In this week’s episode Mark and Pete from their business and religious perspectives cover six of the most bizarre and fascinating stories making headlines. First up, we dive into the ongoing Birmingham bin dispute, where workers’ strikes are causing rubbish to pile up across the city, leaving residents frustrated. Then, we discuss the controversy surrounding Sam Mendes’ upcoming Beatles biopics, including casting choices that have raised eyebrows due to a lack of authenticity. Next, we take a close look at President Trump’s new tariffs, exploring their impact on global trade, U.S. manufacturing, and consumer prices. Moving on, we tackle a peculiar case where a judge in London called buskers “psychological torture,” sparking a debate about public space and noise pollution. In a more somber moment, we pay tribute to Betty Webb, the WWII codebreaker who recently passed away at 101, remembering her contribution to the war effort. Finally, we end on a royal note: King Charles is asked to play a carrot flute at an environmental event, raising questions about royal symbolism and the weirdness of modern celebrity culture. Tune in for these stories and more, packed with humor and insight!
