It's Boxing Day on The Trawl, which means Marina and Jemma are fuelled by cheese, chaos and the most baffling headlines Britain has to offer. Join them as they sift through the festive madness: reality‑TV absurdity, BBC lawsuits, and the government's latest attempt to turn violence against women into a culture‑war chew toy. They dig into Jess Phillips' new proposals, the backlash from the usual suspects, and the data that certain politicians would rather ignore. Also featuring: Cilla Black fever dreams, Tom Skinner's Strictly meltdown, and a surprising amount of cheese.A perfect blend of silliness, sharpness and Stilton‑powered clarity.Thank you for sharing and please do follow us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcastPatreonhttps://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcastYoutubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawlTwitterhttps://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcastIf you've even mildly enjoyed The Trawl, you'll love the unfiltered, no-holds-barred extras from Jemma & Marina over on Patreon, including:• Exclusive episodes of The Trawl Goss – where Jemma and Marina spill backstage gossip, dive into their personal lives, and often forget the mic is on• Early access to The Trawl Meets…• Glorious ad-free episodesPlus, there's a bell-free community of over 3,300 legends sparking brilliant chat.And it's your way to support the pod which the ladies pour their hearts, souls (and occasional anxiety) into.

It's Christmas Eve at The Trawl HQ and the cheese is flowing, the Scrooged button is armed, and Marina and Jemma are doing their level best not to spiral.Instead, they unwrap some unexpected festive joy as a trio of bell-ends Tommy Robinson, Jake Paul and Andrew Tate, discover the true meaning of consequences via the noble art of boxing. (Spoiler: pink gloves, broken jaws, and internet-wide schadenfreude feature heavily.)Stateside, karma keeps busy. From the Vanity Fair brouhaha to Trump's name mysteriously appearing on and disappearing from places it absolutely shouldn't, including the Kennedy Center and the Epstein files. Yes, those Epstein files. Thousands released, thousands redacted, and somehow one name missing entirely.Add in Nicki Minaj's excruciating Trump-era foot-in-mouth moment, some festive under rateds and a Christmas 'pudding' story that may ruin your appetite entirely and you've got a very Trawl Christmas indeed.Pour a stiff drink, pull on a metaphorical Christmas jumper, and join us.We'll be back on Boxing Day… obviously.Thank you for sharing and please do follow us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast Patreonhttps://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawl Twitterhttps://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcastIf you've even mildly enjoyed The Trawl, you'll love the unfiltered, no-holds-barred extras from Jemma & Marina over on Patreon, including:• Exclusive episodes of The Trawl Goss – where Jemma and Marina spill backstage gossip, dive into their personal lives, and often forget the mic is on• Early access to The Trawl Meets…• Glorious ad-free episodesPlus, there's a bell-free community of over 3,300 legends sparking brilliant chat.And it's your way to support the pod which the ladies pour their hearts, souls (and occasional anxiety) into.

In episode 301 of the podcast, we're joined by Ben Seitz (vocals, guitar), and Luke Shows (guitar) of the band Scarlet Street. We dig into their come up, early shows in Cincinnati, their creative way in which they marketed their latest release, and their excellent new album, ‘NO ALTERNATIVE', out now on We're Trying Records. This was a real fun one. We love getting into process with musicians as creative as Luke and Ben.

Regular Trawl listeners will know that every Trawl episode ends with a clip ‘pudding' a treat at the end of every show. Marina and Jemma select clips they find funny, poignant, stirring or entertaining for one reason or another and in this very festive edition of Trawl Meets the Trawl ladies welcome some of your very favourite puddings - Anthony Richardson from The Exploding Heads, Larry and Paul from Broken News fame PLUS one of their favourite Christmas crackers whose posts also regularly feature - the one, the only, Danny F'ing Price - the Instagram activist and all round legend. Expect clip highlights, Christmas quiz questions such as ‘what would Brexit look like if it was a jumper?' and a lot of insight into how these brilliantly funny people became the internet sensations they are - holding power (and angry men like Colin from Portsmouth) to account. Enjoy ✌

Love, Hypocrisy and a Rob Reiner Tribute It's the Friday episode and Marina Purkiss and Jemma Forte are running on festive fumes so prepare for rage, tears, laughs and a post Rob Reiner tribute snotty nose. It's a rollercoaster of an episode.The Trawl ladies start with the small lies we tell children (Father Christmas logistics remain shaky) before moving swiftly to Trump's grotesque response to tragedy which has sparked a proper reckoning and proves that the the late, great Rob Reiner was right about him all along.Jemma and Marina pay proper tribute to the wonderful movies he made and discuss why decency, humour and romance feel increasingly radical amidst the backdrop of modern politics.Then it's onto Trump's apparent desire to lead Europe (spoiler: Europe says absolutely not), before Jemma and Marina head back to Blighty where Reform UK continue their unstoppable streak of rank associations, racist dog whistles and jaw-dropping hypocrisy — from Bonnie Blue to Nigel Farage framing multilingual children as a “cultural threat”.They finish with a few glimmers of hope, and the usual much-needed palette cleansers, dad jokes and utter nonsense.Side effects may include sighing, eye-rolling, despair and the sudden urge to rewatch The Princess Bride and believe in true love all over again.Thank you for sharing and please do follow us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast Patreonhttps://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawl Twitterhttps://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcastIf you've even mildly enjoyed The Trawl, you'll love the unfiltered, no-holds-barred extras from Jemma & Marina over on Patreon, including:• Exclusive episodes of The Trawl Goss – where Jemma and Marina spill backstage gossip, dive into their personal lives, and often forget the mic is on• Early access to The Trawl Meets…• Glorious ad-free episodesPlus, there's a bell-free community of over 3,300 legends sparking brilliant chat.And it's your way to support the pod which the ladies pour their hearts, souls (and occasional anxiety) into.

