TFOTY Gives Back May 07, 2019

Show notes

Britain has a serious need for Agony Aunts. Whether it’s a mundane or bizarre problem, people are out there asking for advice on issues such as: racist party guests, children who hate them, how to divide their expansive estates, border stones, and other completely bananas issues. This week, Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Olga (@rocknrolga ), spoke with musician GFOTY (@gfoty) about to help these wayward souls, these Jacobs Rees-Mogg, these Rods Liddle. Surprise, surprise -- the solution often involves Katie Price.

The closing music is a cover of Blink-182's 'All the Small Things' by GFOTY, and you can get it on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwV8FdzOOLM&feature=youtu.be

Capitalism Is Sucking Itself Off feat. Grace Blakeley Apr 30, 2019

Show notes

Why is it that there are so many billion-dollar startups that ultimately don’t do anything? Under normal circumstances, Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), and Hussein (@HKesvani) would just make a joke about Yu-Gi-Oh dragon dick in order to describe it. However, this week we were lucky enough to get expert insight from Grace Blakeley (@graceblakeley), the New Statesman’s economics commentator. So, learn all about the inherent contradictions in the value-extraction approaches of this newer and dumber capitalism—explained of course through the usual genre of joke (we never, ever, ever change our format).

*Preview* No Safe Spaces in Airport Security feat. Karen Geier Apr 26, 2019

Show notes

In this week's bonus episode, Riley, Milo, and Hussein speak with writer Karen Geier (@karengeier) about Butt-mentum—the sudden ubiquity of Pete Buttigieg—as well as other topics to include the Extinction Rebellion protests and an *insane* denunciation of Heathrow Airport by a man writing for Conservative Woman. It's good, folks.

A Blair for All Seasons Apr 24, 2019

Show notes

Every now and again, Tony Blair pops up to tell us that we’re doing too much social justice and that maybe Tommy Robinson has a point. This week, the gang of Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Nate (@inthesedeserts), and Alice (@AliceAvizandum) discuss a report from the Tony Blair Institute for Social Change about—and this is not hyperbole—why populism is apparently immigrants’ fault? It’s bad, of course, but chances are good that no one will read it except for irony podcasters.

Show notes

We also talk about certified genius Roger Scruton, and Milo brings back his south-of-south-of-Louisiana accent. You will enjoy this.

The Great Brexit Escape...Room feat. Tom Kibasi Apr 16, 2019

Show notes

We’re long overdue for something smart about Brexit on this show, or something smart in general. To that effect, this week, Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Hussein (@HKesvani), and Nate (@inthesedeserts) speak with Brexit seer and director of IPPR, Tom Kibasi (@TomKibasi). You may remember Tom from our infamous November ‘Yu-Gi-Oh Dragon Dick” episode in which he correctly predicted the entire sequence of events leading up to now re: Brexit. Well, Tom has more predictions, so this one will be a treat.

The first live recording with our mobile space station, the first outside-London show, and the first leftist UK politics supergroup podcast featuring Dalia Gebrial (@daliagebrial )of Novara Media and Jack Frayne-Reid (@gapesology ) of Reel Politik Podcast. 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.

BULBFUTURE ft. India Block Apr 09, 2019

Show notes

Riley, Milo, and Nate talk housing, living, and building with Dezeen's own India Block (@indiablock). We start with a start up, then go through Help to Buy and the enormous ponzi schemes the Tory government keeps setting up to provide us with basic human needs (instead of, you know, just providing for the needs), and conclude talking about the only kind of thing left we can build, which is some stupid ass tulip that nobody asked for but I guess we're getting anyway because a billionaire wanted it?

Same S***, Different Organ Farm feat. Tim Faust Apr 02, 2019

Show notes

This week, Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), and Nate (@inthesedeserts) speak with health justice advocate and writer Tim Faust (@crulge) about his campaigning for single-payer in the US, why anything besides Medicare for All is a scam, and why the creeping privatisation of programmes like Medicare and Medicaid resemble Tony Blair’s ‘reforms’ of the NHS in the early 2000s.

During this episode, Riley references a Wired article about friend of the show Matt Hancock and his generous benefactor Babylon. You can read that here: https://www.wired.co.uk/article/babylon-health-nhs

*Preview* Titania McGrath Tells You You're Smart [ASMR] feat. Dalia Gebrial Mar 31, 2019

Show notes

Amazing how Titania McGrath, a fictional account that owns Millennials by making dad jokes, is the talk of the London Media. It's almost like the account is run by two middle-aged Tories whose friends all RT them out of a sense of obligation. In a preview of this week's bonus, Riley, Milo, and Nate speak with Novara Media's Dalia Gebrial (@daliagebrial) about the Titania McGrath 'phenomenon,' and why it speaks to the deeply conservative cornerstones of horniness and hurt feelings.
