You are marooned a desert island with a few books and records. Fast forward three years. You now rule the island with an iron fist. But what laws will you enact? What will you ban? Each week, comedian Jacob Hatton interviews a new castaway from the worlds of science, journalism, politics and entertainment and asks them about their own personal island. Will it be a utopia or a nightmare?

This week, I spoke to the journalist and political bookmaker William Kedjanyi about an island much closer to home.
This turned out to be an in depth and politics/news heavy chat and one that I really enjoyed. Over the coming months we're aiming to space out the chats between comedians/entertainers of whom I know many, and really interesting people from the world of politics, journalism, science and academia.
