This week, Jacki and Lyle embark on part 2 of their 2024 lookback miniseries! In the second and final part of this series, Jacki and Lyle discuss some of the biggest stories covered in the podcast in the second half of 2024. On the agenda this week, our duo pick the bones out of not one but TWO seismic elections from both sides of the pond, with Donald J. Trump defeating Kamala Harris to become the 47th President of the United States, and Sir Keir Starmer defeating Rishi Sunak in what was admittedly an expected United Kingdom election win for the Labour party. Jacki analyses how, despite Labour getting their messaging spot on to defeat the Conservatives, the real winners were the likes of Lib Dem leader Ed Davey and Reform leader Nigel Farage, both of whom saw their parties exceed expectations at the polls. Jacki and Lyle also analyse Trump's messaging, with Jacki again outlining her belief that, like him or loathe him, Trump can be considered a very effective communicator in these situations. Conversation then moves on to the array of celebrity crises that were covered in the podcast in the second half of 2024, with Gregg Wallace's infamous Instagram response to allegations levelled against him, Amanda Abbington vs. Giovanni Pernice, Phillip Schofield's ill-fated Castaway appearance, and Jermaine Jenas all covered in the second part of the 2024 lookback. Baby Reindeer is breifly touched on, although Lyle agrees that Richard Gadd and co have seen enough recent success without the podcast getting involved as well! As ever, we want to hear your comments! What have we missed? And what were your 2024 highlights?
