This week, Andy Zaltzman is joined by Tiff Stevenson and Tom
Ballard to untangle a world that's somehow too serious and too
stupid—often at the same time.


Top Story: Iran & Israel — tensions escalate, missiles fly,
and peace remains as elusive as a rational online comment
section.


Also in Iran: forget cats with attitude—dog walking is now
banned. We unpack the leash-tightening madness.


️ Meanwhile, the summer solstice brings light and… an AUKUS
defence deal? Yes, nothing says sunshine like submarines.


And in the USA, Trump’s latest parade blares its way through
logic and decency—again.


Expect sharp satire, international nonsense, and at least one
excellent pun.


Watch our visual fantasy-comedy show Realms Unknown on YouTube.


Produced by Chris Skinner and Laura Turner. And Chris's dog
Daphne.
