TRASHFUTURE

Tom Mills and Dan Hind talk to us about their work on what a functioning BBC might look like, and how that’s less about finding the exact right political balance (any day now, surely!) and more about ownership structure and material factors. In the first half, we are once again overtaken by events, as this seems to be another “week where decades happen” in global politics.

Jacob Silverman returns to the pod to talk about the breakdown in relationship between Musk and Trump, and the tensions that have always simmered at the heart of the Silicon Valley / MAGA alliance… but how it will likely remain in place after the extremely replaceable Elon pissed everyone off so much he was asked to leave. Also, Jacob went to the Bitcoin conference and found it to be a shimmering sea of weirdness.

Lauren from Batting Around joins Riley, Nova, and Hussein to talk sports - what’s Banana Ball? What’re the odds of Neom SC winning the Saudi Premier League? What’s going on in Utah Mammoth player Sean Durzi’s brain? And more importantly, can we bet on it?

Seamus joins us to talk about the sudden (apparent) about face of some western leaders on Israel, who suddenly just now realised that a genocide may be occurring on their watch, and why the right time to take this stand was years ago. Also, we discuss a tech leader who wants to productise thinking, the ongoing adventures of Gregor Steube, and a new and innovative way hackers are stealing bitcoin.

Historian and journalist Ben Fogel joins the gang to talk about South Africa, and how it came to be a totem for the modern right. Also, we look at Elon’s continued decline and fall (despite the “success” of his project), and Robert Jenrick’s new career as an influencer.

The oft-requested episode is finally here, in which we watch what can only be described as a piece of outsider art: a zero-budget, zero-effort British gangster film made sometime between 2011 and 2017 by a woman named Sally Clack, who performs under the name Rapper Shampagne™. Dave Courtney is in this but you'd barely know it. This film caused Nate to have an existential crisis. We do not recommend viewing the film itself.

Eleanor Janega stops by to talk about her new project on the history of The Crusades with American Prestige, and how these largely failed military campaigns against basically everyone East of the Italian peninsula transformed into the iconography of Islamophobia at home. But first, we look at more flailing from the Labour Government, a plan to sentence criminals to bins, and reflect on Scott Adams’ ass.

Tech reporter Mike Isaac rejoins us to talk about the antitrust trials against Meta and Alphabet currently winding their way through the US justice system… but we enjoy a pretty significant detour into the world of the paint mafia. Also discussed is a startup “reinventing banking” to help ordinary people invest in high risk private capital projects with their pension funds, the great burrito bust out, and xAI’s wild turn as a white genocide guy.

For this week’s free one, we’ve got returning guest Tim Faust on to talk about Make America Healthy Again (citations needed), Diamond Joe having cancer, the intensely evil cross-partisan urge to institute Medicaid work requirements in the US, plus a visit to the developing paradise of Neom. It’s all here for the taking, folks.
