Mark And Pete

What will 2026 really bring? In this episode of Mark & Pete, we take a boldly unscientific but spiritually alert look at the year ahead, guided by Mark’s satirical poem The Top Prediction Picks for Twenty Twenty-Six. Expect humour, cultural commentary, and a Christian lens on a world that seems to be making it up as it goes along.We cover predictions about a stagnant economy, increasingly surreal British politics, AI replacing human candidates, cyber-espionage, and the strange return of superstition and modern witchcraft. From Keir Starmer’s ever-shifting image to the possibility of Scotland humiliating England on the world stage, no national anxiety is left untouched. We also explore Donald Trump’s media-saturated dominance, the rise of algorithmic power, and what happens when social media becomes the measure of human worth.As ever, Mark brings the poetry and Pete brings the theology, grounding the satire in Scripture and reminding us why Christians should be calm when everyone else is hysterical.
