This week, Andy Zaltzman is joined by Alice Fraser and Neil Delamere for a global sweep of chaos, climate, and confused birds.
🇺🇸 In the United States, Elon Musk continues to make noise, and riots bring yet another wave of existential dread. Democracy? Still TBD.
🌆 Sinking cities are on the rise (and by “on the rise” we mean going underwater). Is climate change trying to take real estate off the market?
🐧 In the Antarctic nationalist row nobody asked for, penguins have waddled straight into a geopolitical spat. Are they fascist birds, or just lost? We investigate.
💬 It's time to 'Ask Andy' - send your questions now.
📺 Watch our fantasy comedy series Realms Unknown now fully visualised on YouTube
Produced by Chris Skinner and Laura Turner. Climate-proofed by penguins.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
