This Trawl focuses entirely on the recent allegations against Russell Brand. Jemma and Marina deliberately don't go into any of the detail outlined in The Times piece or C4 Dispatches as obviously the subject matter could be fairly triggering for some listeners. Instead, they take a look at the varying reactions to the allegations and discuss why they might be so polarised. It seems that everybody had something to say on the matter and some of the discourse has been exhausting, frankly. For Jemma it stirs up memories of what it was like being a young woman back in the noughties during the era of Loaded, Nuts magazine and High Street Honey's and so on, and Marina reflects on why she had to 'tap out' of one particular chat about it all.
