our panel members think they’ve got the answers.

For less than the price of a pint, even at Croydon prices, you can sign up and listen in to our last Croydon Insider for 2025, as well as qualify for a range of other benefits, discounts and priority bookings.

And thank you to all our existing and loyal supporters all their continued support throughout the past year!