Marina and Jemma are back with a Christmas-adjacent scroll through the internet so you don't have to.With the festive season fast approaching, they bring you thrift tips courtesy of Donald Trump (yes, really), as he explains why American children might have to settle for 'two dolls instead of thirty' all in the name of tariffs. Marie Antoinette, but make it MAGA.The Trawl ladies also take on the claim that Britain is somehow worse off than the United States, unpacking why that narrative doesn't stand up from gun laws to healthcare to basic reality.The episode then turns to two devastating mass shootings in the US and Australia, the heroism shown in the face of hate-fuelled violence, and the disturbing speed with which misinformation and outright fabrication spread online in their aftermath.Plus: Trump's response, a MAGA voter discovering too late what 'women's rights' actually means, and a new US policy that might just be the worst tourism advert in modern history.They end, as always, with some much-needed internet relief — underrated tweets and a very beautiful pudding.Scroll wisely, Trawlers.Thank you for sharing and please do follow us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast Patreonhttps://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawl Twitterhttps://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcastIf you've even mildly enjoyed The Trawl, you'll love the unfiltered, no-holds-barred extras from Jemma & Marina over on Patreon, including:• Exclusive episodes of The Trawl Goss – where Jemma and Marina spill backstage gossip, dive into their personal lives, and often forget the mic is on• Early access to The Trawl Meets…• Glorious ad-free episodesPlus, there's a bell-free community of over 3,300 legends sparking brilliant chat.And it's your way to support the pod which the ladies pour their hearts, souls (and occasional anxiety) into.

This Trawl kicks off with a little bit of Cilla Black, just like the old days. Then Jemma and Marina take a festive detour to check in on how Rossid Woods is coping with the season (spoiler: not brilliantly), and enjoy a very relatable warning about over-committing to plans.Then… unable to put it off any longer, they dive into the political storm of the week.Reform UK has received a record-breaking £9 million donation, the biggest political donation in British history. Marina and Jemma wade through what's been reported and the questions now being raised by Labour and the Lib Dems about transparency, potential conflicts of interest, and whether the Electoral Commission should investigate.Also on Farage's plate are the ongoing alleged racism controversies, and fresh allegations about campaign spending.Meanwhile, Charlie Mullins is explaining patriotism from the runway to Dubai and encouraging Brits to become economic migrants. Marina and Jemma unpack the week's biggest political messes so you don't have to. Bring snacks.

Jemma and Marina wade into a feed overflowing with colds, chaos and Christmas-level delusion and glide into today's central theme: the most powerful man in the world being treated like an overgrown baby.From FIFA inventing a brand-new prize seemingly just to flatter the White House resident, to clips of Trump lashing out at journalists, the infantilisation of global politics is truly in full swing. There's a painfully long World Cup draw, a sharp breakdown from commentator Adam Mockler, Liz Truss launching a new show (yes, really, and the one star reviews are in), and Flo & Joan with some much-needed musical therapy.Plus: Under Rateds Of The Week, reviews, a pudding from “This Hour Has 22 Minutes,” and all the festive nonsense you need to get through the week.Thank you for sharing and please do follow us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcastPatreonhttps://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcastYoutubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawlTwitterhttps://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcastIf you've even mildly enjoyed The Trawl, you'll love the unfiltered, no-holds-barred extras from Jemma & Marina over on Patreon, including:• Exclusive episodes of The Trawl Goss – where Jemma and Marina spill backstage gossip, dive into their personal lives, and often forget the mic is on• Early access to The Trawl Meets…• Glorious ad-free episodesPlus, there's a bell-free community of over 3,300 legends sparking brilliant chat.And it's your way to support the pod which the ladies pour their hearts, souls (and occasional anxiety) into.

Trawlers - what a week! In this truly wild instalment which is the first of THREE episodes this week. Marina and Jemma dive into the geopolitical chaos unfolding as Elon Musk throws a tantrum over an EU fine, Donald Trump unveils a National Security Strategy that is strangely pleasing to Moscow, and Europe realises the US have become the enemy.We also check in on Melania Trump's festive storytelling skills, Trump's habit of nodding off, and there's an excruciating Elon-on-a-podcast moment that doesn't demonstrate why people call him a genius.Plus: Trevor Noah nails America-vs-Europe hypocrisy, and of course, as ever, there's a delicious Pudding.Kremlin cheerleading, Christmas monotones and a billionaire losing the plot.

In episode 299 of the podcast, we're joined by Jess Margera (drums) and Mike Leon (bass) of the band CKY.We dig into their recent tour of the UK, Mike joining the band, being the coolest band in the world (our words), and their excellent new track, ‘Can't Stop Running'. This was an absolute blast, Mike and Jess fit right in to the Podioslave world. We're excited for what they have planned for 2026, and you should be too!We start the episode with an announcement from our friends at Iodine Recordings (@iodinerecordings).

