Publisher's Summary

Want to know more about history and politics? Then you should probably go and listen to a proper audiobook. Fancy a laugh at some smutty jokes? Then go and read Viz. But if you fancy a combination of the two, this is the audiobook for you.

In Off the Record, bitter and twisted leftie news reporter Jonathan Pie picks 10 of the world's worst wankers and tears them apart.

Here you'll find the answers to some difficult questions. Was Blair just a Tory in disguise? Did Cameron really have relations with that pig? Just how did we end up with President Donald Trump?

It's the ultimate guide to political arseholery. With extra swearing.

So entertaining.

Awesome time spent with Jonathon Pie. Loved it. Based on facts and his humour to deliver politics as it is.

If you like Pie's rants, this is a lot of those

Important note: At least for me, the a la carte price of buying this book was less than the cost of a monthly Audible credit. Make sure you pick the cheaper option for you.

I've been a big fan of Jonathan Pie's YouTube channel since 2016. He manages to straddle the line of doing high quality rants while also making salient and meaningful points at the same time. It's hard to do and he does it very well. I grabbed this hoping for a bit of a more long-form presentation from him, something different from his standup shows.

In reality, this is just a series of longer rants about various current and historical political figures. It's very short for an audiobook and though well presented, if you're a fan of Pie's, you'll have heard a lot of this before, though the ones about more historical figures like Henry VIII are pretty interesting.

It's a fun couple of hours for hardcore Pie fans only but though I did enjoy it, I don't think this is worth spending the cost, when books that are 5-8x the size often only cost 2-3x the price.
