TRASHFUTURE

This week, we're speaking with IPPR researcher and friend of the show Laurie Laybourn-Langton (@Laurie_L_L) about his new book 'Planet on Fire: A Manifesto for the Age of Environmental Breakdown' (co-authored with Matthew Lawrence). We also talk about a deeply stupid SPAC that JD Vance is hawking, and some other stuff about the whole climate thing. Yes, the guy who runs the SPAC is named Jeff W. Ubben. You can buy Laurie's book here (it debuts on April 20): https://www.versobooks.com/books/3702-planet-on-fire If you want access to our Patreon bonus episodes, early releases of free episodes, and powerful Discord server, sign up here: https://www.patreon.com/trashfuture We support the London Renters Union, which helps people defeat their slumlords and avoid eviction.

We're back again to explain the eccentricities and fault lines of this truly normal island. This week, Milo and Nate discuss the 1970s in Britain, why everything went downhill, why the decade radicalised the Boomers, and why the TV from that era is.... not good. Hope you enjoy!

Contrary to popular belief, we were not the people who broke the story about Lex Greensill and supply chain finance -- we just fell in love with it because it was the perfect intersection of all our interests (tech bullshit, obvious fraud, Australians, guys). However, someone who has been on this story since its inception is Financial Times journalist Rob Smith (@BondHack), and he's on the show today to review what's happened in this big ol' mess-er-idoo.

“We’re bringing the jobs back!” has long been the rallying cry of the right, but what kinds of businesses are actually coming back to places like Lordstown, Ohio? We are joined by Bryan Quinby (@murderxbryan) of Street Fight Radio to do a deep dive on Lordstown Motors - a “too good to be true” electric car manufacturer that has set up shop in the town of the same name. It’s all well and good when rich people take money off one another, but what about the workers who believe their lives are getting back on track? The primary source for this episode was this report published by short seller Hindenburg Research, which also similarly exposed Nikola. https://hindenburgresearch.com/lordstown/ If you want access to our Patreon bonus episodes and powerful Discord server, sign up here: https://www.patreon.com/trashfuture *NEW SHIRTS ALERT* We are accepting pre-orders for two new shirt designs -- get them here! https://www.trashfuture.co.uk/shop We support the London Renters Union, which helps people defeat their slumlords and avoid eviction.

We sat down with Leslie Kern (@LellyK)--feminist geographer, academic, and author of Feminist City: Claiming Space in a Man-Made World--to discuss what it means that "a feminist city is a police free city," in the wake of a slew of misogynistic, racist, and otherwise generally brutal actions attributed to London's finest. First, though, we take a look with some satisfaction at Deliveroo's shoddy IPO performance.

Get grußpilled with Corner Späti's Nick Babkitis and the BBC's own Dr Xand van Tulleken on the topic of the EU's vaccine disaster, what the hell is going on in Germany, why Russians don't want the Sputnik vaccine, and what happens if an injection makes a German guy British.

This week, we’re joined by Sam Knight of the District Sentinel (@TheDCSentinel) to discuss a U.S. Supreme Court case that may make it even harder for union organizers to meet with farm labourers in the US. With the exceptionally rational and normal composition of the Court, chances are good that this could make things even worse. We also discuss Prince Harry becoming the chief engagement officer at a mental health startup in the US, because why wouldn’t he.

This week, Nate and Milo address the important issue: why is there a culture of getting on it and getting completely blasted out of your mind? What is a big night out? What is the sesh? What is the deal with those guys in the picture? To help our investigation, we brought on nightlife expert and journalist Tom Usher (@Tom_Usher_) to discuss.

In this episode, Milo takes Nate on the most inscrutable journey yet: a vision of British 1980s/90s sitcoms that are too cockney to be parsed without a translator. Yes, it's the 'Heroes and Villains' episode of Only Fools and Horses, perhaps the most British thing Nate has had to encounter yet, and the one that did the most to break his spirit. Hope you enjoy!

Boonta Vista's Andrew and Trashfuture's Riley are back with a brand new "show within a show" about the lasting cultural impact of September 11. In the first episode they introduce the show and discuss Oliver Stone's World Trade Center, the commoditisation of tragedy, memorial NASCAR races and a two word phrase from that fateful day that lives on in cultural infamy. Just like the Boney Island Whitefish before it, further episodes of American Psychosis will be dropping monthly on both the Trashfuture and Boonta Vista Patreons!

