![*PREVIEW* Trashfuture Presents: Balthasar Speedboat 6]()
August 14, 2019
It's a special episode featuring only the loveliest of accents. This week's bonus features Milo with guests Aidan 'Taco' Jones, Dan Muggleton, and Pope Lonergan. It's a bunch of comedians telling some damn jokes -- about Australia, about fancy words, about rugby -- and so much more. Hope you enjoy!

![Topping History from Below feat. Dr Eleanor Janega]()
August 12, 2019
A broad swath of modern reactionary and xenopobic sentiment tries to employ fake medieval history to create a fantasy version of Europe. Whether it’s Middle Earth or some bullshit about Agincourt, the British right can’t stop making stuff up. So, to dispel this, Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Nate (@inthesedeserts), and Alice (@AliceAvizandum ) spoke with academic Dr Eleanor Janega (@goingmedieval) about actual medieval history. And guess what, folks? We used it as an excuse to make jokes.

![History 2.0 feat. Annie Kelly]()
August 5, 2019
Why call it history when you can call it ‘progress studies’? This week, Riley (@raaleh), Nate (@inthesedeserts), and Alice @AliceAvizandum join writer and PhD student Annie Kelly to discuss Steven Pinker-ized airport books, tech positivity, and Annie’s research into women members of the alt-right. You’ll love it.
Annie’s New York Times article that gets referenced in the piece is available here: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/01/opinion/sunday/tradwives-women-alt-right.html

August 2, 2019
You wanted to hear more Quillette close-reads, so here it is. We discuss the most bootlicking of all pro-Amazon pieces to ever appear, plus a bizarre 2006 op-ed about shoes from Rafael Behr. Our special guest Juliet Jacques (@zinovievletter) helps us break down just how brain-melt it all is. You'll love it, folks—you'll absolutely love it.

![FCK GVT FCK BORIS feat. Eleanor Penny]()
July 29, 2019
We’ve all written something that was maybe a little over the top, though mercifully none of us has written for Quilette. This week, Riley (@raaleh), Olga (@rocknrolga ), Hussein (@HKesvani), and Alice @AliceAvizandum join Novara Media’s Eleanor Penny (@eleanorkpenny) to discuss brain impresario Toby Young’s recent paen to Boris Johnson’s skull shape and neck thickness. It’s weird! It’s abnormal! It’s the state of things in British politics!

![Pinker 2: The Pinker-files]()
July 22, 2019
Okay, some housekeeping: this might be the episode where you can hear our brains breaking. Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Nate (@inthesedeserts), and Alice @AliceAvizandum discuss Elon Musk’s strange fixation on preventing SkyNet, new revelations that place Steven Pinker in Jeffrey Epstein’s plane on multiple occasions, and a Guardian article in which Alastair Campbell devotes an entire column to someone who was nice to him in the comments section. Seriously. Amid all this majestic content, Milo goes on a Trump-voice rampage and we basically lose our minds. And then the power goes out. You will probably love this, but you might wind up hating us!

![*PREVIEW* Trashfuture Presents: Balthasar Speedboat 5]()
July 18, 2019
Riley's cousin lives in London and got the absolute worst tinder-date breakup message. It was so bad, so painfully long-form and weird, that we had to convene a session of Balthasar Speedboat to discuss it. So, we brought on Riley, Milo, Olga, Alex Kealy, and Rajiv Karia (@RajivAKaria). Hope you enjoy it! If not, we're breaking up with you (in over 1000 words).

![Water Wars in Shagaluf]()
July 15, 2019
Our beautiful son Riley is still in New York, a city famous for being ‘alright’ if you ‘like’ ‘saxophones.’ In the interim, Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Hussein (@HKesvani), Nate (@inthesedeserts), and Alice are here to hold down the fort. We’ve uncovered a startup that wants to scan your licence place and use it to order McDonalds. We’ve read an op-ed encouraging the securitisation of water scarcity. We’ve blanched upon contact with a James Dellingpole op-ed about his daughter’s ‘virginal beauty’ (not making this up) as she goes on holiday to Magaluf. There’s also a discussion of a very ribald binder. Enjoy!

![*PREVIEW* The ID Card of Dorian Gray]()
July 11, 2019
Tony Blair, what a guy! Am I right, folks? He can't stop whining about how we need fewer houses and more apps. He can't stop pointing a finger at the Labour party and saying that it was better when we were pro-privatisation and pro-bombing. And now, of course, his institute has a great plan -- a policy paper full of nothing but management consultant speak -- with one sole defined policy goal: national ID cards. Yes, he still wants them. Enjoy this dang podcast!
In this preview we discuss Tony's plan to run the UK like Spotify. You can get the full episode on Patreon here:
