Gimme Some Wubben feat Laurie Laybourn-Langton Apr 21, 2021

Show notes

This week, we're speaking with IPPR researcher and friend of the show Laurie Laybourn-Langton (@Laurie_L_L) about his new book 'Planet on Fire: A Manifesto for the Age of Environmental Breakdown' (co-authored with Matthew Lawrence). We also talk about a deeply stupid SPAC that JD Vance is hawking, and some other stuff about the whole climate thing. Yes, the guy who runs the SPAC is named Jeff W. Ubben.

*UNLOCKED* Britainology 4: That '70s Episode Apr 20, 2021

Show notes

We're back again to explain the eccentricities and fault lines of this truly normal island. This week, Milo and Nate discuss the 1970s in Britain, why everything went downhill, why the decade radicalised the Boomers, and why the TV from that era is.... not good. Hope you enjoy!

*PREVIEW* Bride of Frankenstein's Balance Sheet feat. Rob Smith Apr 16, 2021

Show notes

Contrary to popular belief, we were not the people who broke the story about Lex Greensill and supply chain finance -- we just fell in love with it because it was the perfect intersection of all our interests (tech bullshit, obvious fraud, Australians, guys). However, someone who has been on this story since its inception is Financial Times journalist Rob Smith (@BondHack), and he's on the show today to review what's happened in this big ol' mess-er-idoo.

Waiting for Lordstown feat. Bryan Quinby Apr 13, 2021

Show notes

“We’re bringing the jobs back!” has long been the rallying cry of the right, but what kinds of businesses are actually coming back to places like Lordstown, Ohio? We are joined by Bryan Quinby (@murderxbryan) of Street Fight Radio to do a deep dive on Lordstown Motors - a “too good to be true” electric car manufacturer that has set up shop in the town of the same name. It’s all well and good when rich people take money off one another, but what about the workers who believe their lives are getting back on track?

The primary source for this episode was this report published by short seller Hindenburg Research, which also similarly exposed Nikola. https://hindenburgresearch.com/lordstown/

Show notes

You asked for it, you got it, and now you get to hear an episode of Balthasar primarily concerned with a 2010s-era nightclub in Toronto whose primary selling point was its luxurious women's toilets. Enjoy!

Met Police Given “Two Thumbs Up” by Met Police (feat. Leslie Kern) Apr 07, 2021

Show notes

We sat down with Leslie Kern (@LellyK)--feminist geographer, academic, and author of Feminist City: Claiming Space in a Man-Made World--to discuss what it means that "a feminist city is a police free city," in the wake of a slew of misogynistic, racist, and otherwise generally brutal actions attributed to London's finest. First, though, we take a look with some satisfaction at Deliveroo's shoddy IPO performance.

Show notes

Get grußpilled with Corner Späti's Nick Babkitis and the BBC's own Dr Xand van Tulleken on the topic of the EU's vaccine disaster, what the hell is going on in Germany, why Russians don't want the Sputnik vaccine, and what happens if an injection makes a German guy British. Hope you enjoy!

Magna Carta Landlords: America Version feat. Sam Knight Mar 30, 2021

Show notes

This week, we’re joined by Sam Knight of the District Sentinel (@TheDCSentinel) to discuss a U.S. Supreme Court case that may make it even harder for union organizers to meet with farm labourers in the US. With the exceptionally rational and normal composition of the Court, chances are good that this could make things even worse. We also discuss Prince Harry becoming the chief engagement officer at a mental health startup in the US, because why wouldn’t he.

*PREVIEW* Britainology 13: The Big Night Out feat. Tom Usher Mar 29, 2021

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.

*PREVIEW* Consider This Transaction Fung'd feat. Dan Boeckner and Matt Lubchansky Mar 26, 2021

Show notes

We've finally taken the time to discuss NFTs, and in so doing we brought on two working artists -- musician Dan Boeckner and cartoonist Matt Lubchansky -- to discuss the new liberation that comes from putting your art on the blockchain. Zero negative side effects here! Nothing to worry about.
