Guess Who's Coming to Criticise Dinner ft. Jay Rayner Jan 18, 2018

Show notes

Second Thursday bonus episode in a row because I love you people, yakno. Riley (@raaleh), Olga (@rocknrolga), Hussein (@HKesvani), and Milo (@Milo_Edwards) are joined by the restaurant critic for the Observer, comedian, and jazz impressario, Jay Rayner (@JayRayner1). We talk about the dumbest fancy dining experience in the world, and then go into all the stupid ways rich people try to make food more exclusive. We talk raw water, raw milk, and the idiotic obsession with Clean Eating that will hopefully wipe out the rich as a species.

warm regards,

Literally Black Mirror ft Taylor Lorenz and Alex Krasodomski Jan 15, 2018

Show notes

This week Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@milo_edwards), Hussein (@HKesvani), and Alex (@AlexKealy), do a two part double header. In Part 1, friend of the show and Daily Beast technology reporter Taylor Lorenz (@TaylorLorenz) phones in from the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas to explain how nothing works, and the emptiness of the techbro culture that produced it.

In Part 2, we are joined by Alex Krasodomski (@AKrasodomski), a researcher of the Centre for the Analysis of Social Media at the Demos think tank, to talk about the nexus between the conspiracy theorising, the structure of the internet, and (of course) the tech monopolies.

Our theme tune is called herewego by Jinsang, and is available on Spotify.

xoxo Riley

LIVEFUTURE ft Ahir Shah Jan 11, 2018

Show notes

Oh sheesh y'all it's a Thursday bonus episode! The trash fam did a brief set as part of Alex Kealy's (@AlexKealy) monthly comedy night at the Comedy Grotto, with all profits going to Syrian Refugee Relief.

Ahir Shah (@AhirShah) stepped in to help us rubbish what has turned out to be probably the dumbest AND most insidious product yet. Follow your beloved hosts on twitter - Riley (@raaleh), Olga (@rocknrolga), Milo (@milo_edwards), and Hussein (@HKesvani), and the podcast account itself (@trashfuturepod). Furthemore, please tell us on the Trashfuture twitter's open DM's what you might like to see out of future live shows and we may just do it!
