Bad News First; Episode 1: Code Brown, Benin Bronzes, Netflix & Kill, The Epstein Files & Britney

Welcome to the very first episode of Bad News First — the podcast where we take the week’s biggest headlines, strip away the spin, and replace it with sarcasm.

Because if you don’t laugh at the absurdity… you might understand it.

This week (Monday 16 February 2026):

• Wellington takes “wet and windy” a little too literally
• North Korea brings a whole new meaning to Netflix & Chill
• The Epstein Files remind us that the real conspiracy is accountability
• The British Museum revisits the concept of “finders keepers”
• The Winter Olympics confirms that age does indeed matter
• And Britney Spears… won’t do it again

So grab yourself a cuppa — or something stronger — and enjoy the show!
