Ciarán, Uma and Nick discuss the post Davos fallout and revelations in what they're calling the most Brussels Bubble bullshit episode ever

Despite a complex childhood, and with her teenage years spent guiding the career of her controversial comedian mother Janey Godley whilst caring for her depressed autistic father, Ashley has just had the most surreal, dramatic, tragic… and successful year of her life.

Her dream job was always in the magical world of TV with all its escapism, justice and happy endings. But the universe has a twisted sense of humour, and just as Ashley finally gets her big break, Janey is diagnosed with terminal cancer. Yay.

In this episode, we jump inside the brilliant and unhinged autistic brain of our “adult perma-child” protagonist and attempt to unspool this tragicomedy with some hilarious digressions en route.

Produced by Julia Sutherland

During the ongoing genocide in Gaza, the German police, courts and state apparatus have heavily cracked down on the Palestinian solidary movement through police intimidation and violence, raidings of activists, and the attempted criminalization of organizations and slogans.
