Ep 79Episode 77 - Orlando Doom

E

We explore the critical question facing treatboys everywhere; what if the corporate behemoth you've invested all your fantasies in suddenly turns woke and takes the racist toys away? Well, you put on a big strop in the papers and we (and you!) get to read all about it. Also we don't even mention wallpaper or John Lewis once, we've declared victory in Iraq, and speculate on who's next after Boris.

Ep 78Episode 76 - London's Special Guy ft.WDTATW

E

We're joined by the London Metropolitan Elite, Adam and Huw from We Don't Talk About the Weather, to discuss all the fine candidates and ideas for the London mayoral race. Just how many cops could YOU fit inside an affordable home? Are you ready for a success win lifestyle? How do you feel about congestion charges? All that plus #Britcoin, lobster-filled tables in Oman, AND more fire-and-rehire garbage. Perfect to listen to while you ignore everyone else in the pub garden.

Ep 77Episode 75 - Landlord, Landduke, Landqueen ft. LEFT/OVER

E

We're here not to bury Philip, but to insinuate things about him because you cannot libel the dead. Aarjan and Nikita from LEFT/OVER join the pod to discuss the chill response to an old guy dying, the British Gas fire and rehire, and the latest not-at-all-fash hirings from the Home Office. Also we explore the Crown Estate, why you can't pick mussels in Scotland, and the monarchy teams up with DC Comics - it's property all the way down!

Ep 76Episode 74 - On Jacks Ryan

E

The Cultural Committee convenes again, finally getting round to an episode we've talked about for months but just never bothered to record! Join us as we look at a genre of film - where we will not be talking about James Bond - and consider what makes a good secret agent film, what makes a bad one, and what they're really trying to say (it's usually "Imperialism is good actually") Follow us @Praxiscast Cast David - @SanitaryNaptime James - @anarchonbury Jamie - @CopRespecter420

Ep 75Episode 73 - Mall The Rage

E

We watched some extremely cursed telly called Shoplifters: At War With the Law to discuss the fash-lite world of mall security guards and how it helps explain the small minded psychosis of Britain. Plus brand new oil wells, British Gas being pricks, and the latest Musk doings in lower orbit. Also, furtherer adventures in pronunciation.

Ep 74Episode 72 - It's the Scotpol Episode

E

We finally did it. By popular - and thoroughly misinformed - demand, we recorded an episode all about Scottish Politics in the run up to the 2021 Holyrood elections, and on the day that the ice lolly wielding veteran of Holyrood, Alex Salmond, declared he was setting up a new party so that he can be terrible in a whole new way. If you don't know your scotpol, do not fear, as we'll hold your hand through the tedious labyrinth of pointless parties, bizarre photo ops, and piles of dead ideology, all under the watchful gaze of The One Question.

Ep 73Episode 71 - Which Way, Western Ham? ft. Matt Zarb-Cousin

E

We're back and excited to be joined by Matt Zarb-Cousin as we take another look at the increasingly bizarre world of NFT "art", the astonishing failure of the Football Index (obviously not a Ponzi Scheme), and the good news that nukes are breeding again in the UK. But really, it's all about the one year anniversary of Kieth Labour - so how's that going?

E

Content warning: several mentions of mental health and suicide in the first news bit.

Ep 71Episode 69 - B Road to the Danger Zone

E

Do you like planes? Do you like ships? Do you like never amounting to your potential amid a raft of wonderful promises and a lot of effort being put in by others? Then you'll love the Queen Elizabeth class carrier and the F-35, the boat that sinks in warm water and the plane that kills more of it's own pilots than any other demographic! We take a look at the wild boondoggling that these projects have been endemic with and the total failure the whole thing has been, among some other little pieces of news, some food discourse (where we re-affirm our position as a pro chocolate orange podcast), and Kiethment or Kiethmentariat. Also, Stream Alert! David & Rob will be on Sinan's stream on the day of release at 7pm at twitch.tv/SKTheCrusader to talk about Kieth and all things Labour, so join us in the chat!

