¡El apocalipsis zombie llega al DC Universe! Es una larga tradición en los cómics que se utilicen líneas temporales o Tierras paralelas para contar historias con estos personajes partiendo de la premisa "¿qué pasaría si...?" Sí, sabemos que plantearlo así es más bien de Marvel, pero en cualquier caso eso no quita que esta historia justamente plantea esa pregunta: ¿qué pasaría si el Universo DC, habitado por sus más grandes héroes, se viera azotado por una epidemia zombie... que quizás ellos mismos no son capaces de contener? Eso es lo que intenta responder esta miniserie de 6 números guionados por el inoxidable Tom Taylor junto con Trevor Hairsine en la parte gráfica, en una historia llena de situaciones límite, corazón, desolación, y mucho más. ▶ Encontranos en nuestras redes: IVOOX: https://bit.ly/3vKq8FE SPOTIFY: https://spoti.fi/3hJzh9g INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/heroes.radio Cafecito: https://cafecito.app/heroesradio Apple Podcast: https://bit.ly/3VkP3fV Google Podcast: https://bit.ly/3vgwM8U
Who let the flags out? We look at the mania for running a Cross of St George or Union Jack up the nearest lamp-post, who's fomenting it and why it's smart but dangerous politics for the far-right. Meanwhile Nigel Farage launches his completely uncosted, unrealistic, fantasy plan for mass deportations. Are the press so completely on the Reform bandwagon that they'll just let it go unquestioned? Our special guest David Klemperer puts the case for compulsory voting and why it solves more problems than you think. And in the Extra Bit for Patreon people: TfL and the Tories team up against the scourge of people playing music on their phone speakers on public transport. Will they succeed – and what would we ban if we could?

He's climbing up a lamp-post near you to hang flags. He's smearing every immigrant in terms that would have got you kicked out of the Tories even five years ago. And he thinks he can lead the Conservatives. What turned Robert Jenrick from a non-threatening Cameroonist Tory into a trouble-stirring Cosplay Farage? Does he really believe in anything? Would he do a deal with Reform? Or would he merge with it? Rob Hutton, parliamentary sketchwriter for The Critic magazine, joins Andrew Harrison to discuss the hidden shallows of the man they still call “Robert Generic”. • Support us on Patreon for early episodes and more. • We are sponsored by Indeed.

The dog days of summer continue to be dominated by flags, boats and hotels. Will the migrant protests and freelance flag-raising burn out or will the Mail's dream of chaos in Britain come true? Plus as Trump's Ukraine “solution” stumbles on he floats the idea of more military occupations of American cities; the French government teeters; and the Great Mounjaro Shortage of 2025.

Ed Davey's reborn Lib Dems are on a 100-year high with 72 MPs and a shot at becoming the conscience of progressive Britain. So why do Reform get all the coverage? He joins our regulars to talk about fighting Farage, Labour's travails, the war on cruelty in politics, why all those General Election surfing and bungee stunts worked, and what the Lib Dems can get done in Parliament. “We've been the best opposition,” he tells Alison Phillips, Matt Green and Hannah Fearn.

But is there any truth behind his claims or is it just another alarmist soundbite?

Donald Trump promised to expose Jeffrey Epstein's secrets but now he's backing away, and the conspiracy crowd that once adored him is asking some serious questions.

And even if he does, what will it mean for the future of his party, beyond his time as president Today in The Bunker, Chris Jones is joined by Mike Rothschild, journalist and author of The Storm Is Upon Us: How QAnon Became a Movement, Cult, and Conspiracy Theory of Everything, to ask whether the Republican Party can survive its toxic entanglement with conspiracy theorists.

As Britain's finances worsen, pressure is building for Labour to bring in a wealth tax on the super-rich – not least because Rachel Reeves has ruled out pretty much every other tax. How would it work? How much would it raise? Who would pay? And would those poor billionaires really flee Britain if it happened? Stephen Kinsella of Patriotic Millionaires UK explains why we really do need to tax the rich (and why he doesn't mind if it's him). • Support us on Patreon for early episodes and more. • We are sponsored by Indeed.

Is Big Tech really as unstoppable as it looks? In recent months US courts and EU regulators have handed out major reverses to tech giants including Apple, Google, Amazon and Meta. Meanwhile Google search is becoming unusable, choked by ads and its own algorithm, and the growth of A.I. means Big Tech could become the victim of Bigger Tech. But at least the tech broligarchs have Trump on their side, right?
