*PREVIEW* The TF Union Presents: The St. Brendan's Day Debate Jun 24, 2020

Show notes

It's O'Neill versus O'Neill... versus O'Neill versus O'Neill versus O'Neill versus O'Neill. It's a six-way Brendan O'Neill battle moderated by the only man who could possibly moderate a clash of intellectual titans like this: Brendan O'Neill. It may sound like @inthesedeserts, @raaleh, @Hkesvani, @AliceAvizandum, @milo_edwards, @rocknrolga, and our friend Phoebe Roy (@10kpostspod), but we must insist it is all Brendan O'Neill.

They are debating the motion: THB the chattering classes of this once great nation are at it again.

Terminal Velocity Jun 22, 2020

Show notes

Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Nate (@inthesedeserts), and Alice (@AliceAvizandum) deal with new developments in the shadow finance debt bubble arena, including allegations around another "tech company" that seems to have invented a bunch of money for itself. We theorise as to what it all means before having a little more fun with a New Type Of Guy to introduce to the canon, and we wrap it up with a reading that may indeed rival "Shoes" in sheer madness.

UNLOCKED: Frankenstein's Balance Sheet Jun 19, 2020

Show notes

In light of new information coming to light about the company that forms the subject of this episode - both allegations about potential wrongdoing with regard to circular financing, and the fact that they've just been approved as one of the accredited lenders for the Government's Coronavirus Business Interruption Scheme - we decided to unlock it for you.

The original blurb: There's a ticking time bomb in the economy. No, a DIFFERENT ticking time bomb. This week, Riley, Milo, Hussein, and Alice discuss the balance-sheet chicanery of a mysterious Australian plane enthusiast that is slowly but surely imploding every SoftBank investment vehicle. We would normally say it's a laugh riot, but this one... maybe not so much.

*PREVIEW* The Empire’s New Clothes Part 2: Tiberius’ Sun Ft. Patrick Wyman Jun 19, 2020

Show notes

We've brought historian Patrick Wyman (@patrick_wyman) back on to discuss more of the Roman Empire collapse similarities with our current moment. We hope you enjoy this, as it's a chance for some deep cut Rome references that we cannot ever pass up.

The Life Aquatic with Edward Colston Jun 16, 2020

Show notes

Why did they throw that statue into the water in Bristol? Why does the state want to find as many ways as possible to make owning the libs its official policy? Why does burning down a police precinct poll better than Joe Biden? This episode features (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Hussein (@HKesvani), and Alice (@AliceAvizandum) and seeks to answer these questions.

Now Is The Time Of Monsters. On Quibi Jun 09, 2020

Show notes

This week, Riley, Milo, Alice, and Hussein do a deep-dive on Quibi. Why is this mini-content platform supposedly worth $2 billion? Who actually stars in 8 to 15 minute videos on Quibi? And why is it all so terrible? Learn all about it by listening!

UNLOCKED: Edward Colston We Hardly Knew Ye (LIVE at Bristol Transformed) Jun 08, 2020

Show notes

UNLOCKING BECAUSE OF CURRENT EVENTS REGARDING EDWARD COLSTON

After protestors pulled down the statue of slave trader Edward Colston in Bristol, we figured we would unlock our episode about Colston and his ongoing influence and prominence in the city.

We recorded this live episode Edward Colston's Recorded live at Hamilton House, Stokes Croft, Bristol on April 5, 2019, it's a show about the things that matter: brain scanning helmets that write musical symphonies, Bristol's slave-trade past, its devotion to one particular slave-trading city father, and the local Illuminati that worship him like a god.

The Colston segment starts at about 47:00 minutes in!

*PREVIEW* Balthasar Speedboat 5 (ft. Olga Koch and Pierre Novellie) Jun 07, 2020

Show notes

This week's (belated, sorry!) bonus is a Balthasar Speedboat comedy special featuring Riley, Milo, Olga, and Pierre Novellie. Enjoy a discussion of the wide varieties of being horny online, how Riley spends his Christmas in Britain, and why a famous holiday songwriter also releases nude calendars for elderly women. It's a forensic examination of horniness. Hope you enjoy!

A Functioning State? Never Seen One of Those feat. Sanjana Varghese Jun 03, 2020

Show notes

Look, lots of things have happened that have made the content of this week's episode a bit out of date. This week's episode features Riley, Milo, Hussein, and Alice catching up on the Cummings scandal, the abomination of a tech house DJ collective made up of bankers, and a bit more. However, we also have an extended interview with freelance journalist Sanjana Varghese (@sanjanamv) on the topic of the socialist Indian state of Kerala and its success with controlling covid-19. We hope you enjoy.

Sanjana's work can all be found here: https://sanjanavarghese.com
