Podcasting is Praxis

Special guest Riley from TRASHFUTURE joins us to talk about the disgraceful left wing bias inherent in BBC comedy. Cast: Riley - @raaleh David - @sanitarynaptime Alasdair - @sa_ballistari Jamie - @wizardcubes

In this bonusode, Rob talks with Daezy (@naija0329 ) about BTS, the ARMY fanbase, perceptions of BTS and Korean music in the media, and how much fun it is to argue with Frances Tweetman. Which it isn't. But you do get to meet actually nice people online and have the chance to learn something new. If you're not familiar, go listen to some of it on YouTube and see/hear for yourself!

Mic Wright earns the first-ever PiP double guest challenge coin as we talk about grouse moors, the return of God and His dislike of melts, and an extended double header on the current state of the Labour party.

We did it! One full year of Podcasting is Praxis, and we're still going, thanks in no part to a series of individuals, circumstances, and happenings over the last year. We thought we'd do the right thing, and take a look back on a few of the choicest cuts on the rotten, decayed leg bone that has been this last year.

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. Follow us @Praxiscast, and check Sinan's streams at twitch.tv/SKTheCrusader Cast David - @SanitaryNaptime James - @anarchonbury Jamie - @wizardcubes Sinan - @TheSinanKose

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. See if you can spot where it occurred. @Praxiscast for all your daily podtweet needs Podcrew: David (@SanitaryNaptime) James (@Anarchonbury) Rob (@CountRthe) Jamie (@Wizardcubes) Ben (@toadmeister :V)

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?

You, the listener, are cancelled. You’re all cancelled. The Cultural Marxists are back after a brief technical failure to open your Epstein Brain, feel very bad for JK Rowling’s menshies, and take you to a small business tyrant for a 10-quid-off pizza dinner. It’s a cavalcade of positivity as we end with a heaping helping of Comment or Commentariat.

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.

There’s way too much news and revolution going on at the moment, so we called in Hussein Kesvani (@Hkesvani) to help us out. Rowling’s TERF tirade, swimming statues, heroic traffic lights, and Very British Culture Wars. You want it, we got it! Also we discuss clipboards at sexparties, and finish with a delightful dessert of statue-only Comment or Comment or Commentariat. Recorded before the Churchill piss protests.

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.

In our first fully unplanned episode, James posits the question of electoralism - a viable tool for the left? David, Jamie and Seb try to answer this but as always it descends into... anarchy?

It’s back to the satanic news mill for our crew of beaten-down, isolated podcasters as they lifted their infected eyes up to the heavens and see the End Is Nigh. Doesn’t matter whether it’s the supposed end of ‘rona lockdown, the Forensic Haircut now leading Labour, or the gibbering madness of political sketch writing, the crew is losing sanity points by the bucket. Soon, they shall swim out to that brooding reef in the sea and dive down through black abysses to Cyclopean and many-columned Y’ha-nthlei and live with Michael Gove.

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 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.

We’re back with season 2 of Podcasting is Praxis; it’ll be grittier, darker and probably all downhill from here - a perfect mirror for reality. David (@SanitaryNaptime), Rob (@CountRthe), Jamie (@Wizardcubes), and James (@BrovineOfBored) talk Iran, discuss the Labour leadership election, and Rob loses his mind at Polly Toynbee’s middlebrow garbage.

It's almost time. It's almost HAPPENING. Elijah, James, Matt & Jamie take a look at some of the last things to come out of the winter election, and think back to some of the dumbest highlights of the whole long and painful time, and then the collective has a bit of a think about who, as individuals, we'll be voting for.

Content Warning: TERFs, Transphobia In this episode, Natalie, Matt and James run David through a few aspects of the challenges and barriers that society - and some of the worst in it - puts up for people who aren't cisgender. They also explain the type of help that's actually available, and how it's woefully incapable of operating at anything close to the necessary capacity. One of the reasons we're keen to do these types of episodes - and there will be more down the line - is to confront our ignorance, listen to some people with a bit more knowledge, and engage with it. It's about trying to make ourselves more rounded people, and better allies to others. We hope that if you're in a similar position to David, you come out of this episode feeling more confident in your understanding of a subject you may know very little about: the struggles that trans people go through. Also in a first for this podcast, we talk Scottish Pol- no wait, don't go! James gives us a good rundown of how they see transphobia taking hold within the Scottish political establishment across a multitude of parties, a topic they will expand upon in more detail on another episode...

