Back in October, we did a deep dive into the work of the king of the airport books: Malcolm Gladwell. Riley, Milo, and Alice join Felix Biederman (@ByYourLogic) of Chapo Trap House (@chapotraphouse) to discuss the horror and the banality of the truest of thinkers. This was previously only available to our Patreon subscribers, but we figured everyone needed a pick-me-up given the state of Britain at the end of 2019.

In a preview of this week's bonus, we’re reviewing a startup called WhiteHat, digesting a terrible Giles Coren wankfest about Oxford admissions, and—most importantly—speaking to friend of the show and biology teacher Devon (@Devon_OnEarth) about the state-mandated ‘British Values’ education. Spoiler alert: it’s inchoate and weird!

You’re well accustomed to us just sort of riffing as we go along, but this week we speak with crop scientist Sarah Taber (@SarahTaber_bww) on the topic of the MIT Media Lab and their supposedly brilliant ‘food computer.’ Sarah joins Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Hussein (@HKesvani), and Alice @AliceAvizandum as we discuss in even more detail why tech lords’ conception of the world’s problems are just, well, weirdly off the mark!

Look, maybe we just needed a break. Maybe there's nothing particularly good to talk about politically in this moment of elected dictatorship. However, in this preview of the week's bonus, we talk about trash culture and the cult of super-smart drones, and as such we've reviewed the 2008 Ridley Scott film 'Body of Lies,' which is bad. Why does Leo DiCaprio dress like a podcaster? Why are there basically zero Arab actors in major roles in this film? Why is Russell Crowe such a weird Foghorn Leghorn ass guy? Listen to hear our takes on this, and much more.

So, we got owned. Labour got wiped out in the election, and now begins a sombre and introspective season 2 of Trashfuture in which we discuss where to go from here. Please listen to the solemn voices of Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Hussein (@HKesvani), Nate (@inthesedeserts) and Alice @AliceAvizandum as we commiserate and try to laugh as much as humanly possible. Thank you all so much to those of you who helped campaign and fight it out.

Content warning: at around 1:10:00, Nate discusses a traumatic experience he had in combat years ago, which doesn’t make for particularly light listening. We just want to make sure you’re not caught unawares if you’d rather avoid hearing it.
It’s election day! Please, please, please go vote Labour and help us end this nightmare! Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Nate (@inthesedeserts) and Alice (@AliceAvizandum) discuss the upcoming vote, some stupid articles, and a vision of things being better.

In a preview of this week's bonus episode, we speak to David Adler of DiEM25 about what Remain and Revolt would actually mean -- and why the EU's labyrinthine politics is intentionally boring. We also discuss some great pre-election post-mortem columns, a thing that makes sense. You'll love it!

It keeps getting dumber as we get closer and closer to election day! Boris Johnson threatened to pull Channel 4’s licence because they embarrassed him, the Lib Dems are plunging in the polls, and a recent terror attack on London Bridge in turn resulted in Boris going cartoon movie fash. This week, Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), and Alice @AliceAvizandum join special guest Josie Long (@JosieLong) for a roundup of all the very normal goings-on.
