We recorded a live Britainology in London earlier this month and brought on special guest Juliet Jacques (and regular guest Riley) to discuss British sex scandals past: the Profumo Affair, Keith Vaz, Derek Mackay, and--of course--David Cameron's pig liaisons. Hope you enjoy!

The gang delves into the realm of a movie being entirely funded by NFTs and filmed in the only place less real than NFTs (Neom.) Then, Riley speaks with Dominik Leusder from the Eurotrash podcast and LSE Ideas about how exactly energy got so wildly expensive.

The gang discusses the inevitable crypto crash, tether, and the charlatans who sold ordinary people down the river. We also review Britain’s strategy for dealing with its many overlapping crises including mental health. Then, we speak to journalist Heidi Swart (@heidi_swart), whose work for the MIT technology review is all about how the surveillance industry is slowly rebuilding apartheid in South Africa.

Josh Boerman from The Worst of All Possible Worlds joins the entire gang to discuss the Christian Dominionist designs on American society through the lens of the "school choice" campaign led by, among others, West Michigan's very own Betsy DeVos. We look at parallels between similar movements here, and how they link to other demands made by the same people.
The Worst of All Possible Worlds (@TWOAPW) is a weekly podcast of case studies in the pop culture of a dying empire. Co-hosts Josh (@boshj) and Brian (@spocks_brian) grew up evangelical in Michigan and New Mexico, while A.J. (@thefuzzymask) grew up Catholic in California. Together, we deconstruct how narrative and artistic choices in popular media reflect or subvert the ongoing reactionary project in contemporary America and the world at large.

This week, Riley, Milo, Hussein, and Alice join special guest Dan Boeckner (@DanBoeckner) of Wolf Parade, Operators, Arcade Fire, and the Bottlemen (@BottlemenPod) podcast to discuss a terrifying app-based labour market violation from Canada, some interesting UK political developments, and another–yes, another–British centrist political movement full of veterans of all the other failed ones.

Last week, we had a 2018-throwback lineup of the TF cast for a live show in London featuring Riley, Milo, Hussein, and Nate. We've got it all: Ed Balls returning to politics, a succession of blockchain-related nonsense startups, and a tremendous column by a Telegraph writer who's furious at the concept of work from home because it makes people 'mediocre.' We think you will enjoy this.

This week, Riley, Milo, Hussein, and Alice discuss even more police-related ideas from UK politicians, a terrible startup from Australia, and the recent news that Netflix’s share price has collapsed due to–big if true–the fact that they don’t make any money. Hope you enjoy!
