This week, Andy Zaltzman is joined by Helen Zaltzman and Josie Long for an episode awash with political upheaval, mild optimism, and existential dread.

🌊 The Blue Wave: Across the US, progressives are making surprising gains — including Zohran Mamdani’s win in NYC. But how long before the wave meets the usual breakwater of bureaucracy?

🎙️ Trump vs the BBC: In a glorious meltdown that will echo through press rooms for decades, Donald Trump loses it live on air. Andy brings us a world-exclusive “interview” with The Don himself — because if you can’t get him in person, you can always get him in parody.

🔥 The End of the World (Slowly): Climate, conflict, capitalism — the apocalypse is on layaway, but it’s still coming. Don’t worry, there’s time to panic later.