Christmas is coming, and so is the unhinged consumerism. Jemma and Marina kick off with Quality Street meltdowns, £9 hot chocolates and the most pointless gifts known to humankind, before swan-diving into the real seasonal horror: politics.Meanwhile, across the pond, Trump's week has been a carnival of chaos. From Oval Office rants and sexist jabs at reporters, to killing-without-trial allegations involving his newly promoted “War Secretary” Pete Hegseth, and a wildly hypocritical pardon, your jaws will be left on the floor. Then it's Venezuela, airspace brinkmanship, and a potential war brewing while MAGA pretends everything's fine.There are billionaire bros at the Ukraine-Russia peace table, a leaked “peace plan” which looks like a kleptocrat's wish list.Crazy geo politics, Christmas rage, capitalism on steroids, Vogue's worst recipe crime and an Underrated of the Week that'll make you cry-laugh.Another wild week.

It's been a week of karaoke meltdowns, pleather-skirt floor-crawling and a rusty saw nightmare… and yet Marina and Jemma are more determined than ever to get behind the mic to discuss the latest batshittery from the world of news and politics.They dive into the spectacular chaos of Your Party, and ponder the finally-we're-saying-it-out-loud national acceptance that Brexit is absolute dogshit, before analysing an absurd week of headlines that prove the tabloids are still going for Rachel Reeves with pretty vicious vengeance.There's also some tree-surgeon flag-shaggery, Reform UK chaos and the delicious irony of David Coburn shouting about sovereignty from his French château. Plus: Jonathan Gullis has swapped sinking ships.

Marina and Jemma meet actress, Loose Woman and all round legend Nadia Sawalha. The Trawl ladies couldn't wait to chat to Nadia and to find out what it's been like using her huge Instagram platform to speak out about Gaza and to advocate for the Palestinians. They talk about juggling life as a Loose Woman whilst having a political voice, the consequences of speaking out and what her guilty pleasures are. There's relationship chat and Jemma finds out for sure, something she's suspected for a while. A warm, funny chat with a wonderful woman.

In this Trawl, Jemma and Marina dive into the political earthquake shaking Reform UK after former Welsh leader Nathan Gill was jailed for taking bribes linked to pro-Russian interests. With the party insisting there's no need for an internal investigation, social media has been left... unconvinced.We pick through the online reaction, the disbelief, and the dark humour as Westminster scrambles to respond. From Farage's denials over his own past controversies to questions about transparency inside Reform, the timeline is an absolute mess and the internet has thoughts.Plus: the memes, the meltdowns, and the moments that defined a week where one conviction sets off a political chain reaction.Thank you for sharing and please do follow us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast Patreonhttps://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawl Twitterhttps://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcastIf you've even mildly enjoyed The Trawl, you'll love the unfiltered, no-holds-barred extras from Jemma & Marina over on Patreon, including:• Exclusive episodes of The Trawl Goss – where Jemma and Marina spill backstage gossip, dive into their personal lives, and often forget the mic is on• Early access to The Trawl Meets…• Glorious ad-free episodesPlus, there's a bell-free community of over 3,300 legends sparking brilliant chat.And it's your way to support the pod which the ladies pour their hearts, souls (and occasional anxiety) into.

Brace yourselves, trawlers... Marina and Jemma are back and flailing through another chaotic week online. In this episode they dive into everything: Musk's unhinged Grok responses, the bot-farm MAGA fiasco, and a Musk appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast that is so painfully sad it should come with a health warning.Then it's onto the budget: the leak, the playground antics from Kemi Badenoch's and the most compelling and layman's terms summary of the whole thing you'll ever hear. There's ranting, there's cackling, and there's an incredibly moving moment from Channel 4's Go Back To Where You Came From documentary, plus Mike Graham (who now has a lot of spare time on his hands), manages to be more unhinged than ever.

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.

In episode 297 of the podcast, we look back on 25 years of Papa Roach's “Infest”.We dig into our early memories of the record, how we were the perfect age for a band like Papa Roach and this record in particular, its explosion once “Last Resort” took hold, its legacy and Papa Roach becoming massive to this day, and so much more. This record still held up for us, so we had to give it the Podioslave treatment.We start the episode with a game surrounding some of the eras nu metal titans and how they are just as relevant today as ever. Podcast theme performed by Trawl.

Jemma and Marina are back, sifting through another load of digital debris so you don't have to. Luckily, the weekend is in sight… though Christmas is also looming, the cosi-livs crisis continues to chew through bank accounts, and the UK's politicians? Well, they're arguing amongst themselves as usual.The Trawl ladies check in on the incoming budget, beautifully skewered by Cody Dahler, before plunging into the asylum “crackdown” that many Labour backbenchers are struggling to defend. Jemma and Marina explore the prospect of refugees building 15 years of life in the UK… only to be told “tara mate, off you pop” when their home country is reclassified as “safe”.LBC's Tom Swarbrick is quite happy with what's being mooted, but the Greens are not having it. Zack Polanski blows a gasket, at Labour's “give us your jewellery” approach.Marina and Jemma talk polling, panic, the pointless race to the bottom and why none of this actually solves the inequality at the heart of the problem.Then, in true Trawl fashion, they veer sideways to a DOGE update, and a chef's-kiss Pudding from Munya Chawawa.Another week. Another avalanche of nonsense.

