Banking with the Abyss feat. Nathan Tankus
Tuesday Mar 21, 2023
Tuesday Mar 21, 2023
This week, we're joined by writer and Modern Money Network research director Nathan Tankus (@NathanTankus) to discuss the recent events with Silicon Valley Bank. Is the US Government going to insure all deposits? Have we nationalized a bank, but only in service of its creditors? Is this a re-run of 2008, but dumber? We discuss all this, and more, in the following episode.

*PREVIEW* Britainology 57: The Beano
Sunday Mar 19, 2023
Sunday Mar 19, 2023
For this month's first Britainology, it's a slight reversal of the script: we have before us a British cultural institution that Nate knows more about than Milo does. It is in fact the children's weekly comics paper / mischief compendium 'The Beano,' which Nate read avidly in the early 1990s and Milo has only a passing familiarity with.

Tuesday Mar 14, 2023
This week, Riley, Hussein, and Alice join Annie and Julian from the QAnon Anonymous podcast to discuss the recent ecumenical freakout protests in Oxford on the topic of ‘15 Minute Cities.’ Annie was there interviewing participants—she managed to find the one person who was just there because of traffic concerns—and witnessed what appears to be a nascent reactionary resistance movement fighting in favor of climate change? Or something like it.