This week, we've brought on Aaron Thorpe (@thotteusstevens) of the Trillbillies and A Time of Monsters podcasts, to discuss the British royal family and the recent Oprah interview with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

We explore a fun new start up that solves the most difficult problem of paying down debt: the user interface. Then, we go on to explore the strange triangulations in British politics of who can compete to give nurses a more reasonable pittance. Will Starmer be easily outmanoeuvred by the Tories, who will continue to successfully implement their patronage model of the economy? Of course he will!

We finally got around to the thing that everyone told us to do: review Guy Ritchie's King Arthur movie, a film in which the early medieval legend is rendered as a tale of East London geezers.

Algorithm jockey and financial wizard Emily (@theemilyaccount) talks about how the Tech Boom, enabled as it was by overly restrictive monetary and fiscal policy, is starting to come apart at the seams. Was it a bubble? Is it popping? Too early to say, but not too early to enjoy a little schadenfreude! We also explore the nature and role of ARKK, the actively managed ETF beloved by redditors, and hated by the rest of Wall Street for all the wrong reasons. Plus, Johannes Vonk and the Clogheads return with a new song recovered from the archives.

Finance journalist Matthew Zeitlin (@mattzeitlin) joins the gang to discuss the wild and wonderful world of SPACs, which is basically the of company that happens when the Line gets really bored and just wants to feel something. Think of them as loot crates for investors. We also explore the dark underbelly or London’s Scottish restaurant scene, and have a little fun with a startup.

It's time once again for Britainology, and this week Milo and Nate are joined by Phoebe Roy (who you have have heard on Masters of Our Domain and 10,000 Posts) to discuss British 9/11. Do we mean 7/7? The 2011 riots? No, we mean the death of the Queen of Our Hearts, Princess Diana Spencer, in August 1997.

UK state media and its various grotesques have decided that the 'free speech crisis on campus' is more important than our abysmal covid death rate--and pretty much any other story in the media.

This week, a nearly complete cast of Riley, Milo, Nate, and Alice speak with Jessica Eaton, a fine art photographer working in Montreal. Why is it that the art world is basically a billionaire tax dodge? Why do certain hedge funds seem to have so much weight in fine art purchases, even if the works are never shown?

We managed to cobble together the entire cast in order to discuss three important things: first, Silicon Valley has reinvented the bus yet again. Next, Labour is simply falling apart, and their solution is: flag and troops. Finally, Toby Young wants to be a lord. Join all five of us as we do psychic damage to one another engaging with this.

Britain continues to come crashing into contact with reality as the price of everything is going up, food rots in containers on both sides of the channel, and our entire political media ecosystem is wrapped in a spectacle of multilayered morality dramas about if the right people are feeling suitably guilty. What can we say but: "ahh, the British Isles." We did an episode about the Gamestop short squeeze, and it features @Quantian1 and @neoliberal_dad, two finance geniuses with a lot to say on the topic.

We've brought on friend of the show and multiple returning champion Séamus Malekafzali to discuss Saudi Arabia's deranged new city -- Neom -- and the specific detail that they're going to make a perfectly linear city called The Line. Do you know what its name is in Arabic? It's ذا لاين. Which is literally tha laaeen. Normal country, normal project!

Our friend Patrick Wyman is back! And this week, after a brief jaunt down start up lane, we discuss the rapid radicalisation of the Anglo-American upper-middle class liberal, as they all seem to have gotten too much news recently. We've talked for ages in the past about your aggro conservative uncle, now it's time for the history, sociology, and economy of your aggro centrist uncle! Patrick's excellent substack, Perspectives: Past, Present, and Future can be found at Patrickwyman.substack.com, and you can check him out weekly in Discontents (https://discontents.substack.com/) alongside many names you may recognise.

What the hell is going on with equity markets? Why is Tesla worth so much despite doing so little? Why has the line divorced itself from reality, and how long has this trend been happening? To answer this question, we brought on Joe Weisenthal (@TheStalwart) of the Odd Lots podcast at Bloomberg to discuss.

As a follow-up to our coverage of the recent events in Washington, we decided to speak with Annie Kelly of the QAnonAnonymous podcast (@AnnieKNK). What is the Q overlap with these protesters? What do they do now, seeing as the day of The Storm has come and gone? Find out by listening.

