Trump shooting, Oasis frenzy, Huak Tuah and more – The 20 weirdest moments of 2024 – Part One

It’s that time of year when we look back over the last twelve months and ask… did that really happen? From Oasis giving the nation a brutal lesson in demand economics to the near-assassination of Donald Trump to the baffling rise of “Huak Tuah Girl”, 2024 has been a year of signs, wonders and bewilderment. In the first of a two-part Bunker special Miranda Sawyer and Jonn Elledge of Paper Cuts join Andrew Harrison to choose the first ten of the twenty most bizarre moments of the year – and work out what they mean. Part Two is out on Monday 23 December, or sign up to Patreon to hear it right now – and support independent podcasting too. • We are sponsored by Indeed.
