Springleaf - James Acaster’s new spoof podcast as a surreal one, as you would expect if you are familiar with James Acaster’s work. In fact, as the podcast spoof highlights at the very beginning, it turns out that Acaster isn’t his real name at all. In fact, he’s Pat Springleaf, an undercover cop. The comedian and his career was all a cover.

The cast is eclectic too. The cast includes Chloe Petts, Domhnall Gleeson, Finn Wolfhard, Freya Parker, Evelyn Mol, Sindhu Vee and … Louis Theroux.
