The UK government have finally condemned Israel for withholding aid, the same week The Guardian has reported that 14,000 babies will die unless food is allowed into the region immediately. 

Jemma and Marina can't help it, they have to ask, what changed? What took so long? They are pleased but aggrieved

In this episode the Trawl ladies share what happened when Marina went onto LBC to confront Nick Ferrari in an exchange which went viral. They discuss the entire Gary Lineker brouhaha that has got the nation talking and share some prose which Jemma particularly found very helpful when struggling to know how to feel. 

In an episode which feels more like collective therapy, Marina and Jemma share incredible clips, heart wrenching clips and some very powerful words. 

This one is for everyone who has chosen to use their voice, their platform, their social media, their time, their energy just to care. 

It's called The Ache of Being Awake
