*PREVIEW* Water 2
Friday Aug 19, 2022
Friday Aug 19, 2022
It's the alternate chaos configuration of Hussein, Nate, and Alice discussing the UK's current drought, its privatised water infrastructure, the fact that no new capacity has been added since 1989... except for a special boy's special project in Beckton. We also read an article that claims blockchain can solve the world's water issues. We will always suffer for content.

Doctors’ Advice: Drink 14 Gallons of Water Right Now (feat. Mattie Lubchansky)
Tuesday Aug 16, 2022
Tuesday Aug 16, 2022
This week it’s Milo, Hussein, Nate, and Alice, joined by special guest Mattie Lubchansky (@lubchansky), and we’re discussing the UK’s energy pricing woes. Which are solely related to privatisation. Which everyone can see coming and nobody is going to do anything about. We also discuss an app-connected water bottle that sometimes tells you to drink enough water to kill you if its sensors are off.
There’s a special smart segment in this episode in which Riley speaks with Dr Craig Berry about the disasters of privatised pensions. If you enjoy this discussion, Craig’s book is available here: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/pensions-imperilled-9780198782834?cc=gb&lang=en&

Nikolai Gogol’s Dead Digital Souls
Tuesday Aug 09, 2022
Tuesday Aug 09, 2022
There may be disruptions in the free-money-forever ecosystem of the tech industry, but that hasn’t stopped new ideas springing forth. For example: what if we made an AI chatbot but it had feelings? And we made it do spreadsheet-factory jobs? This is one of the propositions from a new startup we’ve uncovered called–and this is not a joke–Digital Souls.

We revisit some old friends, such as Wirecard's Jan Marsalek and THG's Matt Moulding, and then continue to look at the implications of the increasingly large and powerful strike wave reverberating up and down Britain. We end with a another kooky startup that has some very funny numbers attached.

Tuesday Aug 02, 2022
This week, we're talking the Metaverse, we're talking FB's valuation plummeting because iOS lets you improve your digital privacy by 1%, and we're talking the recent furore with drag queen story hours and how American fascists and British transphobes have been coalescing and continue to do so.

Tuesday Jul 26, 2022
The Forde Report is out and has landed with all the impact of a feather in the febrile British media space. We discuss being right, what’s wrong, and what else. But first, we look at a new podcast that is teaching England’s prisoners about how to hustle a brand.

*PREVIEW* Britainology 42: Skins
Saturday Jul 23, 2022
Saturday Jul 23, 2022
For this month's second Britainology, Milo makes Nate watch season 1, episode 1 of the Channel 4 teen comedy/drama 'Skins.' Nicholas Hoult is in demon twink mode causing chaos all around flip-phone-era Bristol c. 2007, and Nate marvels at the fact that a show like this would have been much harder to make for network TV in the US back in those days. Hope you enjoy!
