Ep 781*PREVIEW* Live, Laugh, Lars feat. Rob Smith

Ep 778Gear Shift in Bio feat. Victoria Scott
EFor this week’s free episode, it’s Riley, Hussein, and November with special guest and friend of the show Victoria Scott (@mikurubaeahina) in a discussion about Tesla’s recent earnings call, its recall of its non-warhead-equipped ramming missile / bad looking truck combination, and US car manufacturers hoovering up immense amounts of personal data to be used for… insurance? Law enforcement snitching? Formal identification of when your bisexual friend has the aux cord? It’s not looking good.

Ep 777*PREVIEW* Forced Reevesification feat. Gareth Dennis
EWe're joined by top tier friend of the show Gareth Dennis (@GarethDennis) of the Rail Natter YouTube channel to discuss 'Great British Railways,' the new Labour plan to 'renationalise' (sic) the trains while leaving all of the immense problems, rent-seeking middlemen, and supply chain issues in place. But also we cautiously venture north of the border to discuss recent attempts to create Sturgeonism Without Sturgeon Or Camper Vans. It's a whole lot!

Ep 776Wearable Joe Biden Simulator LED Consent Light
EFor this week’s free episode, it’s Riley, Hussein, and November discussing some interesting UK politics news regarding a little-known political entity called the Labour Party and a little-known digital voting software platform they designed and adopted that’s now being investigated by a little-known group called the Metropolitan Police Cybercrime Unit. Oh well! We also talk about an AI wearable that tries to record your life, and hints from the Tony Blair Institute that Blair is desperate for a Starmer premiership… because he wants to introduce ID cards. Yes. He’s at it again.

Ep 775*PREVIEW* Set Your Broken Bones with Mindfulness
EFor this week's bonus, Riley, Hussein, and November discuss some recent UK news where one of Britain's most tendentious morons has been trying to claim that the Met Police are in cahoots with Hamas somehow and people are expected to take this seriously. We also discuss recent Tory and Labour talking points about replacing sick notes with apps and how apparently people on Statutory Sick Pay have had it too good for too long. This episode nearly broke November and also prompted her to call Hussein 'the South London Guy de Maupassant,' so you'll have to take the good with the bad.

Ep 774*PREVIEW* Midwestology 3: Do Not Perceive the Precious Moments Citadel
EMilo is in Australia and the time zone difference is killing us, but in his absence we convened Joe Kassabian and Francis Horton to discuss the American Midwest with Hussein. We cover the strange post-industrial wasteland of pretty much the entire region, the concept of Precious Moments ceramic figurines (Funko Pops for meemaws), and Hussein reads us a list of supposedly foundational Midwest Emo bands that we have 99% never heard of.

Ep 773Intercontinental Amuse-Bouche Barrage feat. Séamus Malekafzali
EThis week, Riley, Hussein, Nate, and November speak with friend of the show and returning guest Séamus Malekafzali (@Seamus_Malek) about recent developments in the airspace between Iran and Israel, plus a few tidbits about a Tory MP who simply loves getting blackmailed, a racist Spectator article that may have achieved an all-time TF shock record, and allegations that Warhammer has, in the words of Britain’s very reasonable press, ‘gone woke.’ Check out Séamus’s newsletter here: https://www.seamus-malekafzali.com/ 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 *STREAM ALERT* Check out our Twitch stream, which airs 9-11 pm UK time every Monday and Thursday, at the following link: https://www.twitch.tv/trashfuturepodcast *MILO IN AUSTRALIA ALERT* Check out Milo’s upcoming Australian tour shows here: www.linktr.ee/Miloontour *WEB DESIGN ALERT* Tom Allen is a friend of the show (and the designer behind our website).

Ep 772*PREVIEW* You Have Unlocked ‘Racist Lapel Pin’ feat. Molly White
EFor this week’s bonus, we speak with returning guest and friend of the show Molly White (@molly0xFFF) about the recent upswing in crypto prices and their resultant dumb hype. But also: meme coin generators, Truth Social, another crypto party that blinded people, Baron Trump Harkonnen, and a Verge review of a supposed ‘smartphone killer’ that manages to suck so much that not even the hardest core of tech futurists can defend it. It’s a $700 lapel pin and it’s also… racist?