This is Part 2 of an Epstein emails Trawl deep dive. Once again, Marina and Jemma dive into the online storm surrounding newly unsealed Epstein-related documents and the political reactions that have set social media ablaze. From Megyn Kelly's widely-shared comments to the way his most cultish followers are handling it, the Trawl ladies explore how the discourse spiralled, who said what, and why the internet collectively has lost its mind.Jemma and Marina also look at the New York Times' much-mocked headline, examine how different factions are spinning the story, and discuss what these reactions reveal about broader culture-war dynamics.It's a wild week online — chaotic, furious, meme-heavy — and The Trawl is wading through it so you don't have to.Thank you for sharing and please do follow us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast Patreonhttps://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawl Twitterhttps://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcastIf you've even mildly enjoyed The Trawl, you'll love the unfiltered, no-holds-barred extras from Jemma & Marina over on Patreon, including:• Exclusive episodes of The Trawl Goss – where Jemma and Marina spill backstage gossip, dive into their personal lives, and often forget the mic is on• Early access to The Trawl Meets…• Glorious ad-free episodesPlus, there's a bell-free community of over 3,300 legends sparking brilliant chat.And it's your way to support the pod which the ladies pour their hearts, souls (and occasional anxiety) into.

This Trawl comes in TWO PARTS because there was simply too much to cram into just one episode. This episode has Jemma and Marina diving face-first into the internet's latest swamp: the Elon–Trump–Epstein–AI hell-spiral nobody asked for but everybody is talking about. From Grok's “alternative facts” rewriting reality in real time, to the newly released Epstein emails, which are lighting up X like a Christmas tree in hell, they break down the stories the press are tiptoeing around. The ones Fox News would rather swallow its own tongue than cover.Marina and Jemma look at what the emails actually show, wonder who Bubba might be and have a live 'this is two episodes' moment. There's also 'that' Piggy moment to rage at and Marjorie Taylor Greene's epiphany to discuss.It's politics, chaos and receipts — trawled so you don't have to. Part two will be in your ears tomorrowThank you for sharing and do tweet us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast Patreonhttps://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawl Twitterhttps://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcastIf you've even mildly enjoyed The Trawl, you'll love the unfiltered, no-holds-barred extras from Jemma & Marina over on Patreon, including:• Exclusive episodes of The Trawl Goss – where Jemma and Marina spill backstage gossip, dive into their personal lives, and often forget the mic is on• Early access to The Trawl Meets…• Glorious ad-free episodesPlus, there's a bell-free community of over 3,300 legends sparking brilliant chat.And it's your way to support the pod which the ladies pour their hearts, souls (and occasional anxiety) into.

In episode 296 of the podcast, we talk to Kevin Palmer (guitar, vocals) and Josh Moates (bass) of the band TRUSTcompany.We dig into their early days and formation, early shows in Alabama, signing to a major label, creating their major label debut (The Lonely Position of Neutral) with the likes of Don Gilmore, and their recent comeback/what's next for the band. This was one we've wanted to do for the entirety of the life of the podcast.

In this episode of The Trawl, Jemma and Marina dive head-first into a planet-sized pile of billionaire bullshit — starting with the news that Elon Musk is on track to become the world's first trillionaire. Yes, trillionaire. As in: “bigger than the GDP of Saudi Arabia” trillionaire.They roll out a brand-new listener-made jingle for the “Trickle Down Update of the Week” and ask: What on earth is Tesla doing? internet?And as the Epstein situation develops, Trump is playing chicken with the food-stamp programme that keeps 42 million Americans fed. Payments frozen, families panicking, the Supreme Court involved, and Trump using hunger as a bargaining chip. Marina and Jemma discuss the fallout, the food-bank queues, the voters caught in the middle, and the grim Oval Office moment that shows exactly how little he cares.Then: chaos at The New York Times, where a catastrophically misjudged opinion piece sparks the question: who keeps approving this?!And finally, JoJoFromJerz delivers pudding - a clip that lands somewhere between cathartic, furious, poignant and funny.Enjoy!Thank you for sharing and do tweet us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast Patreonhttps://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawl Twitterhttps://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcastIf you've even mildly enjoyed The Trawl, you'll love the unfiltered, no-holds-barred extras from Jemma & Marina over on Patreon, including:• Exclusive episodes of The Trawl Goss – where Jemma and Marina spill backstage gossip, dive into their personal lives, and often forget the mic is on• Early access to The Trawl Meets…• Glorious ad-free episodesPlus, there's a bell-free community of over 3,300 legends sparking brilliant chat.And it's your way to support the pod which the ladies pour their hearts, souls (and occasional anxiety) into.

From baked potatoes to pension raids, it's another rollercoaster week in the weird and woeful world of UK politics.Jemma and Marina pay tribute to the glorious Pauline Collins, salute a life well lived, and then plunge straight into the nation's latest highs and lows, including the latest (Not Prince) Andrew news. It involves a late night snack and what amounts to culinary catastrophe frankly. Somehow this segues into chat about Kim K's thongs with a difference, and Rachel Reeves apparently testing just how unpopular she can make saving for retirement.Throw in a Tory montage, some tax turmoil, and a side of existential dread, and you've got a trawl that's equal parts hilarious and horrifying.Thank you for sharing and do tweet us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast Patreonhttps://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawl Twitterhttps://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcastIf you've even mildly enjoyed The Trawl, you'll love the unfiltered, no-holds-barred extras from Jemma & Marina over on Patreon, including:• Exclusive episodes of The Trawl Goss – where Jemma and Marina spill backstage gossip, dive into their personal lives, and often forget the mic is on• Early access to The Trawl Meets…• Glorious ad-free episodesPlus, there's a bell-free community of over 3,300 legends sparking brilliant chat.And it's your way to support the pod which the ladies pour their hearts, souls (and occasional anxiety) into.

