*PREVIEW* Hungover Butler to the World feat. Dr Kojo Koram Mar 25, 2022

Show notes

Riley is joined by Birkbeck's Dr. Kojo Koram to discuss how Britain's colonial legal legacies - in the form of offshore, overseas, non-dom, etc. - make us the perfect place for the global rich to hide their ill gotten gains. Also, in the studio, Milo, Hussein, and Alice discuss another rent-instead-of-own startup, but with a creative twist.

The Shawinigan Handshake Mar 21, 2022

Show notes

This week, we’re talking about a mental-health startup that’s even worse than the man made horrors you thought were beyond your comprehension, some particularly spicy UK legal news, and a simple request for people to be honest about what they actually want, politically. Hope you enjoy!

*PREVIEW* Britainology 33: Some Mothers Do ’Ave ’Em Mar 20, 2022

Show notes

For the first Britainology of March, Nate and Milo watch a *terrible* British sitcom from the 1970s that has, somehow, endured. That's right, we've been Frank Spencerpilled--we've watched Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em, and we're still shaken from the 'what if Britain was in the Eastern Bloc' vision that it portrayed.

*PREVIEW* The Assassination of Steven Seagal by the Coward Gaz Baz feat. Quantian1 Mar 18, 2022

Show notes

We bring back friend of the show Quantian1 to discuss sanctions against Russia, how the global financial system can shut out a large economy (and how economic integration doesn't necessarily mean less chance of conflict), how the conflict will affect food prices, and our theory that, instead of sanctions, we should just do a Reverse Salisbury on Putin.

Tour de Moon (100% Real) Mar 14, 2022

Show notes

It’s the True Chaos Configuration of Milo, Hussein, and Alice, and we’re discussing the Festival of Brexit–a bizarre idea that seems to be at least competently executed, much to our surprise. However, it includes a techno festival called Tour de Moon with an intensely 2000s website that has to be seen to be believed. We also talk about sanctioning Abramovich, and much more.

*PREVIEW* Refuse of the Future: Challenges in Geopolitics from Metternich to the 22nd Century Mar 11, 2022

Show notes

Dr. Riley Quinn (DPhil International Relations), Dr. Milo Edwards (PhD Russian Language), and Maj. Alice Caldwell-Kelly (OSINT specialist) introduce another “garden of forking paths” version of ourselves. We also discuss the bipartisan consensus that spiking energy prices (which have been spiking long before the war) are good and worth the Blitz spirit. Also, another article and Lebedev/Johnson hanging out pretending to be homeless to raise awareness.

The Lithium Rush ft. Thea Riofrancos Mar 08, 2022

Show notes

Riley, Alice, and Milo look at the ongoing descent of the UK pundit class into embodying the global death drive, and take a look at a story of a certain kind of British Guy achieving apotheosis (spending £218 of Bolton Council's money meant for excluded children at the Spar in Praia du Luz in Portugal). In between, Riley talks to academic Thea Riofrancos about why "onshoring" mining is all the rage now that the world's security and energy orders have both been thrown into disarray.

The interview with Thea starts at 23:16 and ends at 53:45!

*PREVIEW* Trans-Atlanticism Part 2 feat. Kill James Bond Mar 04, 2022

Show notes

Riley, Milo, Abi, Alice, and Devon read a little book called The End Of The World Is Flat, a satire about the struggles of the “TERGs” against the “Flat Earth Movement.” Or, more accurately, Riley is the only person in the world to read a book again.

Trans-Atlanticism feat. Abigail Thorn Mar 01, 2022

Show notes

This week, friend of the show Abigail Thorn (@PhilosophyTube) joins us to discuss the EHRC’s turn towards belligerent transphobia. One might go so far as to say that they’ve violated Riley’s Law, but there’s an American dimension: British transphobia is beginning to appear in American legal statutes, cited approvingly. Seems bad! We also discuss an app to buy your way into government? And some admittedly out-of-date reactions to the Russian invasion of Ukraine (we recorded this on the day it started).

*UNLOCKED* Britainology 13: The Big Night Out feat. Tom Usher Feb 27, 2022

Show notes

This week, Nate and Milo address the important issue: why is there a culture of getting on it and getting completely blasted out of your mind? What is a big night out? What is the sesh? What is the deal with those guys in the picture? To help our investigation, we brought on nightlife expert and journalist Tom Usher (@Tom_Usher_) to discuss.
