It's the spookiest season of all... the Boo-lidays.
No guest this week - Riley (@raaleh), Abi (@AbiWilks), Milo (@milo_edwards), and Hussein (@HKesvani) talk about inspirational business dullards, how pictures of cats on the ethereum blockchain cost $100,000 and burn holes in our ozone layer while making like two tech dipshits rich for no reason, John Rentoul's circumscribed vocabulary, silicon valley seeding its dork parties with attractive women, and online journalism's continued descent into hell world.
We also talk about getting so mad online, you go super saiyin (in this case, interpreted as grousing about Estonian folklore)
Somebody buy us a damn crypto kitty

The first episode featuring the fifth robot lion of our dumb internet Voltron! Journalist Abi Wilkinson (@AbiWilks) arrives as a guest and then is hoodwinked into leaving as a full time host because Hussein does the Get Out hypnosis on her.
We (Riley, Hussein, Alex, Milo, and Abi) talk about a dumb round up of internet greivances including the killer jaegerbomb of Praljak, Twitter's ongoing difficulty with Nazis, and the weird generational greivances of Independent editor Sean O'Grady, who thinks millenials are famously too rich for our own good.
The second half starts with a bizarre product, and then quickly transitions into a more serious discussion of the failures of Universal Credit and of the exterminist policies of right wing governments more generally.
Come see us for a live recording at Alex's show at the Star of Kings on January 9th!
Love,
Riley

Jack (@coplandresident) and Laura (@thisgeordielass) from Reel Politik (@reelpolitcast) "tighten their control" over the TRASHFUTURE airwaves, having an EXTREMELY late night and not-very-lucid call with Riley (@raaleh) and Milo (@milo_edwards).
We talk about the cryptocurrency boom and the company described as "uber for buses using blockchain to disrupt tipping" (lol), have general Russia banter, and then cities ritually humiliating themselves for Amazon to come rim their house prices.
We also have some very timely Mark Thatcher takes.

MINISODE ALERT! The era of bad audio is over, but I've managed to salvage one other clip we did a while ago on net neutrality to tide you over until we release a new full episode (in this, the new good audio era) tomorrow.
Alex Kealy (@alexkealy) sat down with Riley (@Raaleh), Milo (@milo_edwards), and Hussein (@HKesvani) to talk net neutrality, and the convo is so dang scintillating, Nikki (@NikkiS4) - mental health advocate and relationship advice columnist - jumped in with takes out the grill.
Full chaos episode with Reel Politik arriving tomorrow!

AUDIO WARNING. Riley (@Raaleh) fucked up royal and the entire episode recorded on the native laptop mic, rather than the very good mixer... so this is a rough, ready, TRASHFUTURE LO FI EDITION for your listening (dis)pleasure. I promise it'll be fixed up next week, as I'll have fired myself as producer.
The boys (including @Milo_Edwards and @HKesvani) are joined by guest host Olga Koch (@rocknrolga) to speak with journalist and Wales expert Elena Cresci (@elenacresci) about dumb internet shit - including Zoella's expensive advent calendar, a fan-submitted dumb app, and work out how we'll finally save our dang down payments. Hussein talks at length about Sausage Roll Jesus.
Like, subscribe, follow, do whatever you're supposed to with stuff you like!
And sorry again about the audio!
Love Riley xoxo

It's a TRASHFUTURE/Reel Politik mash up bonus weekend episode, as Jack Frayne-Reid (@coplandresident) calls up Riley (@raaleh), Hussein (@HKesvani) on Skype to chat bollocks about music, discuss the implications of James Bridle's great Medium post on Youtube Kids weirdness, and intelligence analyst Eric Garland's disturbing new revelations about Russia in the context of the recent wave of crime and corruption in elite circles.
An incredibly hung over Milo Edwards (@milo_edwards) hops on the call later on and stays as long as he can hold his head upright.
Reel Politik (@reel_politcast) is a great podcast we all listen to regularly here on the TRASHFUTURE, and if you're not listening then you're a goofy. While you're at it, follow us on twitter (@trashfuturepod).
We recorded this episode entirely on Skype, and something is a little tinny with Riley's audio (soz!)
James Bridle's post is here, and worth a read if you haven't already: https://medium.com/@jamesbridle/something-is-wrong-on-the-internet-c39c471271d2

Milo (@milo_edwards) and Riley (@raaleh), with Alex Kealy (@alexkealy) subbing in for Hussein (@HKesvani) and Charlie (@cfppalmer)... talk to Maya Kosoff (@mekosoff), tech features writer for Vanity Fair! She was sent a wifi coffee cup called Ember that comes with a charging coaster you're not allowed to get wet... So it was immediately clear to everyone she had to come on. We also talk Tiffany "Everyday Objects," Facebook's interest in our nudes, and Twitter's interest in Nazis.

The garbagemen Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@milo_edwards), and Hussein (@HKesvani) are joined by leftist journalist and author Hannah Jewell (@HCJewell), whose new book 100 Nasty Women of History came out last week! We talk with her about labour organising and feminism in the digital age AND in history (both!), and also a bunch of other dumb internet nonsense.
DUMB INTERNET NONSENSE includes, but is not limited to, the Bin Laden files, the Antifa attack that wasn't (or at the time of recording, was not to be), liberal morons sanctimoniously reinventing philosophy, and the antinatalism of the British royal family, and whatever else I can't remember.
Like and subscribe fools!
(PS: we've had to cancel the show next week due to scheduling issues - but stay tuned in January!)

Another half sode this week pals... but this time, it's due to technical issues. My computer ate the second half. This was an episode we - Riley (@raaleh) and Milo (@milo_edwards) recorded with comedian Phil Wang (@PhilNWang) last month, and we bullshit for a while about a few dumb inventions and other fun nonsense!
We recorded this episode last month, just before Hussein (@HKesvani) joined up full, so expect to see more of him in the coming weeks as we start recording afresh.
Like, follow, and subscribe... and come to our dang live show in London on November 14th!

Half ‘sode this week with your boys – Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@milo_edwards), and Hussein (@HKesvani), sit down with Ryan Broderick (@Broderick), deputy global head of news at Buzzfeed and host of the Internet Explorer podcast to get a run down his experience hosting a Russian futurism conference (spoiler alert it sucks and nothing works). Short ‘sode this week because Ryan had to run in the middle because the GODDAMN NEWS never sleeps. We were gonna do a smart episode I swear. We just got way too stupid.
In other news we’re having our very first LIVE SHOW in London at the Betsey Trotwood on November 14th with… Riley, Hussein, and Ryan Broderick (from this very show!), joined by friends of the show Pierre Novellie, Alex Kealy, and Olga Koch. We’ll be doing a mix of stand up and “show,” and at £7, you can’t afford NOT to go.