This week on The Trawl, Jemma Forte and Marina Purkiss are knee-deep in the latest wave of outrage from poppy politics to a BBC in apparent crisis.As Remembrance Sunday came and went, the usual suspects found new ways to weaponise the poppy, turning a moment of reflection into yet another battle in the culture war. Jemma and Marina unpick the hypocrisy, the viral clips, and the veteran being used for clicks.Then, it's onto the Beeb: two top resignations, a leaked memo, and a right-wing press party that smells blood. Is this really about “bias” or something far more coordinated? The pair dive into how the BBC's latest wobble has been spun into a full-blown assault on public broadcasting.With new jingles (thank you, Simon Brown), the usual sound effects, and plenty of righteous rage, this is The Trawl doing what it does best — diving deep into the week's digital nonsense so you don't have to.Thank you for sharing and do tweet us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast Patreonhttps://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawl Twitterhttps://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcastIf you've even mildly enjoyed The Trawl, you'll love the unfiltered, no-holds-barred extras from Jemma & Marina over on Patreon, including:• Exclusive episodes of The Trawl Goss – where Jemma and Marina spill backstage gossip, dive into their personal lives, and often forget the mic is on• Early access to The Trawl Meets…• Glorious ad-free episodesPlus, there's a bell-free community of over 3,300 legends sparking brilliant chat.And it's your way to support the pod which the ladies pour their hearts, souls (and occasional anxiety) into.

In episode 295 of the podcast, we're joined by Randy Bradbury (guitars/vocals) and Cameron Webb (bass) of the SoCal punk bank 84 Days. We dig into the formation of the band, how quickly the idea came together to create a full length, their friendship throughout the years as collaborators, working with Adrian Young of No Doubt on the drums, and their stellar new self-titled album that just dropped on Double Helix Records. You can tell listening to Cameron and Randy talk that they've been a great team for years. Whether it be Cameron producing Randy and Pennywise's material, or in this new venture with 84 Days.

It's a week of whiplash on The Trawl. Marina and Jemma begin with words - literally - as they find the perfect Susie Dent–style term to capture the emotional chaos of the moment. From there, it's a hard swerve into horrors too big to scroll past: Netanyahu's meltdown over leaked footage from a detention centre, the ongoing genocide in Sudan, and why it's practically impossible to absorb it all.But even in the darkness, the absurdities keep coming. Trump throws a “Great Gatsby” party (because of course he does), JD Vance gets intimate AF on stage with Erika Kirk and Marina and Jemma have a chat about the pros and cons of plether leggings.In the Under Rated section Billie Eilish restores a little faith in humanity by donating $11 million to feed the hungry.From genocide to greed, from linguistics to lunacy, Jemma and Marina trawl through a week that shows us the best and worst of what we are.Thank you for sharing and do tweet us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast Patreonhttps://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawl Twitterhttps://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcastIf you've even mildly enjoyed The Trawl, you'll love the unfiltered, no-holds-barred extras from Jemma & Marina over on Patreon, including:• Exclusive episodes of The Trawl Goss – where Jemma and Marina spill backstage gossip, dive into their personal lives, and often forget the mic is on• Early access to The Trawl Meets…• Glorious ad-free episodesPlus, there's a bell-free community of over 3,300 legends sparking brilliant chat.And it's your way to support the pod which the ladies pour their hearts, souls (and occasional anxiety) into.

Marina and Jemma are riding a rare and glorious wave of optimism because on November 5th, New York City elected Zohran Mamdani as mayor. A progressive, principled, hope-restoring human who didn't just beat the billionaire class - he trounced them. The internet rejoiced, Fox News melted down, and various billionaires were left clutching their pearls.Marina and Jemma revel in the joy of seeing an actual adult take charge, explore the ripple effects of Mamdani's win from Mississippi to Manhattan, and ask the big question: could Britain ever have its own Mamdani moment? Over to you Zack Polanski.Plus: Prince Andrew's latest rebrand, a Piers Morgan self-own and a glorious Cody Dahler pudding.A hopeful scroll through the best kind of timeline where decency wins, billionaires sulk, and Jemma cries more than she did at the John Lewis Christmas ad.Thank you for sharing and do tweet us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast Patreonhttps://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawl Twitterhttps://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcastIf you've even mildly enjoyed The Trawl, you'll love the unfiltered, no-holds-barred extras from Jemma & Marina over on Patreon, including:• Exclusive episodes of The Trawl Goss – where Jemma and Marina spill backstage gossip, dive into their personal lives, and often forget the mic is on• Early access to The Trawl Meets…• Glorious ad-free episodesPlus, there's a bell-free community of over 3,300 legends sparking brilliant chat.And it's your way to support the pod which the ladies pour their hearts, souls (and occasional anxiety) into.

