As the world teeters on geopolitical uncertainty, they dive into the headlines—from Trump’s embarrassingly sparse birthday parade and the powerful No Kings protests sweeping the U.S., to the chilling political violence in Minnesota.

With humour, sharp analysis, and just the right amount of outrage, this episode is packed with all the news, all the mess, and all the hot takes you need to hear.

Trump's Tastelessness, Tariffs and Tablets at the Dining Table 39:05

8 days ago39:05

39:05

In this episode, Marina and Jemma dive headfirst into the week’s online chaos, starting with a very British debate about kids and iPads at the dinner table. Kirstie Allsopp has thoughts, and so do they. From there, it’s a whirlwind tour through cultural clashes, viral romances, and the latest Trumpian monstrosity: a golden ballroom and a concrete patio. They unpack the U.S. employment nosedive and subsequent firing, Trump’s bizarre tariff spree (69 countries, really?), and the tourism crisis hitting even Las Vegas. Epstein’s legacy rears its ugly head again, with updates on Ghislaine Maxwell’s cushy prison transfer, plus theirs an update on White House Press Speaker Karoline Leavitt’s soul-selling antics and Trump's admiration for...her lips.

Reform Fear Factory Works Overtime: Bosh 44:06

9 days ago44:06

44:06

This week on The Trawl , logic takes a holiday and truth is just a vibe. Marina Purkiss and Jemma Forte wade into yet another week where the internet resembles less a town square and more a hall of mirrors. There’s a man convinced liberals hate breakfast, a woman who’s rewriting reality on live radio, and a politician who’s untethered from the facts yet remains unchallenged. The ladies begin by talking a look at Thomas Skinner and his mash-based brand of banter, a social media showdown that’s pure gravy. Then, Iain Dale’s Cross Question serves up some very cross answers which almost (but not quite) drown out an extraordinary statement from Jonathan Gullis. Meanwhile, Reform's Sarah Pochin is spinning baseless scare stories and Nigel Farage is doing his usual fearmongering freestyle. Also in the mix: underrated rants, underrated rage, and a touch of Samuel L. Jackson wisdom to round things off. Truth matters. And if you can't find it in the news, you might just hear it here.

Trump’s Highland Fling, Epstein Evasions & South Park Destroy 33:13

15 days ago33:13

33:13

This week on The Trawl , Jemma is holding the fort while Marina dials in from across the pond — on an Aperol-fuelled mission to confront Ron DeSantis (allegedly). Meanwhile, Trump’s been busy spreading his own unique brand of diplomacy terrorising Scotland, schmoozing Ursula von der Leyen with his usual brand of gibberish, and trying to memory-hole Epstein. He also undermines Starmer, slags off Sadiq Khan and gets annoyed with starving Gazans for not saying 'thank you.' There's some incredible South Park chaos, a Jerome Powell punch-up, and Keir Starmer’s latest attempt at relatable politics – with all the grace of a Turdbury meal deal. As always, it’s chaotic, unfiltered, and one hell of a scroll.

Lionesses, Epping Protests & the Left’s New Lovechild 35:21

16 days ago35:21

35:21

This week, Marina and Jemma dive into a whirlwind of chaos and clarity—from the Lionesses’ triumphant Euros win (yes, again) to the surreal scenes in Epping, where far-right protests collided with police apathy and a mob of counter-protesters. The Lionesses win was surely a source of joy for all England fans, surely? Er, sadly not, and one man in particular went to the trouble of calling up on LBC to express his disgust. Still, at least the police appear to be growing tired of arresting pensioners in kagoules at the ongoing Palestine protests and then there's the soft launch of a new left-wing political party to discuss. Will the Corbyn and Sultana proposition split the vote or bring radical change? Marina and Jemma discuss. Larry & Paul are served up for pudding and they capture the terror of summer holidays with kids. Enjoy!

