Comedians Alison Spittle and Fern Brady launched Wheel of Misfortune with BBC Sounds during covid. It featured former Atomic Kitten Kerry Katona joining as co-host before it came to an end three years ago. Brady and Spittle have teamed up again for the bantercast Ignore that Feeling. Episodes are released every Tuesday but you can sign up to their Patreon for early access. Here’s what we learned from the first episode.

The same but different: How does Ignore That Feeling compare with Wheel of Misfortune? It’ll be the same dynamic but there won’t be any themes. A big thing that frustrated Brady about the last show, acknowledges Spittle, was coming up with a new theme for every episode. “We were like slaves to the themes,” says the Scottish comedian, admitting they just ran out of ideas - and ended up talking about the same thing anyway. We’re sure they’re not the only podcast feeling this strain in 2026.