This week on The Trawl, Marina and Jemma wade through a week so grim it makes the John Lewis Christmas ad look like a cry for help.From Rachel Reeves' gloomy pre-budget spin to Nigel Farage's bright idea that young people should earn less (apparently poverty builds character), the Trawl ladies cover it all. There's a reality check on the cost of living, a brutal look at the online reaction to the LNER train stabbings, and a dose of festive existentialism courtesy of Waitrose and a raver dad.It's politics, propaganda and pudding bowls of hypocrisy — all served with the usual mix of outrage, wit, and a few well-aimed “go f*** yourselfs”.Thank you for sharing and do tweet us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast Patreonhttps://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawl Twitterhttps://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcastIf you've even mildly enjoyed The Trawl, you'll love the unfiltered, no-holds-barred extras from Jemma & Marina over on Patreon, including:• Exclusive episodes of The Trawl Goss – where Jemma and Marina spill backstage gossip, dive into their personal lives, and often forget the mic is on• Early access to The Trawl Meets…• Glorious ad-free episodesPlus, there's a bell-free community of over 3,300 legends sparking brilliant chat.And it's your way to support the pod which the ladies pour their hearts, souls (and occasional anxiety) into.

In episode 294 of the podcast, we chat with Marcos Siega, director of some of our favorite music videos of all time. We dig into Marcos' roots as a NYHC kid, his start in directing with music videos, and we drill down on videos from Papa Roach, System of a Down, Blink-182 and many others. Marcos is a music nerd at heart, just like us, so naturally we loved getting the behind the scenes of some of the biggest music videos of the late 90s and early 2000s. Check out Marcos' work on Dexter: Resurrection, You, Dexter: New Blood and countless other projects.

Nigel's on strike because he's not getting enough questions at PMQ'S (widdums), Reform's spending a lot of money on flags, and Trump's throwing tariffs about whenever he has a tantrum. This week The Trawl is overflowing with fragile egos, bad maths and moral bankruptcy.Marina and Jemma pick apart Nigel Farage's latest pity party, Trump's gold-plated meltdown over a Canadian ad, and the jaw-dropping Gaza “masterplan” that sounds more like a property pitch than diplomacy.There are of course moments of actual joy: Finland's women-led happiness and some cracking Under Rated's.All that, plus jokes, rage, and the sort of catharsis only The Trawl can deliver.Enjoy!Thank you for sharing and do tweet us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast Patreonhttps://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawl Twitterhttps://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcastIf you've even mildly enjoyed The Trawl, you'll love the unfiltered, no-holds-barred extras from Jemma & Marina over on Patreon, including:• Exclusive episodes of The Trawl Goss – where Jemma and Marina spill backstage gossip, dive into their personal lives, and often forget the mic is on• Early access to The Trawl Meets…• Glorious ad-free episodesPlus, there's a bell-free community of over 3,300 legends sparking brilliant chat.And it's your way to support the pod which the ladies pour their hearts, souls (and occasional anxiety) into.

It's a proper shit sandwich this week, Trawlers — a little light snack, a heavy main course and a very hopeful bite to finish. Followed, of course, as ever by a delicious pudding.This episode starts with bad news for snack lovers - Penguin bars are no longer technically chocolate (cheers, climate change). Then, Jemma and Marina bite into the grim meat of it all: the racism notch in British politics. From Reform MP Sarah Pochin's rant about “too many foreigners in adverts” to Katie Lam's calls for “cultural coherence,” it's open season for dog whistles. Marina and Jemma discuss how this stuff stopped being whispered and started being cheered. Though rest assured they've also trawled away and come up with plenty of wonderful clips and takes to offset it all, because it goes without saying, millions of people do not feel the same. Which brings them onto the recent council by- election results and what happened in Caerphilly. Wonderful. Reform's balloon well and truly popped.Details of the charity art auction that Jemma mentioned are as follows - ART AUCTION FOR PALESTINE : BID FOR HOPE auction hosts @wynnesteve & @hanazidek . Join them for a instagram live at @hope_and_play_charity on : SUNDAY 30 NOVEMBER at 7pmThey will showcase the artwork, introduce the artists and give you a chance to have a closer look at the work.There will also be a live Q&A with Emma from Hope and Play.

In episode 293 of the podcast, we look back on 25 years of A Perfect Circle's ‘Mer De Noms'We dig into our early memories of the record, the nature of the band's genesis, its haunting and beautiful musical vibe, Maynard's vocal performance, and much more.

This week on The Trawl, Jemma and Marina wade through a global cesspit of power, propaganda and, quite literally, poo.From Donald Trump's unhinged AI fantasy, featuring himself as a crowned Top Gun pilot dropping actual sewage on protesters, to the real-life horror of leaked GOP group chats filled with racist bile, America is plumbing new depths. Meanwhile, back in Blighty, Tesco's being called out, M&S thinks it's Harrods, and the Palace is in a PR panic as Prince Andrew's name re-enters the headlines ahead of Virginia Giuffre's posthumous memoir.Thank goodness for characters like Zohran Mandami who aren't afraid to hold powerful men to account for their sleazy misdemeanours and indeed crimes. There's hypocrisy, hubris, and high-octane nonsense on both sides of the pond — plus your usual Underrated Clips and Tweets of the week. Grab your waders, Trawlers.

