TRASHFUTURE

*PREVIEW* Bad Boys ft. Daniel Trilling

Journalist Daniel Trilling rejoins Riley, Hussein, and Alice for an episode with a more serious tone, talking about London's Metropolitan Police and the various corruption scandals that have eaten away at the myth of "Policing by Consent." We conclude that even the liberal position on reforming the Met now includes some broad/loose definition of abolition, where huge numbers of police powers are removed.

Dark Satanic Data Mills feat. Dan McQuillan

We speak to computing researcher Dan McQuillan, author of the recent book “Resisting AI: An Anti-fascist Approach to Artificial Intelligence,” all about that open letter about how scary powerful AI is. Also, a startup that helps automate academic literature overproduction so not even the writers have to read it, and the TikTok hearings.

*PREVIEW* The Good Reset Shall Be Built on the Bones of my Enemies feat. Matt Bors and Ben Clarkson

Matt Bors and Ben Clarkson, authors of the forthcoming Justice Warriors, join us for an episode all about British political cartoons, and the one time a telegraph cartoonist got too redpilled and then got fired. Also, we speculate about a Trump perp walk and check in on a million dollar bet made by the world’s postingest VC.

*PREVIEW* Britainology 58: Seven Plus Seven

For this month's second Britainology, Nate and Milo viewed the second installment of the Up series, entitled SEVEN PLUS SEVEN, which aired in 1970. The BBC's control group of children are now fourteen years old and already on the path towards being  stock characters, but there are also some odd surprises.

Britainology appears twice a month on the Trashfuture premium feed--one episode at the $5 tier, and a second at the $10 tier. However, we eventually unlock the special bonus episodes, for example the one we did about UK pub songs, now available on the $5 feed here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/70969449

We’ve also unlocked a Britainology to the free feed–it’s our second installment of Midwestology, in which Nate turns the tables on Milo (and is joined by special guests Francis Horton and Joe Kassabian) to explain the peculiarities of the American Midwest.

*UNLOCKED* Midwestology 2: The Humble 24-Hour Diner, and Wrestling

On this unlocked Britainology from October 2021, we got Joe Kassabian and Francis Horton back to discuss the Midwest--a reverse Britainology, if you will--and we're discussing 24-hour diners, terrible fast food jobs, and the cultural weight of professional wrestling in the Rust Belt / Greater Midwest. Hope you enjoy!

Boats 2 feat. Zoe Gardner

Immigration and refugee issues specialist Zoe Gardner (@zoejardiniere) joins the gang to discuss Britain’s transformation from “quite a bit like Children of Men” to “just Children of Men literally.” We also talk about British columnist / politico Iraq War reflections, and a startup.

Banking with the Abyss feat. Nathan Tankus

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

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.

*PREVIEW* Alice and Riley Present: The Brane Zone Book Club, Part 1

We've reconvened the Book Club and present to you an episode in which Riley and Alice discuss what they've recently read. This inaugural episode of what we might call The Brane Zone (if we don't change our minds) revolves around Alice having read EASTERN APPROACHES, the memoir of Sir Fitzroy Maclean discussing his peripatetic and extremely Type of British Guy diplomatic/military career during the 1930s and 40s.
