The Black Hand of Streaming feat. Franz Ferdinand Oct 03, 2018

Show notes

It’s been a big seven days for Trashfuture: we moved in to our new basement office in East London for starters, and this week Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), and Nate (@inthesedeserts) sat down with Alex Kapranos @alkapranos) and Bob Hardy (@B0bHardy) from Franz Ferdinand (a band you might have heard of) to discuss streaming’s effect on artists, why they believe in the welfare state, the dangerous effects of austerity on creative arts, and -- of course -- some discussion of our favourite billionaire idiots.

A huge thank you to Bob and Alex for being such gracious and patient guests, considering this is easily one of the worst podcasts ever to exist.

If you’re as big of a Franz Ferdinand fan as us, you should definitely buy their new album ‘Always Ascending’ directly from Domino Records: https://franzferdinand.dominomart.com/

*Preview*: EDM: Sonic Gentrification feat. Aloiso Wilmoth Oct 02, 2018

Show notes

Please enjoy a short preview of this week's bonus episode from Riley. You've been promised this for ages and now you're getting it: a discussion on techno as praxis. But, it's not as lame as that might sound, because Riley speaks with musician and producer Aloiso Wilmoth (@HE_VALENCIA) about the history of techno, its DIY ethos, its Midwest American roots, and how's it's been repackaged and sold as EDM.

You can find Aloiso's music on SoundCloud here: https://soundcloud.com/he_valencian

Stossel's Special File Sep 25, 2018

Show notes

It’s a session for the old heads this week, as Riley (@raaleh), and Milo (@Milo_Edwards), and Hussein (@HKesvani ) rejoin original host Charlie Palmer (@cfppalmer) to discuss mandatory wearable tech, terrible libertarians, and the strange concept of conservative lunatic John Stossel being the author of American school children’s curriculum.

Uber for the Spirit feat. Mathew Lawrence Sep 18, 2018

Show notes

We can’t get enough of IPPR reports (and insane conservative meltdowns in response to them) and this week, Riley (@raaleh), and Milo (@Milo_Edwards), and Hussein (@HKesvani ) join IPPR researcher Matthew Lawrence (@DantonsHead) to discuss his recent report entitled ‘The Digital Commonwealth: From private enclosure to collective benefit,’ which you can read here.

Nate (@inthesedeserts) produced this from the famous no-go zone of Dawlat al-Southwark, where no one dares sell pork products, except for basically every shop on the street.

Incel Proust: An Austerity Reverie feat. George Eaton Sep 12, 2018

Show notes

It wouldn’t be Britain if our elected leaders weren’t discussing new ways to cut the state even further, and this week, Riley (@raaleh), and Milo (@Milo_Edwards), and Nate (@inthesedeserts) join New Statesman political editor George Eaton (@georgeeaton) to examine the principles behind austerity. Learn about faith-based supply-side economics, Sajid Javid’s annual reading of ‘Atlas Shrugged,’ and the recently released IPPR report that’s got everyone talking.

Thanks, Wonga! feat. Oscar Rickett Sep 06, 2018

Show notes

It’s a busy start to September, and now that we’ve all renewed our dhimmi permits, we can enter the no-go zone of Whitechapel to record and episode. This week, Riley (@raaleh), and Milo (@Milo_Edwards), and Nate (@inthesedeserts) joined journalist and writer Oscar Rickett (@oscarrickettnow) to discuss his work reporting on ayahuasca entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley and, more importantly, on the demise of predatory UK usury magnates Wonga.

Hussein (@HKesvani) dialed in from exotic Vancouver, fatigued and red-eyed from another night of gaming.

Game of Slurs: International Worst Columnists Invitational Part 2 (feat. Boonta Vista) Sep 03, 2018

Show notes

In a continuation of last week’s episode, Riley (@raaleh), Hussein (@HKesvani), and Milo (@Milo_Edwards) join guests Andrew Law (@IllyBocean) and Lucy Valentine (@LucyXIV) from Boonta Vista Socialist Club (@BoontaVista) for a roundup of terrible right-wing columnists in the land of our terrible Commonwealth forebears. We absolutely, positively saved the best (worst) for last.

You should definitely follow Boonta Vista — we had a great time putting this episode together and appreciate their patience, as we are sloppy boys.

Nate (@inthesedeserts) produced this under deep cover (and in a state of Sharia compliance) from the no-go zone of Southwark.

Game of Slurs: International Worst Columnists Invitational Part 1 (feat. Boontavista) Aug 30, 2018

Show notes

For this week’s episode, Riley (@raaleh), Hussein (@HKesvani), and Milo (@Milo_Edwards) join guests Andrew Law (@IllyBocean) and Lucy Valentine (@LucyXIV) from the extremely good Australian podcast Boonta Vista Socialist Club (@BoontaVista) for a discussion of a topic close to all of our hearts: the worst right-wing columnists in the Anglosphere, their greatest hits, their origin stories, and why ‘white man’ is the worst slur in the English language.

This discussion ran a bit long, and so we’ve cut it into a part 1 and 2 — part 2 will publish very soon, maybe next week, who knows (we lack professionalism). Also, Hussein fell asleep during the recording.

Nate (@inthesedeserts) lives in Britain now and, after reading the Wall Street Journal, expects to be forced to say the Shahada at any moment.

All Sex Work and No Sex Play feat. Molly Smith Aug 22, 2018

Show notes

For this week’s episode, Riley (@raaleh), Hussein (@HKesvani), and Milo (@Milo_Edwards) discuss the absurdly high valuation of tech companies, the idea that tech impacts our lives as capital-subsidised precarity, and the fact that 40 percent of the US economy is effectively a shell game.

Later, Riley and Milo speak with Molly Smith (@pastachips), co-author of Revolting Prostitutes: The Fight for Sex Workers’ Rights, about how the UK’s approach to criminalising sex work and persecuting sex workers -- and why we should demand full decriminalisation now. Riley also makes a strong case for work in general being eliminated.