Ep 771The Devon Report feat. Kill James Bond
EFor this week’s free one, Riley, Hussein, and November are joined by Abigail Thorn and Devon from the Kill James Bond podcast to discuss the recent Cass Review into trans kids’ healthcare in the NHS. Well, call it a review, but it’s actually just top cover for conversion therapy and state-sponsored cruelty against all medical advice. We also discuss career weirdo Brian Rose’s decision to once again run for London Mayor, and examine some recent events in Palestine in which a thing happened involving some drones. It’s a heavy episode but it’s also… a fun one? Somehow?

Ep 770PREVIEW: And I Would Build 1.5 Miles ft. Shanti Singh
E...but I won't build 1.5 more. In this bonus episode, we bid a fond RIP to NEOM. The gang looks back fondly on our favourite megaproject as the Line's official plans are scaled back from 170km to only 2.4km (or 1.5 miles) by 2030. Then, we look at the emerging political movement of Grey Pride, and the plans that Balaji Srinivasan, author of the Network State, has to rebuild San Francisco in his image, claiming: "What Elon did for Twitter, so too shall we do for San Francisco!" Get the full episode on www.patreon.com/trashfuture
Ep 769Britain is the Second Most Powerful Country in the World ft. Emiliano Mellino
ERiley, November, and Hussein talk to returning guest Emiliano Mellino from TBIJ to discuss his recent investigation into abuses of the health and care worker visa by unethical bosses and other associated profiteers we've decided to replace most of our remaining health and care system with. Before that, we discuss the murder of several aid workers by the IDF, which has caused Liberals to stand and take notice that white people are also being killed. Also, we learn about Britain being the Second Most Powerful Country in the World. Trashfuture is on Patreon, at www.patreon.com/trashfuture
Ep 768PREVIEW: Assigned Mayor at Birth (ft. Mattie Lubchansky)
EIn this Patreon episode, resident Eric Adams expert Mattie Lubchansky joins the gang to discuss Adams and his loyal retainers, his plans to use an AI system that doesn't work to fight a non existent subway cirme problem, and how he tried to win an argument he had on the radio by getting baptised in prison by Al Sharpton. Then, we talk about the other countries that own England's water supply going on strike until the fat cat public coughs up double their bills, and then an article where a certain Viscount Runciman remembers how Liz Truss is a lot like another politician some of us remember. https://www.patreon.com/posts/101694776?pr=true
Ep 767The Mesoamerican Bill Simmons Podcast ft. Patrick Wyman
ERecurring guest and firm favourite Patrick Wyman joins the gang to discuss the history of climate change - what adaptation has looked like for different societies that formed and deformed around changing climates. Including pre-Dynastic Egypt, the Indus Valley Civilisation, and the crises that plagued the ends of Rome and Feudalism, among others! But first, twenty minutes grousing about how strong fundamentals players with good coachability have become a rare thing in the Mesoamerican Ritual Ball Game. Liked this episode? Check out the bonus feed on www.patreon.com/trashfuture
Ep 766Preview: It's Boever ft. Justin Roczniak
EIn this bonus episode preview, Justin and November from WTYP join the gang to discuss all things Boeing, and what happens to your empire when you accidentally apply your own ideology to the most important pillar of your blood soaked globe bestriding war machine? Also, we talk about the UK's ambitious plan to have flying taxis in the air by 2026, and a new Neom region that puts a certain Battersea sky pool in London to shame. Get it at www.patreon.com/trashfuture
Ep 765More Human After All ft. Brian Merchant
E"I believe AI makes us more human," said Peter Deng of OpenAI at SXSW - which is just one of the responses that AI people have when people ask bizarre questions like "what does your product do," and "hey how did you get all that training data?" Technology writer Brian Merchant joins the gang to discuss this phenomenon, Amazon's foray into building a second generation human, and, of course, the AI app that aims to replace condoms.

Ep 764PREVIEW: Who Runs Gamertown? ft. Lin Codega
EThis is a preview of this week's bonus episode! Riley, November, and Hussein provide an update on the Glasgow Wonka situation - which is that Billy Coull officially has a tummy ache because everyone in the world is mad at him just for creating the only good AI generated art ever. Then, we look at the re-emergence of The Chicken Suits in UK politics, and what it means for our realm of nothing but floating signifiers. Finally, we are joined by games journalist Lin Codgea to discuss Saudi Arabia's plan to become the world capital of e-sports and games development, while remaining pretty much officially hostile to LGBT people.

