Host Miranda Sawyer is joined by journalists and comedians like Jonn Elledge, Grainne Maguire, Jacob Jarvis, Ava Santina, Marcus Brigstocke, Coco Khan and many more.

Love it

Brilliant way to reading the front pages with a comical twist. I recommend if you had enough of the blatant bias of the Uk media

Because paper reviews should always be funny.

It's only a few weeks old but Paper Cuts is now a regular fixture for me. Brilliant.
