Podcast Tonight Awards 2026

"All British Comedy Explained" is a podcast where American comedian Abigoliah Schamaun learns about foundational UK comedy shows from British writer and producer Tom Salinsky.

The podcast's first season, themed "Landmarks," features Salinsky guiding Schamaun through a curated list of essential British comedy series. For each show, Salinsky first explains its background and historical context. Then, they both watch two specific episodes and discuss them. At the end of each episode, Schamaun decides whether the show earns a place on her "Shelf of Fame" or ends up in the "bargain bin". The selected shows for the season include Monty Python's Flying Circus, The Young Ones, The Office, and The Goon Show, among others.
