The Trawl is the podcast that dives headfirst into the political chaos, media spin, and social media absurdity of the week - so you don’t have to.


Hosted by broadcasters and political commentators, Jemma Forte and Marina Purkiss, it’s part therapy, part takedown, and always unfiltered.


Each episode, Jemma and Marina trawl through the week’s most viral tweets, jaw-dropping headlines, and rage-inducing soundbites - offering sharp analysis, dark humour, and the occasional expletive. From Westminster to world affairs, they call out hypocrisy, amplify truth, and remind you that you’re not losing your mind - just living through it.


If you’ve ever shouted at the news or laughed through the tears, The Trawl is your people.

Trump ❤️ Mamdani: The Unrequited States of America

Trump ❤️ Mamdani: The Unrequited States of America

It’s beginning to look a lot like chaos, Trawlers! In this 'starting to feel' festive-but-feral episode, Jemma and Marina wade through glitter explosions, Christmas tree catastrophes and a BBC News bauble-gate blooper before heading straight into the most unexpected love story of the season: Donald Trump going full heart-eyes for New York’s new Mayor-elect, Zohran Mamdani.


What was meant to be an explosive Oval Office showdown somehow turned into a political rom-com, complete with cheesy poses and Trump posting Mamdani like a teenage crush. We unpack the memes, the madness and the moment Trump’s ego got speared by Cupid.


But don't get too cosy because from there it’s back to the grim stuff: Trump resharing posts calling for Democrats to be hung, a “peace plan” for Ukraine that appears to have been written in Moscow, Europe’s furious backlash, and the Kremlin fingerprints smeared all over MAGA’s online army.


Plus a bang-on satirical closer from Alex With Pen.


It’s festive, furious and fully unhinged - exactly how you like it. Enjoy!
