This is Truish, your weekly soft news bulletin where broadcaster Daisy Maskell unpack the weird and wonderful headlines, moments, and curiosities of the week with hilarious guests. New episodes every Monday.

We have a truly hilarious episode of Truish waiting for you… filled with everything from doom-scrolling to dating apps. Daisy Maskell is joined by Alfie Dundas!

Alfie is a stand-up comedian whose smart, self-deprecating storytelling blends personal confession with sharp cultural observation. With over 100M views across his standup clips, Alfie has built a devout following as one of the fastest-rising comedians on the circuit. He is a BBC New Comedy Award nominee and has supported the likes of Stephen Bailey and Max Fosh on tour.

On this episode of Truish, Daisy and Alfie talk about dating app conspiracies (are those Raya profiles real?), Alfie has a grievance about a virtual clay pigeon shooting experience and they debate “date my mate” pitch nights.

They expand their scepticism into debating immersive experiences, like a Titanic simulation, riff on childhood habits around money and trading (including yo-yos) and react to a study claiming googly eyes on ice cream cones reduced seagull attacks by 50%.
