Why are soccer kits so woke?

Season 6, Ep. 4296

To understand why so many things are going wrong on a macro level, The Bugle zooms in on society this week, in the hope that it explains a few things. Including - are hot cross buns offensive, what's up with all our food, are football kits woke and whatever Trump is banging on about.


Recorded in Leeds, Andy Zaltzman is joined by Ria Lina and Nato Green.