This Week on The Trawl it's winners and losers time... and Reform appear to be losing in a rather spectacular fashion. Marina and Jemma break down the implosion: Russian ties, disappearing councillors, and a Kent council Zoom meltdown that makes Jackie Weaver look like a stateswoman. Oh, and Nigel Farage's partner? She's now reportedly embroiled in a criminal probe over alleged EU fund fraud. Suddenly it's all looking a bit spicy...Meanwhile, the Greens are quietly stacking up wins, the Lib Dems are snatching by-elections, and Reform's “party of business” can't even file VAT properly. If this is their political auditions, they're flunking hard.Then it's the Aston Villa vs. Maccabi Tel Aviv saga, where British politicians united to defend a fanbase banned for racist violence. The outrage machine kicked into action and Starmer ended up looking like a massive bell after the Israeli police banned their own fans - unless of course they're antisemitic too? Plus: Celia Imrie's viral moment, Traitors spoilers (don't worry, none here), and Tommy Robinson's baffling football pivot to Tel Aviv Yellow. It's football, farce, and fury - with a side of righteous indignation.Thank you for sharing and do tweet us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast Patreonhttps://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawl Twitterhttps://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcastIf you've even mildly enjoyed The Trawl, you'll love the unfiltered, no-holds-barred extras from Jemma & Marina over on Patreon, including:• Exclusive episodes of The Trawl Goss – where Jemma and Marina spill backstage gossip, dive into their personal lives, and often forget the mic is on• Early access to The Trawl Meets…• Glorious ad-free episodesPlus, there's a bell-free community of over 3,300 legends sparking brilliant chat.And it's your way to support the pod which the ladies pour their hearts, souls (and occasional anxiety) into.

In episode 292 of the podcast, we give MGMT's first album, ‘Oracular Spectacular', the Podioslave treatment. We're joined by friend of the pod, Kevin K. AKA “PRJCT MGR”. We dig into our early memories of the record, the production, the perfect side A, and everything in between. This record was a monster in the moment, and hold's up extremely well. We start the podcast talking about Kevin's new music, under the name PRJCT MGR. A new song is out TODAY, and you should definitely go spin it. It was co-produced by the multi talented Ep 280 guest Dave Gutter. Maine Gang stays on top! Check out PRJCT MGR here:IG: @prjctmgrPodcast theme performed by Trawl.

Jemma and Marina begin by playing tribute to the incomparable Diane Keaton, Hollywood icon and absolute legend, who sadly died on October 11th at the age of 79.Then, the Trawl ladies dive headfirst into the political mayhem: there are some Zack Polanski clips to stir you up and news on how the Greens are seeing a surge in popularity and indeed the polls, which can only be attributed to his refreshing approach. His style of comms is best demonstrated during a moment of “Penis Chat” chaos courtesy of Piers Morgan (of course).Marina and Jemma unpack why boldness matters so much in this political moment, how one CEO proved trickle-down economics is a con, and why Farage's latest U-turn reeks of desperation. Plus: there's Russian connections, media silence, soybeans (yep), and a truly excellent pudding.Thank you for sharing and do tweet us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast Patreonhttps://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawl Twitterhttps://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcastIf you've even mildly enjoyed The Trawl, you'll love the unfiltered, no-holds-barred extras from Jemma & Marina over on Patreon, including:• Exclusive episodes of The Trawl Goss – where Jemma and Marina spill backstage gossip, dive into their personal lives, and often forget the mic is on• Early access to The Trawl Meets…• Glorious ad-free episodesPlus, there's a bell-free community of over 3,300 legends sparking brilliant chat.And it's your way to support the pod which the ladies pour their hearts, souls (and occasional anxiety) into.

Trump really wanted a Nobel Peace Prize. Trump didn't get a Nobel Peace Prize. And we're starting this week's Trawl with that delicious fact.From his ego-fuelled reaction to the prize going elsewhere, to his grotesque grandstanding in Israel and Egypt, it's all in this episode. Trump is centre stage of course, having engineered a ceasefire and subsequent deal which is now to be thrashed out by various leaders, just not the Palestinian authorities.Marina and Jemma discuss it all, the ceasefire, Netanyahu, Starmer's attempts at diplomacy cosplay, Trump forcing world leaders into awkward praise, and the very sinister undertones behind the right's rhetoric. There's even a Roman historian moment, and of course… PUDDING.Pudding is a beautiful poem by Hussain Manawar. It's called Unity - Enjoy!

Marina and Jemma were delighted to welcome the new leader of the Green Party onto the pod.Will he consider a rebrand? Would he form a strategic alliance if it helped prevent a Reform government and how much ‘banquet balderdash' would he tolerate from Trump if he was PM? Find out this and so much more in this latest instalment of The Trawl Meets.

At time of record, the world is waiting to see if a peace deal in the Middle East has been achieved. Jemma and Marina hope with every bit of them it happens but also discuss what it might, or might not mean, in reality. Then they pay tribute to some remarkable women - Jilly Cooper, and Dr. Jane Goodall - trailblazers in their own right who entertained, inspired, and made the world better. They also touch on a very Trawly online spat featuring none other than Livia Firth, serving up some chef's kiss sass to Esther McVey.Then they wade into the Tory conference because..... someone has to. Kemi Badenoch is channelling Doge and Musk and wants to emulate ICE, Chris Philp delivers a speech that could double as a David Brent sketch, and they can't spell.Across the pond, Trump's mask slips even further as Project 25 edges closer to reality. Fascism's no longer hiding and America's veterans and voters are reacting. But with key right-wing voices starting to break ranks and Democrats finally showing some teeth, is a turning point coming?Finally, this week's pudding is a moving final message from the incomparable Jane Goodall. A quiet reminder of grace, courage and hope and a stark contrast to the political nonsense the Trawl ladies have trawled through on your behalf.Thank you for sharing and do tweet us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast Patreonhttps://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawl Twitterhttps://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcastIf you've even mildly enjoyed The Trawl, you'll love the unfiltered, no-holds-barred extras from Jemma & Marina over on Patreon, including:• Exclusive episodes of The Trawl Goss – where Jemma and Marina spill backstage gossip, dive into their personal lives, and often forget the mic is on• Early access to The Trawl Meets…• Glorious ad-free episodesPlus, there's a bell-free community of over 3,300 legends sparking brilliant chat.And it's your way to support the pod which the ladies pour their hearts, souls (and occasional anxiety) into.

