TRASHFUTURE

Precision Strikes from the Shorty Air Force feat. Quantian1

This week, we've got Riley (@raaleh), Hussein (@HKesvani), Nate (@inthesedeserts), and Alice (@AliceAvizandum) with special guest Q (@quantian1), an institutional investor and observer of the big cruel injury factory known as Tesla. We talk about how Tesla cooks its books via emissions credits, why Elon Musk is the way he is, and why the Robin Hood app is basically a dumb money index for investors with billions more resources than you have.

*PREVIEW* Fancy Art for Fancy Lads feat. Josie Long

This week's bonus involves the elitism of the art world, Josie Long's (@JosieLong) commentary on the way in which the entire world is gatekept by the rich, and the second segment features a guy calling his billionaire friend for advice about the state of the world. The advice, as you might expect, is normal as hell.

Le Gavroche de Wyatt Koch

This week, we've got Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Hussein (@HKesvani), and Alice (@AliceAvizandum) discussing the phenomenon of "dark kitchens," remote cooking sites for restaurants to cater to delivery-only services. Do they have bad conditions and almost zero labour protections? How'd you guess? We also discuss the fate of a Los Angeles jam restaurant called Squirrel, which tried its hand at a self-run dark kitchen that involve inch upon inch of mould. As we learn in this episode, the only thing that made it illegal was that they didn't have a VC-funded startup handling all of the unethical practices for them.

*UNLOCKED* Britainology Part 1: A Clump from Dave Courtney

Welcome to the inaugural episode of Britainology, in which Milo makes Nate watch something terminally British and then explains it. This week, we're watching a documentary about self-described celebrity gangster Dave Courtney, a crime doorman who thinks he runs Britain.

 

We'll be releasing more episodes of Britainology on Patreon, so if you want to hear more then check out our bonus content here: https://www.patreon.com/trashfuture

 

If you want to watch the original documentary, it's available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqARxpCpZU4

 

Our theme song for this series is from the 'Visit to Primrose Hill Extended Version' of the 1993 Blur song 'For Tomorrow,' which Nate picked because it was formative in teaching him various aspects of London geography and it's premium old millennial / young gen xer nostalgia bait. You can listen to it on Spotify here: https://open.spotify.com/track/3mvdN3a4p4SaOnpUBGWan2?si=B8IQ7g1PSfGqFw_P1dSY9Q

*PREVIEW* Rudderless

Flora Gill and Amber Rudd have a mother-daughter podcast. Does it suck? Yes. But it's also awkward and painful in a way that will make you see through time and enter the Hell Dimension. We made Riley, Milo, Alice, and Olga listen to it. You won't believe what happened next!

The Grand Old Duke of Leigh

This week is a rare all-hands episode of Trashfuture featuring Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Hussein (@HKesvani), Nate (@inthesedeserts), and Alice (@AliceAvizandum).

*PREVIEW* Balthasar Speedboat Presents Nurse Sketch (Ft. Caroline Calloway)

Was it a good idea? Probably not. But we've assembled the Balthasar Speedboat cast of Riley, Milo, Olga, and Pierre for a friendly conversation with chaos demon and influencer Caroline Calloway...who Milo knows from school...and you know what? Just listen to the episode to hear him get eviscerated for his acne and an awkward attempt at a kiss. You'll love it! Or you'll hate it.

Comin’ in for a Landing

Welcome to another edition of TF’s coverage of humanity’s trajectory following our step off the ledge. We begin to look at what happens when the unstoppable force of capital’s need to grow smashes into the immovable object of hard limits on economic growth in the long term. Riley, Alice, and Milo discuss what the Economist’s calls “The 90% Economy,” and ponder just what world we will emerge into.

*PREVIEW* A Startup Riley Picked Specifically To Infuriate Olly Thorn

We're back with now 3-time guest Olly Thorn (@philosophytube) to discuss some recent scandals: the Jenrick building scandal, the scandal of weird British porn mags, and the scandal of a terrible "discussion app" that seems to think it's a debatable point that Paul McCartney is in fact still alive. Hope you enjoy!

The Atrocity Exhibition feat. Arron Merat

It’s a new, slightly less chaotic configuration with Riley (@raaleh), Alice (@AliceAvizandum), Hussein (@HKesvani), and special guest Arron Merat (@A_merat). We’re discussing the British arms industry, how Gulf money backs up the Pound, and how distributed manufacturing allows exporters to avoid arms sale bans in the UK while allowing Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries to devastate Yemen. It’s a sad listen, folks!
