Welcome back to THE DISCOURSE+, a podcast about film, entertainment & culture.

In this episode, our longest yet (so call it a bumper length one), Carl and Tony dig into the big event of May - the Coronation of King Charles III. Well, the second biggest event - Eurovision next week!

They chat the ceremony and its arcane ritual, viewing figures of the day, some of the oddest and most comedic moments, plus look at the concert where Carl's love of Katy Perry once again comes to the fore.

Plus! Our Man Down Under, Bo Nicholson, asks a key couple of questions about the monarchy and we dive into the ever-present topic of what role they serve, and what the alternatives might be.
