BBC Radio 4 has today launched Jokes, a new comedy podcast feed that brings together top picks from the station’s original comedy in one place. Available to subscribe on BBC Sounds and RSS, Jokes will combine brand new series with highlights from the archive, providing comedy fans with an easy way to find the latest content from their favourite comedians.

First up in the feed will be Nora Meadows’ Week of Wellness, a new sitcom starring Katy Wix as a therapist trying to help her clients (and herself) find wellness. This series is a joint commission between BBC Comedy and Radio 4 following a non-broadcast pilot last year.

Beginning on March 16, Fullscreen will unveil the second season of Jack & Dean Of All Trades -- marking the first-ever returning original series from the digital media giant’s global Svod platform. Jack & Dean is a scripted, Streamy-nominated comedy starring YouTubers Jack Howard and Dean Dobbs, in which they attempt to hold down various temp jobs.

In the second season of the show, also comprising six episodes, Jack’s girlfriend lands in prison after an accidental bank robbery, leaving the duo to contend with stolen bags of cash. Jack’s conniving sister, Lottie -- whose sole purpose is to make him miserable -- also makes an appearance. Guest stars include Jacob Anderson (Game Of Thrones) and David Elms (Borderline), alongside series regulars Jessica Hynes (Bridget Jones’s Baby) and Andrea Valls.
