About this episode
The episode discusses Melania Trump's recent speech, the Trump administration's ceasefire agreement, and the upcoming UK elections while touching on various political and cultural topics.
Look, we're STILL trying to work out what Melania's plan was with that WTF speech this week. Plan, did we say? Alex Andreou and Kenny Campbell give miserable Mel's bizarre intervention their best shot and, for the adults in the audience, try to make sense of that other Trumpian mystery of the week, the cease fire that no one in the White House seems to have read before agreeing to it. Back in Blighty, it's less than a month to the May 7th electoral jamboree and a chance to talk about proper politics: pot holes, hospitals and the rise of nutcase right wing politics over here too. All that plus AI hallucinations, moths and actual congress with a bull. Don't say you weren't warned. ***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** • Alex's latest Podyssey ep, featuring a load of bullocks • The pre-show clip is from last night's SNL UK "cold open" • More on that mad Scandi AI experiment • ...and the Canadian chatbot weirdness • We have put together a BLUESKY STARTER PACK, with all our regular contributors and many more…