Clive Lewis is the Labour MP for Norwich South and takes a bold stance in areas like water privatisation, the NHS, welfare, wealth taxes and Palestine. They discuss how he feels about the direction the Labour party has taken, and what it was like to make an anti-monarchy statement when he was sworn in as an MP.

The Battle of the Billionaire Ball Sacks: Trump v Murdoch 35:38

22 days ago35:38

35:38

This week, Marina and Jemma unpack the most expensive hissy fit in presidential history: Donald Trump is suing Rupert Murdoch and the Wall Street Journal for a casual $10 billion, meanwhile it appears JD Vance is on manoeuvres.... Meanwhile, Stephen Colbert, the most-watched late-night host in America is seemingly being cancelled not long after calling out a $16 million Trump settlement. Quite the coincidence! Reform UK continues its misinformation tour, with Sarah Pochin spouting nonsense on national TV and getting politely dismantled mid-broadcast. And in a by-election where Reform came fourth, the media coverage was so minimal it may as well have been printed in invisible ink and buried under a Farage flat cap.

Coldplay, Crackdowns, Arrests & Cold Truths 47:29

23 days ago47:29

47:29

Marina Purkiss and Jemma Forte have done the doom scrolling so you don’t have to, bringing you the viral chaos, the political drama, and the bits the mainstream misses. First up, the scandal that broke the internet—yes, that Coldplay affair. It had everything: shock, schadenfreude, and memes so relentless they almost made you forget how painful it must have been for those involved. The ladies have rounded up the funniest, sharpest, and most unhinged takes from across social media. Then they dive into Labour’s latest rollercoaster, including the good things you're not hearing about. One thing that has hit the headlines is the news that sixteen-year-olds will soon get the vote—cue the inevitable outrage about teenagers who “can’t even boil an egg.” Meanwhile, Starmer’s whip-wielding spree has left MPs floating awkwardly between “Labour-ish” and politically homeless, and Diane Abbott’s expulsion has sparked fury about hypocrisy at the heart of the party. Add Corbyn’s growing “Independent Alliance,” and you’ve got a movement that’s starting to look more like a rebellion. Oh, and did we mention pensioners are being arrested for peaceful protest? Yeah. That too. And the latest update from Palestine is heart wrenching but has to be discussed. From Westminster to TikTok, from viral reels to the quiet crises no one’s talking about—Jemma and Marina have trawled it all so you don’t have to.

Trump Takes Chelsea's Limelight, Superman Takes a Stand, and the Epstein Drama Continues 41:58

This week on The Trawl, Marina and Jemma dive into the truly gobsmacking and head-scratching events of the week - so you don’t have to. We start with Trump elbowing his way into Chelsea’s Club World Cup glory, and then it’s onto the swirling chaos of the Epstein files, with GOP evasions, metadata shenanigans, and conspiracy theories so spicy they could be served with fries. Marina breaks her “no implausible movies” rule for the new Superman flick that’s got geopolitical undertones and triggered right-wing meltdowns, while Trump distracts with poetic vendettas against Rosie O’Donnell and sanctions on a UN human rights expert. Plus a sprinkling of some dark comedy, a few celebrity cameos, and the surreal spectacle of American political theatre - and voilà, another episode of The Trawl that’s part therapy, part firecracker.

Butterflies, Bombs and Right-Wing Bloopers 38:35

38:35

Jemma and Marina are determined to ensure that The Trawl contains as many 'glimmers' as possible so begin the episode with some positive news about butterflies. Also featured is a heart warming story about raving school kids and the Trawl ladies share what each of them have been doing to mitigate how bleak the news is currently. They do go on to discuss why Rory and Alastair acknowledging that a genocide is occurring on their podcast, feels like a 'moment.' There then follows a heartfelt discussion about how they may or may not vote come the next election, and Marina poses a question which gives them both pause for thought. There are, as ever, some brilliant clips including a particularly powerful one of Jewish US actor, Mandy Patinkin. Then, did you know it's forty years since Live Aid? A certain someone has tweeted something so bizarre about it, it gives rise to lots of Trawl gold. Still, perhaps it's not quite as terrible as Tommy Robinson not knowing that migrants can be white, or Farage posing on the white cliffs of somewhere like a page 7 fella. Under rated clips and posts follow and pudding is a poem which Jemma and Marina adore and find very moving. It's by the brilliant Roger McGough.

