Iran bans puppies, and other stories from the Middle East

This week, Andy Zaltzman is joined by Tiff Stevenson and Tom Ballard to untangle a world that's somehow too serious and too stupid—often at the same time.


🔥 Top Story: Iran & Israel — tensions escalate, missiles fly, and peace remains as elusive as a rational online comment section.

🐕 Also in Iran: forget cats with attitude—dog walking is now banned. We unpack the leash-tightening madness.

☀️ Meanwhile, the summer solstice brings light and… an AUKUS defence deal? Yes, nothing says sunshine like submarines.

🎺 And in the USA, Trump’s latest parade blares its way through logic and decency—again.


💬 Expect sharp satire, international nonsense, and at least one excellent pun.


📺 Watch our visual fantasy-comedy show Realms Unknown on YouTube.


Produced by Chris Skinner and Laura Turner. And Chris's dog Daphne.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
