Stop The World, We Want To Get Off (When Allies Face No Consequences)

It’s one of those episodes.

Marina and Jemma try (and occasionally fail) to keep it together as they wade through a week of escalating horror: war rhetoric, media apathy, and leaders who seem either missing in action or actively making things worse. From the sheer scale of the US “No Kings” protests to the deeply disturbing reality unfolding across Iran, Israel and Lebanon, this is a conversation driven by anger, disbelief and a desperate need to make sense of it all. 

They ask the question many are thinking: why does it feel like the world isn’t reacting? Is it apathy, overwhelm, or something more uncomfortable?

There are moments of dark humour (because it’s The Trawl), but this one pulls no punches on Trump, on global leadership, on media coverage, and on the growing sense that ordinary people are being left shouting into the void.

Plus: a truly unhinged MAGA money grab, CPAC chaos, and proof that sometimes the most honest commentary is coming from random people online.

It’s cathartic, it’s furious, and it’s very, very real.
