Summary
This week, Andy Zaltzman is joined by Anuvab Pal and Tiff Stevenson for a global sweep of OH GOD NOT ANOTHER WEEK LIKE THIS. At least we have a fun top story...
🤖 In Albania, the government now has an AI Minister. Is this the future of politics, or just the first step toward being ruled by ChatGPT in a suit?
🇺🇸 In America, chaos reigns yet again—scandals, dysfunction, and a national mood that can best be described as “existential shrug.”
🇬🇧 Meanwhile in the UK, the far right edges further into the conversation. We ask: what does this mean, and will they sue if you call them far right?
🧭 And in history news: Marco Polo. Explorer? What exactly did he do?