E

We've brought on Eleanor Janega as a special treat to discuss the friendship crisis of Tories at Marxist universities, why "free speech" is just another word for calipers, new voter ID rules, the latest tech that hates you, and we're re-opening schools yet again.

E

There's been some technical issues so this one's a bit shorter than usual, sorry about that. Still, we've got solar panel scams, twirling bowties, disease barracks, and keep up with the latest spycops bill twists and turns.

E

It's your hot stonk tips podcast, bursting with Gamestop content, shorting your Labour options before the elections, and buying hard gamma on Russia-connected laptops for schoolkids. But really we're here for 2021, the season of Labour Big Ideas - that's why we're reading an Ian Dunt article about the whiz-bang economic future under Kieth.

Did you know there is still a forever war going on? There is, and we're going to talk about it! Join us as we delve into the Pestonian question of "what is going on?" in Afghanistan, and how we've ended up there, a sharp nosedive into a very big brained article about why Baz isn't wrong about English nationalism actually, he's just misunderstood, and another interview with the Simulated Opposition. All of this, and with a special guest appearance from *checks notes* Norts Burger? Noot Brigadier? There's 12 of them anyway.

Content Warning: One mention of rape in the spycops discussion Distinctly short on Jameses, the pod shares half a pepper to talk food parcels, Elon Musk’s space feudalism, the failed attempt to rein in the new Spycops bill (thanks Kieth!), but we spend most of our time talking about the US Capitol Chicken Coup and the future of our online politics and the platforms we all love.

Ep 63Episode 61 - New Year, New Keir (It’s Kieth)

E

We celebrate 2021 with an extra-long episode that may start with lighthearted movie chat, but then veers into big dinner parties, Rob’s screaming rage at Peston, the Assange verdict, and a big helping of everything ‘rona. We’ve got schools, ski resorts, and lockdown levels. Also James introduces a new character, the truly eerie Kieth AI. (Recorded before the former colonies went hogwild again.)

We hide out in the privatised royal train toilets, support Iran through buying water futures in California, but spend most of our time in the quantum world of freeports, where job creation, wealth, and art may or may not exist, but you can be sure nobody's paying any tax.

Ep 60Episode 58 - An Economy Fit to Burst

E

Taking a look at the austerity still being forced on us all by the recent Spending Review, we examine what this might mean for us all, why this keeps happening, the economic illiteracy of the media class that allows it to.

E

Fully stocked on Jameses, we return to Normal Island to finally get around talking about the Corbyn (un)suspension, define Scottish city limits, and fire journalists at No. 10 with a mortar.

The dang cheeto is/could be/may not be out of the White House and his replacement is another senile old racist and capitalist lickspittle. We talk about the Trump and Biden campaigns, the worst and most predictable commentariat reactions (incl. Kieth), and discuss what we all really want to see from the US secret archives.

We venture forth onto the most insufferable parts of the internet - condescending austere twitter - to gaze upon the culinary marvels that people who almost always turn out to be landlords, demand that you feed your children since the free school meals are off. Also, we take a look at the Socialist Campaign Group's pamphlet titled "Winning the Future: Socialist responses to the coronavirus crisis" to find out just how the Labour Left intend to remain relevant.

It's another cultural committee outing, with special guest Sinan Kose! We left the topic of this episode in your hands dear listeners, and proving that democracy doesn't work once again, you selected Star Trek, wherein we debate over what kind of utopia the Federation is, because it's definitely not communist, dissect some of the extremely immediately post 9/11 content that is still very much pervasive in the series, and admit that we all know what the holodeck is really for.

It's a full tour of Britain (well, except Wales) as we open the door to ScotPol, discuss the delightful and varied (alleged) crimes of Tory MPs and Lords, report from the increasingly unhinged fronts of the terf wars, and end on a delightful note of Comment or Commentariat. Also, the podcrew went and did a bunch of libel etc. during the recording so it took a bit to get this one out.

