Today we welcome back friend of the show, comedian Akeem Hoyte-Charles.
Last time he was on the podcast we cold called the teacher who got fired over her rap career, making a strong dent in Down to the Wire history.
In today’s episode we introduce him to the new format we've been testing out, where we read out a headline and our guest has 90 seconds to guess if it’s real or fake news.