Rachel Weeps as Texas Floods and America Burns 50:51

5 weeks ago50:51

50:51

Hold onto your hats Trawlers. Not the cheeriest episode ever recorded but the Trawl ladies do try to provide lightness where possible so begin by reflecting on some of the good things Labour have achieved in their first year, including more free school meals, nationalising steel and rail and recruiting 6, 700 more mental health workers. And yet, does any of it make up for their complicity in the ongoing genocide? The Trawl ladies certainly think not. Marina and Jemma discuss Rachel Reeve's crying in Parliament and the subsequent market fallout and enjoy Jonathan Pie's take as a clip. And then they drag on their waders as it's off to the swampy place that is US politics. Talk turns to Alligator Alcatrez and the amount of money Trump plans to spend on ICE. The figure will blow your minds and point to a very sinister truth. One which Stacy Abrams articulates beautifully. Of course the Trawl ladies talk about the tragic Texas floods and why Musk and Trump's cuts were partially responsible, along with devastating climate change of course. There's a smorgasbord of clips as ever and powerful tweets and threads and Instagram's and all the rest of it. Pudding is truly vintage - a historic vid of a silent movie star who, when it came to fascism in the 40's could no longer stay silent.

Nobel Peace Farce, Epstein Files Shocker and Arresting an 83 year old Priest 42:37

5 weeks ago42:37

42:37

What's the world coming to Trawlers? Yes, the news cycle is astoundingly awful but, as ever, Jemma and Marina nominate themselves to wade through what's happening so they can chat all through with you. They begin by paying tribute to Liverpool player Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva who sadly died in a car crash. For some reason, Trump is very anti finding the Epstein files which, after months and months of painstaking investigation have seemingly disappeared along with the much mooted client list. Hmm, it begs the question, if there weren't any clients, what's Ghislaine Maxwell in jail for? The plot thickens and even some of the most loyal MAGA loons aren't happy as it appears Trump is OK about protecting a paedophile ring. Meanwhile, Netanyahu has nominated him for a Nobel Peace Prize. The clip of the two war-mongering fellas will render your speechless but fortunately Marina and Jemma do manage to find some words. Some are quite choice. There are some domestic updates too and some ponderings over Richard Tice's wallpaper and, as ever, the under rated tweets section provides some levity. Pudding is Cody Dahler - Enjoy!

Bezos Ties the Knot While America Comes Undone 47:27

47:27

This week, Jemma and Marina tackle Venice’s most OTT nuptials as Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez say “I do” amidst a spectacle that felt like a Succession spin-off. From helicopters to haute couture and a Vogue cover cameo, the ladies break down the eyebrow-raising moment, including Leo Di Caprio's terrible attempt at camouflage and a Dolce & Gabbana dress that could have Bezos in for a long night. But things turn darker, and dumber, with the U.S. Senate’s passage of the “Big Bullsh*t Bill,” a legislative grenade lobbed straight at America’s most vulnerable. Marina and Jemma break down the grim fallout: Medicaid slashed, clean energy sabotaged, food assistance gutted… all while millionaires snag tax cuts and ICE gets worryingly bloated. And just when it couldn’t get more dystopian - enter Trump and Musk. Again. The MAGA soap opera gets spicier by the day with threats of deportation, party-splitting tantrums, and Elon hinting at a new political party. The ladies are living for the chaos - and if this feud reignites properly, the popcorn’s already in the microwave. There’s also a pudding from satirist Rosie Holt that’s too pitch-perfect to miss. So pull up a gondola - because Jemma and Marina are taking no prisoners.
