In this unlocked bonus episode, we're talking Jacob Rees-Mogg's history: his book 'The Victorians' might be the single worst collection of words that Riley's ever subjected himself to (so far), and we've brought on friend of the show Nish Kumar (@mrnishkumar) to discuss it. You might even call it a 'Horrible History,' but that would be anti-British drivel!
We've also just released part 2 of this review with Nish, which you can get on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/34742880

This week, we're talking about the recent Irish elections. We could do the usual thing and make it up as we go along, but we'd rather speak to an expert -- so we brought on Ciaran Dold (@CiaranDold) of the Corner Späti podcast to break it down for us.

This week we’re talking Free Speech Union and the strange assortment of bitter British Gen-Xers who are convinced that they’re being oppressed because people don’t think they’re funny anymore. YouTube superstar and Low Society podcast host Angie Speaks (@SpeaksAngie) joins the cast of Riley (@raaleh), Hussein (@HKesvani), Nate (@inthesedeserts), and Alice @AliceAvizandum to rejoice in removing Toby Young’s right to free speech. Also: Angie will be joining us onstage for our Bristol Transformed show, so please come out and see the gang in action!

You've all heard the various encomiums about Roger fucking Scruton, the absurdly racist idiot philosopher who was terrified of the female orgasm and was somehow welcomed in every echelon of the British state for decades. Well, we've brought on an academic philosopher and friend of the show Nathan Oseroff-Spicer (@nathanoseroff) to break down Scruton's work in detail. And guess what? It's... interesting.

We read a terrible article about a tech startup in Cincinnati, Ohio that wants to combine Evangelical Christianity with app culture. We assembled the full cast of Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Hussein (@HKesvani), Nate (@inthesedeserts), and Alice @AliceAvizandum to discuss it. Folks, it will raise your blood pressure.
The article appeared in WIRED and can be found here: https://www.wired.com/story/midwest-christian-entrepreneurs-startup-life/

This week's bonus features a skeleton crew of Riley, Alice, and Hussein on a few topics that deeply moved us. Well, one at least: it sounds like SoftBank's Vision Fund is going to get a lot less weird, which means less content for us. But we can still reflect on the good times!

This week, we’ve stepped away a bit from the usual slate of brain-destroying British politics and have instead decided to review the joint BBC/Netflix special Dracula. It’s bad, but it’s bad in such particularly eyeball-crossing ways that we needed expert advice. So, this episode features Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), and Alice @AliceAvizandum in conversation with Leslie Lee (@leslieleeiii) of the Struggle Session podcast. We all watched this terrible series so you don’t have to.

Did you hear about the app that wants to 3D model your face to make sure you're a girl? It's called Giggle and we do not approve of it. In this preview of this week's bonus episode, Riley, Hussein, Alice, and artist Matt Lubchansky (@lubchansky) also discuss Mayor Pete, the US democratic primary, and much more. We thought about calling this episode 'ISIS for Girls' but Alice got to choose the title after she completely evaporated Riley's brain by reading test copy from Pete Buttigieg's website. Don't worry -- we recorded it all.

What happens when the DNC is an ouroboros of grifting fail-children? What happens when you try to improve voting with an app, and the app can’t stop crashing? In this week’s episode, Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Nate (@inthesedeserts), and Alice @AliceAvizandum join journalist Vincent Bevins (@Vinncent) to discuss the Iowa Democratic Caucus disaster, or how to not make people trust an election result. Vincent has covered elections in 15 countries and has some thoughts on why American exceptionalism makes America terrible at the basic concept of representative democracy.
Vincent has a book coming out called “The Jakarta Method” that covers the persecution and mass killing of leftists during the Cold War. You can pre-order it here, and you definitely should: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/vincent-bevins/the-jakarta-method/9781541742406/?lens=publicaffairs

*FUNDRAISING ALERT* In this episode, Riley mentions a fundraiser for a migrant assistance organisation in the US called Al Otro Lado. That fundraiser is complete, but if you have money to spare they can use the surplus for other cases of children escaping literal slavery.
