You Don't Have to Worry (with Marina Hyde)

About this episode

Marina Hyde joins Armando to discuss positive language and various cultural topics.

Marina Hyde returns to join Armando for a positive look at some positive language. Pete Hegseth tells us not to worry about the Strait of Hormuz, Trump tells us the 'war' is 'already won' - is this inspired by The Power of Positive Thinking? Or by Noel Edmonds? Elsewhere we discuss guessing shoe sizes, tie-dye thinking, and whether we have the stomach for a culture war about badgers on bank notes. Got a strong message for Armando?
