PHEW! A Whole Civilisation Wasn’t Nuked

<p>It was one of those nights where going to bed felt… uncertain.</p><br /><p>After a late-night post from&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;sent the internet into meltdown, the world briefly found itself holding its breath, doom-scrolling, spiralling, and wondering what might come next. From rumours of escalation to very real geopolitical tension, the Trawl ladies try to make sense of a news cycle that felt anything but normal.</p><br /><p>Marina and Jemma dig into the reaction online (from panic to full-blown denial), the politics behind the brinkmanship, and how quickly narratives can shift from “unthinkable” to “just another headline.” Plus: media moments that raised eyebrows, commentary that missed the mark, and the internet doing what it does best...coping in real time.</p><br /><p>It’s messy, it’s surreal, and at times it was genuinely frightening.&nbsp;</p><br /><p>And yet Jemma and Marina still find time for underrateds and a palate cleanser at the end.</p><br /><p>Thank you for sharing and please do follow us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Patreon</p><p><a href="https://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast</a></p><p>&nbsp;</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>&nbsp;</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 &amp; 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.