This week, Marina's on holiday and Jemma's steering the ship so expect one or two Trawl anomalies to have slipped through the net and, honestly, what a week to be at the helm.The Trawl ladies cover the horrific attack on the Jewish community in Manchester, Starmer's reaction, the subsequent mosque attack, and what happened to the flotillas carrying desperately needed aid that never made it through. Greta Thunberg proves, once again, she's got more moral clarity than most world leaders, while Trump and Tommy Robinson… do not.Meanwhile, Labour manage to disappoint on an Olympic scale, cracking down further on protest, while Zack Polanski reminds us what principled politics can actually sound like. Plus: Jemma and Marina bid farewell to national treasure Patricia Routledge.

In episode 290 of the podcast, we're joined by Sonia Sturino, vocalist and guitarist of Weakened Friends. We dig into their formation as a band, making a name for yourself as a band repping Maine, touring, and the writing process behind their excellent 3rd LP, ‘Feels Like Hell', out October 10th on Don Giovanni Records. We're huge fans of the new record, and this convo with Sonia was a blast. Check them out on their headlining tour this fall! Photo Credit: Shawn Robbins (@photorobbins)Check out Weakened Friends here:Web: https://www.weakenedfriends.com/IG: @weakenedfriendsTikTok: @weakenedfriendsmusicX: @wkndfriendsPodcast theme performed by Trawl.

This week, Jemma and Marina are asking: what if politicians actually faced consequences? Not a cosy resignation, not a fat book deal, not a pity gig on GB News - but actual jail time. A girl can dream...Sounds like science fiction if you live in Britain, but elsewhere in the world it's apparently… a thing.In Brazil, Bolsonaro just bagged 27 years in prison for trying to cling to power - proof that karma occasionally gets out of bed. In France, Sarkozy is staring down five years for a Gaddafi-linked corruption scandal (yes, that Gaddafi - the one with the all-female bodyguard squad). And in Nepal? Gen Z set fire to Parliament and voted in a new Prime Minister while ministers literally dangled from rescue helicopters. Meanwhile here in the UK, our big act of rebellion is 100,000 plus raking to the streets to protest the exact things billionaires and think tanks told them to be mad about. Across the pond, Trump has decided Portland is a “war zone” and sent in troops - only to be met with locals posting pictures of rainbow-knitted trees, therapy llamas and burrito joints. So buckle up for another trawl through political carnage: from world leaders in courtrooms, to wannabe despots in helicopters, to Britain's unique ability to turn corruption into a career move.Thank you for sharing and do tweet us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast Patreonhttps://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawl Twitterhttps://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcastIf you've even mildly enjoyed The Trawl, you'll love the unfiltered, no-holds-barred extras from Jemma & Marina over on Patreon, including:• Exclusive episodes of The Trawl Goss – where Jemma and Marina spill backstage gossip, dive into their personal lives, and often forget the mic is on• Early access to The Trawl Meets…• Glorious ad-free episodesPlus, there's a bell-free community of over 3,300 legends sparking brilliant chat.And it's your way to support the pod which the ladies pour their hearts, souls (and occasional anxiety) into.

Jemma and Marina are back, rummaging through the week's digital wreckage and pulling out the bits that made us laugh, rage, and despair in equal measure.We start, bizarrely, with golf. Yes, golf. The Ryder Cup turned into a geopolitical soap opera, with Rory McIlroy flying the flag, throwing shade, and still finding time to get soppy about his wife. Then it's on to the Labour Party conference, a rollercoaster of highs and lows and touch upon Starmer's interview with Laura Kuenssberg which was promptly chewed up and spat out by all the usual suspects to misquote him into oblivion.Meanwhile, Reform proved once again that when they're not playing victim which appears to be their new schtick, they're busy starring in their own corruption scandal. One of their ex-leaders has pleaded guilty to eight counts of bribery. Eight. Not even Tories manage those numbers.Thank you for sharing and do tweet us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast Patreonhttps://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawl Twitterhttps://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcastIf you've even mildly enjoyed The Trawl, you'll love the unfiltered, no-holds-barred extras from Jemma & Marina over on Patreon, including:• Exclusive episodes of The Trawl Goss – where Jemma and Marina spill backstage gossip, dive into their personal lives, and often forget the mic is on• Early access to The Trawl Meets…• Glorious ad-free episodesPlus, there's a bell-free community of over 3,300 legends sparking brilliant chat.And it's your way to support the pod which the ladies pour their hearts, souls (and occasional anxiety) into.

In episode 287 of the podcast, we're joined by Ryan Zwiefelhofer (bass) and Kaylan Cloyd (guitar) of the band Acceptance. We dig into 20 years of ‘Phantoms', from their early signing to Columbia Records, its initial release, and their decision to re-record it with guest features from the likes of Teddy Swims, Alex Gaskarth (All Time Low) and many others.  ‘Phantoms' is a record we hold near and dear to the pod, and it was a blast to find out the behind the scenes stories of its creation and the band breathing new life into it now, 20 years later. ‘Phantoms/Twenty' is out now on Equal Vision Records.
