<p>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 <em>real</em> seasonal horror: politics.</p><br><p>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.</p><br><p>There are billionaire bros at the Ukraine-Russia peace table, a leaked “peace plan” which looks like a kleptocrat’s wish list.</p><br><p>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.</p><br><p>Another wild week. Another industrial-sized trawl.</p><br><p><br></p><p>Thank you for sharing and please do follow us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast</p><p> </p><p>Patreon</p><p><a href="https://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast</a></p><p> </p><p>Youtube</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawl" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawl</a></p><p> </p><p>Twitter</p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcast</a></p><p>If you’ve even mildly enjoyed The Trawl, you’ll love the unfiltered, no-holds-barred extras from Jemma & Marina over on Patreon, including:</p><br><p>• 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</p><p>• Early access to The Trawl Meets…</p><p>• Glorious ad-free episodes</p><br><p>Plus, there’s a bell-free community of over 3,300 legends sparking brilliant chat.</p><br><p>And it’s your way to support the pod which the ladies pour their hearts, souls (and occasional anxiety) into.
