The Last Days of Group Home Rome feat. Hesse Deni Sep 29, 2026

Show notes

Riley and Hussein are joined by Hesse Deni (substituting for Nova who will be returning on Friday) to look at the unravelling of “A.I. safety” as a largely posting based discipline. Let’s all update our priors together and gesture at the crux of the issue. Also, Riley brought the most Ohio item home from a wedding in same.

*PREVIEW* Equality Under Garfield Law feat. Sapheen Meran Sep 25, 2026

Show notes

Get the complete episode on Patreon here!

It doesn’t come as a surprise that lawyers are using AI tech in legal practice, but British legal authorities and firms have gotten a bit wild: buying pallets of NVIDA GPUs to build their own data centres, submitting briefs with AI hallucinations of fake laws all the way to the point that judges have to admonish them, and running an all-AI legal service called Garfield Law. We brought on British law understander Sapheen Meran to explain this to us, and the fact that all lawyers apparently still love the show “Suits.”

Sapheen is the other half of Second Homes along with Nate, and you can check out our debut album “Find a Way to Hate It” here! (It’s also available on streaming everywhere!)

The Piddington Omakase feat. Nathan Akehurst Sep 22, 2026

Show notes

Editor’s note: this is something of an unusual episode, sorry! It’s just Nate and Hussein, but we’ve brought on journalist Nathan Akehurst, the author of the forthcoming book Along the Watchtower: Dispatches from Europe’s War on Migration. However, we have to talk about the Piddington referendum, the immediate fascist piggybacking that’s happened since, and the surprise discovery that a small village in Oxfordshire has a quite highly rated omakase restaurant.

*PREVIEW* I Can’t Believe It’s Not Verhoeven feat. Tom Walker Sep 18, 2026

Show notes

We dragooned friend of the show Tom Walker to discuss the recent Will Gluck film ONE NIGHT ONLY, which can be described as an intended meditation on life in a fascist society that somehow instead just lectures the audience about how it’s better to wait for marriage. Abstinent Times at Ridgemont High. There’s Something About Chastity. All sorts of ways to look at it, but—as the cast discovered—the best way to look at it is to watch it on a cam rip feed with endless gambling ads overlaid.

Slow Midas feat. Charles Star Sep 15, 2026

Show notes

We temporarily pivot to America because we have the opportunity to speak with Charles Star, a friend of the show and a law understander, who can give us insight into just how much the U.S. Supreme Court has retooled itself to enable total right-wing capture. However, we also have a chance to speak about Trump’s ballroom, its impossible proportions, its Sims-tier design, and Trump’s own declaration that gold is “God’s favourite metal.”

*PREVIEW* What Would a Normal Person Do feat. Cory Doctorow and Mattie Lubchansky Sep 11, 2026

Show notes

We believe in the marketplace of ideas. That’s why we’ve made it so that Cory Doctorow responds point by point to an article written personally to him by a16z about why his Enshittification thesis is wrong. Then, in the back half, we talk about AI and LLMs as real technologies rather than mystical, theological entities (with mystical, theological market assumptions).

Going Out Like Scott Benton Sep 08, 2026

Show notes

We get into a land of contrasts today - the far right grows in street power as Reform is suddenly exposed for the grifters and charlatans they have always been. Also, two very serious policy men have a conversation about party funding with one million hidden cameras.

*PREVIEW* The Ortolan Connection Sep 04, 2026

Show notes

For this week's bonus episode, Riley, Hussein, Nate, and November convene to discuss a number of topics: abject Burnhamism for one, a luxury block of flats in London making its very unsympathetic tenants live in what can only be called Scolding WeWork for another, and the story of a failed restauranteur family in Reading becoming part of your phone's firmware if you live in the UK?

Bribecoin feat. Zeke Faux Sep 02, 2026

Show notes

Bloomberg’s Zeke Faux joins us to discuss stablecoins - specifically Tether and World Liberty / USD1 - which function now as the parallel financial ecosystem for dealing with states captured by right wing cliques. But first, we brainstorm a post politics career for Keir and check in on the state of toys in Hertfordshire.

*PREVIEW* RIP Grokipedia (2025-2026) feat. Molly White Aug 28, 2026

Show notes

Get the whole episode on Patreon here!

Molly is back again, this time to talk about the right's war on Wikipedia—we show how Grokipedia was actually born of grievances fomented in two reports baselessly alleging liberal bias at Wikipedia, and died because Elon got distracted. Also, we uncover a general principle: right wing grievance mongering projects fail because these are fundamentally lazy people.
