"Quite Bad, Innit?" w. Coco Khan

Erin Ryan and Alyssa Mastromonaco are joined by Pod Save the U.K.’s Coco Khan to answer the question: which country is more of a dumpster fire, the U.S. or the U.K.? In the U.S. corner: E. Jean Carroll vs. Trump (again); the LA Dodgers inviting, disinviting, and reinviting drag queen nuns to Pride Night; and more GOP boys entering the 2024 race. In the U.K. corner: misogyny king Andrew Tate, a politically conservative downward spiral, and very expensive childcare. Finally, to recover from this tête-à-tête, a little Sanity Corner (Gen Z uses Cockney slang to cope with stress) and a little I Feel Petty (TikTok is ruining food!) in Sani-Petty.
