• Stop Resisting
    Feb 25 2025

    Tiff Stevenson and Anuvab Pal join Andy Zaltzman for more of your finest bullshit bookended satire.


    This week, the team report on Germany's tentative shift to the right, Trump wondering why 'dictator' Zelenskyy, Starmer and Macron have done nothing to end Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Liz Truss urging 'Elon's nerd army' to examine Britain's 'deep state' and - in comparatively normal news - Amazon buying James Bond.


    Meanwhile, Anuvab's yoga teacher imparts some wisdom to apply to all of the above.


    Listen in for top-tier satire, incisive analysis, and the usual dose of nonsense.
