A very Friday feeling Trawl. Jemma and Marina are back on the scroll, cutting through the chaos with equal parts rage, wit, and ridiculousness.

They begin with the utter farce of daylight saving time and a Question Timebooking that raises serious questions. Mainly, why?

Then the Trawl ladies discuss the powerful, joyful anti–far right march that the mainstream somehow managed to side-line They also precis what has been a spectacularly bad week for Nigel Farage.

Plus: the internet at its finest (and worst), from elite-level insults to accidental comedy gold.

Smart, sharp, and just unhinged enough—

it’s The Trawl doing what it does best.

Trump’s back on the mic and it’s… Sharpies, sex, and 'aced' dementia tests while the world edges closer to chaos.

Marina and Jemma wade through the surreal: from Trump confusing cognitive screenings with IQ tests, to casually musing about seizing Iran’s oil like it’s on a tapas menu. Meanwhile, his administration openly flirts with war crimes, hands out awards for sycophancy, and somehow finds time to discuss ballroom renovations mid-conflict.

There’s dark absurdity (a literal assassination GoFundMe), genuine fear (what happens if Karg Island is targeted), and the creeping reality that global stability may hinge on one man’s ego.

Plus: brain-fart moments, EastEnders-style geopolitics, listener stories that hit hard, and a reminder that even in the bin fire humanity still exists.

It’s chaotic. It’s bleak. It’s occasionally hilarious.

It’s The Trawl. Enjoy!

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.
