Mark Nelson: Generational Labels, Ghostwatch and the Ethics of Parenthood

Season 1 Episode 7 Published 2 years, 11 months ago
Description

Mark Nelson has thoughts on social media, parenting ethics, Ghostwatch, reboots that expect too much of audiences, and politics — and delivers all of them with the straight-talking honesty that makes him one of the sharpest voices on the circuit.

Mark Nelson is a Scottish comedian known for his dark, biting humour and sharp observations, and co-host of the Absolute Cuts podcast with Ryan Cullen.

  • How social media has lowered the barriers for new comedians finding an audience — and whether that's entirely a good thing
  • How becoming a parent shifts your ethical perspective in ways you genuinely don't see coming
  • The impact of the BBC's legendary 1992 broadcast of Ghostwatch — and why it still matters as a piece of television history
  • The problem with reboots that expect audiences to remember storylines from shows that disappeared years ago
