Actor, comedian and broadcaster Stephen Mangan presents a comedy chat show about shame and guilt.

Each week, Stephen invites a different guest into his virtual confessional box to make three confessions - with remarkable storytelling and surprising insights. In this unconventional chat show, he wants to see what really makes them tick by finding out what they are ashamed of!

Stephen and his guest reflect with empathy and humour on why we get embarrassed, where our shame thresholds should be, and the value of guilt.

In this episode, the writer, journalist and political strategist Alastair Campbell speaks about 鈥渕aladaptive competitiveness鈥�, technology which defeats him and dressing up at Lambeth Palace.

Written and presented by Stephen Mangan.

With extra material by Nick Doody.

Producer: Frank Stirling

A 7digital production for 麻豆社 Radio 4, first broadcast in June 2021.
