Ep 105Black Thoughts 2 - Work Bullshit

E

For this second episode of Black Thoughts, James (@anarchonbury) talks about the phenomenon of bullshit in the world of work. With Capitalism focused on profit above all else, why do its workplaces keep reproducing bullshit behaviours that appear to detract from the ruthless pursuit of efficiency?

Ep 104PraxisChat 1 - Corporate Landlords w/ Nick Bano

E

This is an interview episode in which Rob and David speak to Nick Bano about the corporatisation of landlordism in the UK, off the back of his great article in Tribune about the subject (https://tribunemag.co.uk/2021/08/big-business-loves-the-housing-crisis). The problems are bad, and they could get worse, hooray! Nick is a housing and homelessness lawyer, activist, and scourge of chancer landlords.

Ep 102E99 - Ask Not For Whom The Scotpol Tolls

E

While Alasdair undertakes a daring raid to rescue the fast food infrastructure abandoned in Afghanistan, the rest of us talk about bad decisions, covering ScotPol, Prince Andrew keeping his hat, the forthcoming Brexit food wars, and the deep and entirely appropriate love of the Guardian for right wing psychopaths.

Ep 92Black Thoughts 1 - Class

E

In this inaugural episode of Black Thoughts, James (@anarchonbury) outlines a basic Marxist vision of class, then contrasts it with how they think the British public really experience class.

We're back to examine the distinctly whiffy corpse of the Labour Party, fresh off it's massive win in a Tory marginal to launch some pro-business policies. We love it, folks, don't we love it?

Or don't, I'm not your real dad. *** It's serious business hours at Praxiscast HQ this week as we discuss the absolute shambles of Britain's mental health services, with a focus on one especially terrible idea that someone had to "help" the mentally ill.

Ep 89E87 - (Editor) Destruction Zone

E

The Only Responsible Adult on the podcast left for just ONE recording and the kids were left alone with a big bag of sugar and heat madness. It went about as well as you think. In between bouts of [HEAVILY EDITED CONTENT], we discuss Amazon’s Destruction Zone, smart thermometers run by Skynet, and laugh our heads off at the electoral powerhouse that is the Labour Party. Then the reading series lets us discuss the benevolence of landlords.

E

We tried to do a final roundup of the post election situation for Labour, but true to form they didn’t allow this because they managed to extend the meltdown for a week, so this isn’t *fully* up to date any more but we tried.

Ep 80Episode 78 - Trawling Through Misery ft. Dr Eleanor Janega

E

There is an election today (probably, depending on where you are and when you read this), and we will largely not be talking about it on this episode. Instead, we're joined by the wonderful Dr. Eleanor Janega to NOT talk about Justified, but to talk about yet more Higher Education meddling by the tories to force you into STEM subjects, a death cult that enjoys chocolate, a cursed book which everyone except Rob hopes is never released, and the plight of communities around Britain's coasts which have been decimated by the destruction of the fishing industry. Fittingly, we also wheel out AI Starmer, for a very frank conversation about his position.

Well, you put on a big strop in the papers and we (and you!) get to read all about it.

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.

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.

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.

Ep 66Episode 64 - Shorting $Dunty

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.

Ep 65Episode 63 - Operation: Enduring English ft. Nate Bethea

E

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.)

A bit late due to an outbreak of editor’s lurgy, but we’re here to talk about Labour’s new reward system for callers, Watt Tomson Bookies gives you all the hot tips you need for 2021, and hoovers will have superpowers in the post-Brexit realm.

Ep 61Episode 59 - Any Freeport in a Storm

E

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. Coming soon to a depressed local economy near you!

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.

Ep 59Episode 57 - We Live In Antony Now

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. But we spend most of our time talking about the UK's most threatened class: the aristocracy.

Ep 58Episode 56 - The Road to Hell Is Paved With Melts

E

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. Also Elijah has some suggestions for deep frying.

Ep 57Episode 55 - We Can't Stop at Little Chef, We've Got Big Dinners at Home

E

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. If we figure it out, we'll let you know. T-SHIRTS! We now have T-Shirts!