This week, we've brought on Tom Sexton and Tarence Ray of the Trillbillies Worker's Collective podcast (@thetrillbillies) to discuss the recent events in Washington: the US Senate flipping to the Democrats (and thus empowering Joe Manchin, the West Virginia Democratic Senator who never met an opioid company he didn't love), and of course some other stuff that happened involving guys in red hats.

Unlocking this episode in light of Parler et al being banhammered by the rest of the internet. This episode is all about the history and economics of one of the most strange and resentful subsectors of the tech industry: tech companies started by right wingers and grievances. Original Copy: Have you heard the story about right-wingers who decide to build their own social media, crowdfunding, or even ridesharing sites? We're talking Parler, Gab, Hatreon, and the like. Why do they all fail? Why are they so poorly assembled? And why does this keep happening? Riley, Milo, and Alice attempt to decipher this riddle for our times.

Have you heard of a book called 'Nudge'? have you heard of 'nudge theory'? Well, we've dug into and -- believe it or not -- it's so deeply stupid that we had to make sure to discuss it on here as part of our Intelligence series with Chapo Trap House's Felix Biederman (@ByYourLogic).

We're off this week, but we've unlocked our Netflix Part 2 episode for you to enjoy. We brought on Jathan Sadowski (@jathansadowski) and Ed Ongweso Jr (@bigblackjacobin) from This Machine Kills Podcast to discuss the famously sane and healthy workplace culture of Netflix with Riley, Milo, and Alice.

On this festive Britainology we are joined by Alice to discuss the 1982 Falklands War. Why has it permanently lodged in the psyche of the Boomers? Why do people care about these rocks in the middle of the South Atlantic? Why did a British task force commander decide to explode himself in order to dislodge a machine gun position?

It sure is great we solved music piracy! How did we solve it? Well, by enriching two Swedish men and ensuring that only a handful of artists see any revenue from their music when it’s streamed. We are, of course, discussing Spotify -- and we’ve brought on Dan Boeckner (@DanBoeckner) of the bands Wolf Parade (@WolfParade) and Operators (@Operators_Band) to discuss it.

We did a deep dive into the ways in which being a Tory donor means you'll get massive, no-bid contracts for government services -- even if you massively fail at providing them over and over again!

We are joined by George Pearkes, macro strategist at Bespoke Invest and all around financial funnyman, to peek under the hood of the world's largest owner of assets: BlackRock. What do you do when you own nearly everything? As we will see in the episode, you try to own more things until you can really do away with that "nearly." Also, we talk about Uber's decision to drop its self driving car division and the thrilling conclusion (?) to Laguna Beach's billionaire battlefront, as bond king Bill Gross's war with his neighbour enters its denouement. Also, special thanks to Neoliberal Dad on twitter for cooking up some of the core ideas explored herein.

David Adler and James Schneider of Progressive International go deep into Amazon What *actually* is Amazon? How does it work? What on earth is Amazon Explore? And will we bow down before Monitron and Amazon Panorama? Also, we read an article about Boris Johnson that includes the phrase "hail the dawn!"

We talked so much about the Netflix-produced Mark Wahlberg Boston Cop film SPENSER CONFIDENTIAL. What a great punchline! What an absurd concept to declare that 85 million people had watched it. Anyway, we realised that we had to actually view the film in order to complete the cycle, so we brought on Olga Koch to review it with Riley, Milo, and Alice. Hope you enjoy!

This week we want to talk Davos, we want to talk startups with unique raw materials, we want to talk about what all the right-wing conspiracy theories about billionaire overlords get right and get wrong -- and to do that we brought on economist and writer Grace Blakeley (@graceblakeley), host of the A World to Win Podcast (@aworldtowinpod), and let’s just say it got weird.

It has come to our attention that Netflix has twice the market capitalisation of Boeing. How can this be? Well, it’s a byproduct of the 2008 crisis, an endlessly-expanding network fed by zero-interest loans and charter school zealots who believe that 100 million people can and will watch the next Orc Cop movie.

How to explain this? Tom Watson--yes, THAT Tom Watson--has written a 'taut, political thriller' about what if Labour and the Tories came together to make sure NHS patient data was sold to pharmaceutical companies in an ethical way. It's deeply boring in a manner that reflects its author, but it's also something else: an experience. Riley read the whole book and forced Nish Kumar to listen to it along with Milo, Hussein, and Alice. Hope you enjoy!
