Joey Skaggs interviewed by Mark Borkowski about creative dissent on BBC Radio 4
OUTRAGE INC, an audio documentary by Mark Borkowski, aired on BBC Radio 4, August 23, 2025:
“From Suffragette arsonists to soup on sunflowers – why the stunt still matters.
Legendary publicist Mark Borkowski takes a no-prisoners look at the history of the protest stunt – the noisy, theatrical interventions that have rattled the establishment for over a century.
With fascinating examples from the BBC archive and interviews with Led By Donkeys, The Centre for Political Beauty, Joey Skaggs, The Yes Men, veteran activist Jamie Kelsey Fry and Clare Farrell from XR.”
“We criminalise the political stunt at our peril. It is a crucial art form that is impossible to ignore”, Mark Borkowski, The Guardian, 20 Aug 2025.
Listen to the full documentary on BBC Radio 4 (only available in the UK). For others, the interview is above.
From the Vault: Comacocoon, the Perfect Travel Alternative
Tired? Feeling stressed? Need a vacation, but haven’t got the time? Or, perhaps you have concerns about the dangers of air travel or political unrest.
35 years ago, in the Fall of 1990, German anesthesiologist Dr. Joseph Schlafer (a.k.a. Joey Skaggs) had the solution: Comacocoon…. The perfect dream vacation.
Travel via suspended animation through anesthesiology and subliminal programming. Vacation packages included the Magical Mystery Tour (where you could be a rock star on a sellout concert tour), the Thrill Seeker (to ride the rapids), the Don Juan (for the lady’s man), or the Mata Hari (for the woman seeking romance and adventure, without the firing squad). Oh, but that’s not all! You could also have elective surgery, quit smoking, lose weight, and learn a foreign language.
