Storm Huntley

Look, the episode that aired on 12 December 2025 is the latest instalment of Storm Huntley’s live‑call‑in show, a fairly straightforward current‑affairs format. Storm herself is the sole host, sitting at a desk littered with phones and a scrolling ticker, while the studio audience is kept to a minimum. It feels a bit like a stripped‑down version of “The Andrew Marr Show”, but with more emphasis on listener interaction. In this particular broadcast Storm tackles the biggest headlines of the day – the budget announcement, a surprise by‑election result, and a viral social‑media scandal that’s got the nation buzzing. Callers are invited to ring in, and the conversations bounce from earnest policy debate to the occasional cheeky meme reference. There’s a brief clip of a parliamentary committee hearing, and Storm even pulls in a surprise guest – a former MP turned pundit – to add some colour. No major twists, just a rapid‑fire rundown of what’s been dominating the news cycle. Honestly, it’s not groundbreaking, but it’s surprisingly good at keeping the chatter lively. Compared with “Good Morning Britain”, the pacing is tighter and the phone‑ins feel less scripted, though the occasional dead air can make the hour feel a touch long. If you enjoy a blend of serious analysis and light‑hearted banter, it’s worth a watch; if you’re after deep investigative pieces, you’ll be left wanting more. Rated “15” – expect some swearing and heated political opinions, plus a few graphic descriptions of the budget cuts. The show is live, so there’s a risk of on‑air slip‑ups. This episode marks the first terrestrial airing of the season’s holiday special, so it’s a decent primer for anyone who’s missed the earlier weeks.
