Doctors’ Advice: Drink 14 Gallons of Water Right Now (feat. Mattie Lubchansky) Aug 16, 2022

Show notes

This week it’s Milo, Hussein, Nate, and Alice, joined by special guest Mattie Lubchansky (@lubchansky), and we’re discussing the UK’s energy pricing woes. Which are solely related to privatisation. Which everyone can see coming and nobody is going to do anything about. We also discuss an app-connected water bottle that sometimes tells you to drink enough water to kill you if its sensors are off.

There’s a special smart segment in this episode in which Riley speaks with Dr Craig Berry about the disasters of privatised pensions. If you enjoy this discussion, Craig’s book is available here: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/pensions-imperilled-9780198782834?cc=gb&lang=en&

Nikolai Gogol’s Dead Digital Souls Aug 09, 2022

Show notes

There may be disruptions in the free-money-forever ecosystem of the tech industry, but that hasn’t stopped new ideas springing forth. For example: what if we made an AI chatbot but it had feelings? And we made it do spreadsheet-factory jobs? This is one of the propositions from a new startup we’ve uncovered called–and this is not a joke–Digital Souls.

Show notes

Coal Mine Canary Story Hour Aug 02, 2022

Show notes

This week, we're talking the Metaverse, we're talking FB's valuation plummeting because iOS lets you improve your digital privacy by 1%, and we're talking the recent furore with drag queen story hours and how American fascists and British transphobes have been coalescing and continue to do so.

Investigative Reports Jul 26, 2022

Show notes

The Forde Report is out and has landed with all the impact of a feather in the febrile British media space. We discuss being right, what’s wrong, and what else. But first, we look at a new podcast that is teaching England’s prisoners about how to hustle a brand.

*PREVIEW* Britainology 42: Skins Jul 23, 2022

Show notes

For this month's second Britainology, Milo makes Nate watch season 1, episode 1 of the Channel 4 teen comedy/drama 'Skins.' Nicholas Hoult is in demon twink mode causing chaos all around flip-phone-era Bristol c. 2007, and Nate marvels at the fact that a show like this would have been much harder to make for network TV in the US back in those days. Hope you enjoy!