The PiP Cultural Committee is back in session to discuss vidja games, representations of colonialism and political conflict overall. We're very excited to be joined by Josh Sawyer, lead designer of such classics as Icewind Dale II, Fallout: New Vegas, and Pillars of Eternity. Most recently he was the narrative designer for Pillars of Eternity 2, set in a fantasy world where colonisation is part of the narrative. Who better to talk to as we discuss "why must there be politics in the shooty-shooty-stabby-stabby"? Like the chat? Why not pick up Pillars of Eternity 2 and grapple with colonial representation yourself? Pod Personnel: Jamie, Ben, James, Rob and Very Special Guest Josh Sawyer Pod Link: Colonialism is fun?

Both weebles and anglosphere political systems wobble, but they won’t fall down. In this episode, David, Jamie, James, and Seb talk about the police as space marines, and statues as the Inciting Incident. Then they speculate on the potential for uprisings in the US and the UK, and how far we’re into the cool zone. Also there’s space marines.

First thing to note is the time of recording on this episode was Wednesday 3rd June, so things have... escalated a little since then. Rob, Natalie, Elijah and James (not that one, or that one, or even that one) talk about the US reactions to the murder by cop of George Floyd, why Britain isn't any more progressive in how it handles race, and why civil disobedience is a proven method of effectively forcing change.

We completely ruined the news episode we were trying to record simply by being ourselves. It was a shambles from start to finish and could not be saved on the editing table. As reparation for that, here's the long awaited second part of our cultural series wherein we examine the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including how Tony Stark is a liberal hero and how the seeds of eco-fascist propaganda have been right there the whole time.

Ep 38Episode 37 - Afterberner

E

In 2020, a crack podcasters unit was shadowbanned for the crime of supporting Bernie and Corbyn. These men promptly escaped from maximum security Twitter jail to the shitposting underground. In this episode, still wanted by the government, they discuss the failure of the Bernie movement to capture the Dem nomination and draw transatlantic comparisons to Labour, before it got a sweet haircut.

It’s the EU pod takeover you definitely didn’t vote for! To take your minds off the ‘rona, three dirty foreigners come together to close your pubs, supplant your royal family, and make you listen to an extended discussion about the Euro(zone). Elijah and Rob are joined by special guest star Merijn to discuss the origins and problems with the ‘common currency’, try to explain the Greek debt crisis, and how hardworking northern ants shouldn’t pay for lazy, corona-infected southern grasshoppers.

The quarantine squad is back, bored to shit and hungover! Wonders await you within! DELIGHT at our petty childish moaning about the Big Brain Adult Labour leader. OUTRAGE at our schadenfreude over capitalist parasites losing their investment properties. BE AMAZED at our callous lack of preparedness and research. PLAY ALONG with our new game, Guess The Press, having finally done the right thing and taken the commentariat out of the equation.

Coughing and spluttering, the pod returns with the addition of a fresh Ben who is an actual knowledge-haver on matters of viruses and how they spread, dunno why but we thought let’s get him on as it’s a slow news week. Also we decide which of us must be thrown into the volcano to appease The Economy. ALL HAIL NUMBER. (Note: this was recorded on Thursday 12th March, and all numbers have got much worse since then.)

The very best podcasters, who all definitely got here through their own excellence, discuss the concept of meritocracy and how it's absolutely 100% real, and you too, could be a high tier podcaster like any of us - just so long as you've got the right genetic aptitude for it Follow us @Praxiscast Cast: Alasdair Ben David Jamie Rob

Ep 31Episode 30 - Title Redacted - Bloomberg NDA

E

It's time to gaze across the Atlantic again to the very extremely real country that is the USA, and bask in the complete failure of the melts in the Democrats to fight off an unelectable and divisive socialist in the arena of democracy. Not only is it good for laughing at the meltdowns, but there are some good lessons to be had from the campaign, and we take a little look at what the Bernie Campaign has done differently from Labour during the Corbyn era that seems to have worked better. Also, some Comment or Commentariat.