Polls! Polls? Polls. Rather than have a big obsessive panic about number go up, number go down, we take a look at what MRP actually means, and the reasons that polling is a bit pointless until the only poll that matters; the exit poll. Also, we take a brief look back over the Climate Change debate, a fun jaunt into the CUKTIG Manifesto Pamphlet and enjoy the fightback against media bias through twitter antics that have forced Jo Swinson to carefully avoid denying allegations that she's a squirrel murderer (again, we live for this) (also, RIP Richard Miller) Follow us at http://twitter.com/Praxiscast Cast: Rob - http://twitter.com/CountRThe Alasdair - http://twitter.com/SA_Ballistari James (Original flavour) - http://twitter.com/BrovineofBored Jamie - F Andrew

It's nearly time!

We're on a roll! In part one of our first ever two part episode, we cast our minds back to when Johnson and Swinson lived out their personal nightmares on live TV.* We also chat voter registration and the baffling state of the BBC turning full propagandist, before pivoting hard left towards the Labour Manifesto. When we recorded this we originally intended to just run for the usual one episode length, but it turns out that when you give a load of socialists good policies to get out there, we don't shut up, so that's why you've got a two parter.

Join us for a look back at some of last week's highlights in election hell, including our takes on the first election debate, laughing at Jo Swinson trying to go full Welcome to City 17 as some sort of complaint, and a complete failure among us to grasp exactly how Lib Dem policy even exists.

Slightly late release here, but we're taking a little break from the election to cover something that we're all sick to death of talking around - the EU. Rob leads the discussion with a primer on what the EU is, leading to some discussion on whether or not the EU could ever truly be something good, and we deep dive into the bendy banana bunker for some choice headlines in our guessing game, where the answer is always hellworld.

Another week of news, another series of self-owns, including the Brexit Party collapsing in on itself, the Lib Dem's making sure they follow the lead of another protest vote party and doing the same, Johnson attempting to appear as if he didn't fall out of a spacecraft and Swinson fully embracing the death of humility.

It's election season, and that means that loads of people are going from door to door to get their party's message out. In this episode, Michael, Seb, Chris and our guest Alicia talk about what's involved in campaigning, how to navigate the kinds of questions that come up on the doorstep, how to contribute if the doorstep isn't your thing, and just generally why it's a good thing to do!

We're back! Sorry for the late release, but we're back with an almost full episode. We recorded this before Parliament's Super Saturday, so we've just chopped out the Brexit update, so instead, we've got some of the lesser reported parts of last week's news, as well as an article in which Toby Young starts with a fair point and ends with brain spiders, Comment or Commentariat, and a bunch of promises on our part that we really hope aren't hollow!

We did it, we finally got some time and a break in the news to do a climate change episode! Hooray! Come join Natalie, Rob, Matty, James, and Dan for a wonderful adventure into the burning hellworld that is our planet. As well as a look at how capitalism ruins everything it touches, there's a dip into climate activism - from the mass engagement of Gen Z with FridaysforFuture, to the mass engagement of Extinction Rebellion activists with the police - a raft of potential solutions to climate change including the idea of the Green New Deal, and in place of Comment or Commentariat, a game of Capitalist or Supervillian (but I repeat myself) Links: Naomi Klein: 'Let Them Drown: the violence of othering in a warming world' Earth Strike

To cap off Conference Season, it's unfortunately time to cover the Tories. Join us for a look at the absolutely baffling lack of new ideas, and the horrifying doubling down on some of the older stuff. On this week's episode, Jon makes his first appearance alongside Alasdair, Jamie, Rob & David, not just for the conference, but for some coverage of the news (there's good stuff this week!), an article that combines bootlicking with being horny on main, and Comment or Commentariat.

In this week's episode, Alasdair (@SA_Ballistari), David (@SanitaryNaptime), Ben (smart man who doesn't use twitter), Seb (@PCSocialism) and Xander (@xjmaw) tackle Tom Watson's narrowly avoiding being dissolved in acid, the aftermath of the Supreme Court ruling on the prorogation of parliament, the collapse of Thomas Cook a la every other mega conglomerated business like Carillion, Joris Bohnson's relationship with an American business woman that is bad, but not for the reason everyone is saying it is; and the big topic this week, Labour conference, with all the extremely good stuff that's been coming from The World Transformed fringe manifesto and the actual conference itself. Main highlights there are the Green New Deal (https://www.labourgnd.uk/) and all the actual policies that were announced by all our favourites from the Labour Party. We also follow up with another article that further sends Alasdair into the realm of the mad god, and another round of Comment or Commentariat, with some of our favourite friends of the show.
