Summary
Your opportunity to traverse retrospectively through the highlights of the 24 hour news cycle from this week, that was brought to you by THAT Alice Fraser on The Last Post.
We began the week with Andrew ‘Andy’ Zaltzman, who stopped by to tell us about all things ‘Cyber Warfare’ and the new egregious plans by Big Tech (ep. 223), Tom Ballard dropped some huge news regarding global level espionage plots when he reported on ‘Russia News’ (ep. 224), next we were brought all news on Food from Eswatini by disgraced yoga instructress Charlie George (ep.225), Health and Fitness guru Nish Kumar, returned to The Last Post to flex some muscle and tell us about the happening in the world on Totalitarian trends (ep. 226) and to conclude the week, communication via the space-time glitch has improved so much that a link between the two dimensions was set up so both Alice’s could report on Sovereign Citizens news (ep. 227).
