This week, Andy Zaltzman is joined by David O’Doherty and Alice Fraser to deliver your weekly fix of democracy despair, snake news, and historical nonsense.


🗳️ Top Story: Global Democracy Update — The world is somehow both leaning towards and veering away from Donald Trump. We check in on:


  • Australia, where going viral now involves saying racist things in chip shops 🍟
  • The UK, where a party that is definitely not far-right (and will sue you if you say otherwise) made gains 🏴
  • And Ireland, where we mark the first hundred days of government with a sigh, a shrug, and mild confusion ☘️


🌍 Also this week: Remember when Net Zero was an actual goal and not just a vague eco-dream whispered into the wind? Good times.


🐍 In Snake News: one man basically conquers snakes by letting them bite him. Yes, this is a real story. Yes, he’s probably not okay.


📚 Plus, we look back at Tennessee banning the teaching of evolution (because that could never happen again, right?), and the thrill of the first four-minute mile.
