In their final episode before a month-long break, Hannah and Aphra delve into the Trump trial outcome - and why it’s apparently been harder for Melania than it has Donald - Starmer’s tinfoil spine, the return of Farage, absolutely heartbreaking scenes from Gaza, Mexico’s new leader, and a potential cancer breakthrough that could change the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. Digressions include Lady Parts and the urgent need to frolic.

Content warning - this episode briefly touches on violence against women and girls, and also discusses  bowel cancer and atrocities happening in Gaza
