The Way It Is: The BBC Radio 4 Comedy Series

The Way It Is is a cult spoof audio series that aired on BBC Radio 4 from 1998 to 2002, blending satire and sketches to critique media and politics. Hosted by newscasters Richard Richard and Lolly Swain, it features a colorful cast of bumbling reporters, including a celebrity-snoop journalist and an overzealous weatherman, who navigate the headlines and antics of the nineties and early noughties.
