Episode 3. Michael's new earring crashes the gold market

19 September 2026

Available for over a year

Farcical parody of a magazine radio show with absurd guests, debates and live music. Michael Fry debuts a new gold earring in a desperate attempt to appeal to younger listeners, but the fashion choice appears to trigger a catastrophic collapse in the value of gold worldwide. As markets panic, Ulster FM's new owner Beevan ABBA Bjorn demands answers.

Angela from Downpatrick returns to demand compensation after winning a holiday to Lisburn instead of Lisbon.

Written by Michael Fry, Sean Burke, Ciara Knight, Eleanor Morton, Carl Kinsella and Mick McCullagh
