Summary
<p>This week on <em>The Trawl</em>, Jemma and Marina wade through a global cesspit of power, propaganda and, quite literally, poo.</p><p>From Donald Trump’s unhinged AI fantasy, featuring himself as a crowned Top Gun pilot dropping actual sewage on protesters, to the real-life horror of leaked GOP group chats filled with racist bile, America is plumbing new depths. Meanwhile, back in Blighty, Tesco’s being called out, M&S thinks it’s Harrods, and the Palace is in a PR panic as Prince Andrew’s name re-enters the headlines ahead of Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir.</p><br /><p>Thank goodness for characters like Zohran Mandami who aren't afraid to hold powerful men to account for their sleazy misdemeanours and indeed crimes. </p><br /><p>There’s hypocrisy, hubris, and high-octane nonsense on both sides of the pond — plus your usual <em>Underrated</em> Clips and Tweets of the week. Grab your waders, Trawlers. It’s a murky one.</p><br /><p>Thank you for sharing and do tweet us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast</p><p> </p><p>Patreon</p><p><a href="https://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast</a></p><p> </p><p>Youtube</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawl" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawl</a></p><p> </p><p>Twitter</p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcast</a></p><br /><p>If you’ve even mildly enjoyed The Trawl, you’ll love the unfiltered, no-holds-barred extras from Jemma & Marina over on Patreon, including:</p><br /><p>• Exclusive episodes of The Trawl Goss – where Jemma and Marina spill backstage gossip, dive into their personal lives, and often forget the mic is on</p><p>• Early access to The Trawl Meets…</p><p>• Glorious ad-free episodes</p><br /><p>Plus, there’s a bell-free community of over 3,300 legends sparking brilliant chat.</p><br /><p>And it’s your way to support the pod which the ladies pour their hearts, souls (and occasional anxiety) into.
