Mindfulness Meltdown ft. Maggy van Eijk

Riley (@Raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), and Hussein (@HKesvani) sit down with journalist and mental health writer Maggy van Eijk (@MaggyVanEijk) to talk about the mendacious claptrap that is self help and self care and the other ways in which we try to inject psychology into our veins to escape from the hell pit of capitalism. It's a fun romp that includes a visit to Jay Shetty's fantasy land, a couple products from Arianna Huffington's scammy well being company, and two readings - one from liberal douchebag Richard Branson on how to be happy, and then on Alpha Dog Big Dick David Brooks on Jordan Peterson, whose dick curls like a pig's tail.

It's the Trashfuture podcast comedy review! Join Riley (@Raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Hussein (@HKesvani), and a RETURNING Charlie (@cfppalmer) are joined by Jake Flores (@feraljokes) to go through Breitbart London editor Raheem Kassam's page turner, No Go Zones: How Sharia Law Is Coming to a Neighborhood Near You. At one point, Riley's friend Johann (@Johann_C_C) - a recognised expert on the Deobandi movement - jumps in to lend a little factual weight to the jokes.

Guess Who's Coming to Criticise Dinner ft. Jay Rayner

Second Thursday bonus episode in a row because I love you people, yakno. Riley (@raaleh), Olga (@rocknrolga), Hussein (@HKesvani), and Milo (@Milo_Edwards) are joined by the restaurant critic for the Observer, comedian, and jazz impressario, Jay Rayner (@JayRayner1). We talk about the dumbest fancy dining experience in the world, and then go into all the stupid ways rich people try to make food more exclusive. We talk raw water, raw milk, and the idiotic obsession with Clean Eating that will hopefully wipe out the rich as a species.

Literally Black Mirror ft Taylor Lorenz and Alex Krasodomski

This week Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@milo_edwards), Hussein (@HKesvani), and Alex (@AlexKealy), do a two part double header. In Part 1, friend of the show and Daily Beast technology reporter Taylor Lorenz (@TaylorLorenz) phones in from the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas to explain how nothing works, and the emptiness of the techbro culture that produced it.

In Part 2, we are joined by Alex Krasodomski (@AKrasodomski), a researcher of the Centre for the Analysis of Social Media at the Demos think tank, to talk about the nexus between the conspiracy theorising, the structure of the internet, and (of course) the tech monopolies.

Under the Influencers ft. Taylor Lorenz and Elena Cresci

Hey Trash Fam - it's a new week and therefore a new episode.

The gang (Riley @raaleh, Milo @milo_edwards, Hussein @HKesvani, and Elena Cresci @elenacresci) talks about about our progress through no pee january, the Spectator's list of reasons to be cheerful (they're dumb), the plan to replace the border force with "Dad's Waffen SS," and Toby Young's Defense of Toby Young by Toby Young.

Taylor Lorenz (@TaylorLorenz), who covers technology and culture at the Daily Beast, joins us in the latter half ot the ep to give us an anthropological explanation of the YouTube teens - who they are, what they hell are they thinking, and what's next for them. (Spoiler alert - it's all weird and hyperreal).

Here's the link for our live show on the 9th of January:

Nick Boles-ing for Columbine: Peter Melt-Doaun, Free Speech, Work 'Til You Die

Hey you absolute savages. A few of the trash gang gathered around, sans guest, to break through the constant flux of drunkenness/hangover (except ethical boy Hussein), to bandy about some online nonsense.

Today we have @raaleh, @milo_edwards, @hkesvani, and @rocknrolga. 

We talk about Regular Man and Aspiring Hillary Clinton Toilet Peter Daou's propensity for targeted harrassment and extending the ongoing and utterly pointless 2016 primary, the ongoing and utterly pointless university free speech culture wars, the ongoing and utterly pointless American crusade to solve school shootings without removing guns, and a reading from the ongoing and utterly pointless literary career of Tory MP Nick Boles.

Artificial Intelligunce: Wyatt Koch, Elon Musk, Twitter Nazis ft. James Vincent

Merry Christmas you filthy animals - we were going to release this episode, including its excellent interview with AI journalist and labour activist James Vincent (@jjvincent), after Christmas, but decided to blow our loads early.

Riley (@raaleh) Abi (@AbiWilks) Pierre (@pierrenovellie) and Milo (@milo_edwards) are joined by James to talk about Wyatt Koch, the billionaire failson that is the crown jewel the new industrial strategy of America after its tax bill, why Twitter's internal metrics make it such a Nazi friendly platform, and Elon Musk's dumb as fuck plan to replace all public transit with personal underground tunnels.

In the second half, we turn over to James to talk about why AI superintelligence is a red herring - and the real problem is (drumroll) CAPITALISM!

TRASHMAS Special: Jake Paul, Goop, and Nigel Farage ft. HRTBPS

Happy Trashmas from Riley (@raaleh) Milo (@milo_edwards) and Hussein (@HKesvani), joined by HRTBPS (@hrtbps). We listen to traditional carols from from the Jake Paul hymnal, Litmas, we exchange crystal nootropic room spray from Gwyneth Paltrow's GOOP, and look into the holiday cheer that is Nigel Farage's life in shambles post-Brexit.

Riley ponders the merits of Maoist Third Worldism, Posadism, or good old fashioned Accelerationism to eradicate the decadent West.

The Shed Chronicles ft. Oobah Butler
