You Don't Have to Worry (with Marina Hyde)
Has 'the power of positive thinking' gone too far? Can we take solace in the upbeat language of Trump's cabinet, or should we, in fact, worry after all?
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.
