*PREVIEW* Britainology 12: Only Fools and Horses Mar 21, 2021

Show notes

In this episode, Milo takes Nate on the most inscrutable journey yet: a vision of British 1980s/90s sitcoms that are too cockney to be parsed without a translator. Yes, it's the 'Heroes and Villains' episode of Only Fools and Horses, perhaps the most British thing Nate has had to encounter yet, and the one that did the most to break his spirit. Hope you enjoy!

American Psychosis Episode 1: Let's Roll Mar 20, 2021

Show notes

Boonta Vista's Andrew and Trashfuture's Riley are back with a brand new "show within a show" about the lasting cultural impact of September 11. In the first episode they introduce the show and discuss Oliver Stone's World Trade Center, the commoditisation of tragedy, memorial NASCAR races and a two word phrase from that fateful day that lives on in cultural infamy.

Just like the Boney Island Whitefish before it, further episodes of American Psychosis will be dropping monthly on both the Trashfuture and Boonta Vista Patreons!

*PREVIEW* The Gold Family in the Gold House feat. Aaron Thorpe Mar 18, 2021

Show notes

This week, we've brought on Aaron Thorpe (@thotteusstevens) of the Trillbillies and A Time of Monsters podcasts, to discuss the British royal family and the recent Oprah interview with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. What is the deal with this institution? Why do British people simply accept this? Get it all explained here.

Finally, A Company is replacing "Debt :(" with "Debt :)" Mar 15, 2021

Show notes

We explore a fun new start up that solves the most difficult problem of paying down debt: the user interface. Then, we go on to explore the strange triangulations in British politics of who can compete to give nurses a more reasonable pittance. Will Starmer be easily outmanoeuvred by the Tories, who will continue to successfully implement their patronage model of the economy? Of course he will!

*PREVIEW* Medieval Geezers feat. Eleanor Janega and Patrick Wyman Mar 12, 2021

Show notes

We finally got around to the thing that everyone told us to do: review Guy Ritchie's King Arthur movie, a film in which the early medieval legend is rendered as a tale of East London geezers. To verify its accuracy, we brought on friends of the show Eleanor Janega (@GoingMedieval) and Patrick Wyman (@Patrick_Wyman). Are you not entertained?

Pop! feat. @theemilyaccount Mar 09, 2021

Show notes

Algorithm jockey and financial wizard Emily (@theemilyaccount) talks about how the Tech Boom, enabled as it was by overly restrictive monetary and fiscal policy, is starting to come apart at the seams. Was it a bubble? Is it popping? Too early to say, but not too early to enjoy a little schadenfreude! We also explore the nature and role of ARKK, the actively managed ETF beloved by redditors, and hated by the rest of Wall Street for all the wrong reasons.

Plus, Johannes Vonk and the Clogheads return with a new song recovered from the archives.

*PREVIEW* Unionise Amazon (The Democrats Hate This!) feat. Ed Ongweso Jr Mar 05, 2021

Show notes

We're joined by Ed Ongweso Jr (@bigblackjacobin) of This Machine Kills Podcast (@machinekillspod) to discuss the Fight for $15, the efforts to unionise Amazon facilities in Bessemer, Alabama, the Biden Administration making publicly pro-union statements while appointing the architects of Proposition 22 to advisory roles, and much more.

*UNLOCKED* Britainology 3: Understanding Home Counties Guys Mar 04, 2021

Show notes

In this unlocked content, Milo and Nate are on another Britainology, this time with Kent guy Hussein, to discuss the Home Counties and how the deeply cursed world of London suburbia has created an identity of Britishness that you've probably encountered, even if you didn't recognise it. Hope you enjoy!

The Line is Bored feat. Matthew Zeitlin Mar 02, 2021

Show notes

Finance journalist Matthew Zeitlin (@mattzeitlin) joins the gang to discuss the wild and wonderful world of SPACs, which is basically the of company that happens when the Line gets really bored and just wants to feel something. Think of them as loot crates for investors. We also explore the dark underbelly or London’s Scottish restaurant scene, and have a little fun with a startup.
