Podcast Dropped Over Censorship

According to Chortle, a UK comedy guide, the BBC has dropped a popular podcast by comedian Russell Brand after the he refused to allow them to edit out controversial material. The BBC wanted to cut from his podcast a segment involving disabled basketball player Ade Adepitan. I think we could have found a version that could have been released, but a lot of the time people simply do what is easiest," said Brand. I love that podcast and I really want it to work. But in my position you spend so much time talking rubbish. It is not often you get to highlight an issue like this.