Ep 763*PREVIEW* Britainology 81: George Galloway feat. Hussein Kesvani
EThe eternal gadfly of British politics and reality TV returns to the centre stage yet again, and as such Milo and Hussein cobble together all their anecdotes and facts to explain George Galloway's whole deal to Nate.

Ep 762Steamboat Milky: Trashfuture Live in London (13th March 2024)

Ep 761*PREVIEW* Policy Proposal: Release a Minotaur Into Canary Wharf feat Dr Eleanor Janega
EWe speak with friend of the show and returning guest Dr Eleanor Janega about a recent tech newsletter that compared the advent of ChatGPT to the invention of the heavy plow. But we also had to discuss a startup making surveillance-tech vending machines that will aggressively misgender you, and more.

Ep 760Bridgen the Gap feat. Annie Kelly
EThe gang catches up with QAA’s Annie Kelly to discuss the pilledness situation in Parliament, centrist radicalisation, and an MP who got so excited about being a soldier in the anti-vax army that he left his family.

Ep 759*PREVIEW* I'm The Opportunist That Stepped Up
EThe cast reads the tea leaves of British politics as it recoils from the return of the infamous hat man himself, George Galloway. We also discuss an AI music startup and some new updates on Jan Marselek, who is living in (sort of) disguise as an orthodox priest?

Ep 758The Land of Pure Imagination
EWe all saw the story about the weird A.I.-generated Wonka-themed event in Glasgow. But we also think it’s a harbinger of other things to come re: the only things that make it endearing at all are the difficult-despite-it-all attempts to work with terrible material—attempts that humans have to make!—when the computer says to do something stupid. We also talk about Johnny Mercer’s strange quantum state of admitting to knowledge of but also refusing to disclose information about UK military war crimes in Afghanistan. Also we talk about November’s predictions for 2024: King dead; Saudi economic collapse.

Ep 757*PREVIEW* Economic Phenomenology of the Woke Joker
EFor this week's bonus, Riley, Milo, Hussein, and November gather to discuss some recent news: British media pretending to care about Islamophobia being said too loudly, Americans pretending to care about mental health if it means they can shame criticism of Israel, and Liz Truss pretending to have a future in American conservative politics. But also we discuss a hypothetical Batman movie where the Woker (Woke Joker) forces Batman to say slurs if he wants to save Gotham.

Ep 756National Tesco Big Brother Database
EThe little story of a London wine bar heir who decided to create a company that will scan your face constantly to see if you belong on a shoplifting database. And if you pop up, it’ll encourage Tesco employees to… annoy you? We’re not making this up.

Ep 755*PREVIEW* Wife Aum Shinrikyo: Bill Ackman’s Quest feat. Ed Zitron
EWe're joined by friend of the show and repeat guest Ed Zitron (@edzitron) to discuss some recent AI 'products,' the total failure of another hyped tech business, a Turkish magician's journey through the world of scamming an entire biotech company, but—and this is very important—we finally talk about Bill Ackman and why he does that.

Ep 754Pissphoria feat. Abigail Thorn
EFor this week’s free episode, Riley, Milo, Hussein, and November join special guest Abigail Thorn (@PhilosophyTube) to discuss three disparate incidents in the UK that expose the relentless march of the War on Being Normal. That’s right—three incidents in British politics that show the implacably deranged tenor of anti-trans politics in Britain, a position fully accepted by both major parties and the entirety of the media. And yet its proponents are miserable and convinced there’s a grand conspiracy where every single organisation on earth that doesn’t share 100 percent of their views has been infiltrated by their enemies. This sounds weirdly familiar, but if you say that out loud then Rosie Duffield gets to call an airstrike on you (we don’t make the rules).

Ep 753*PREVIEW* Britainology 79: UK Garage feat. Dan Hancox
EFor this month's first Britainology, we're joined by music journalist and genre aficionado Dan Hancox, the author of 'Inner City Pressure: the Story of Grime.' But we're not talking about Grime today (that'll come later!)—rather, we're talking about a genre close to Milo's heart, the Essex-born-and-raised '90s/'00s subgenre Garage. Which Nate has absolutely no point of reference for whatsoever, despite being the exact right age to have been a fan...if only he were British.

Ep 752*PREVIEW* Balthasar Speedboat: Skincare Edition feat. Alex Haddow
ENothing but riffs. Nothing but jokes. Noting but Riley revealing more about himself and everyone saying 'I'm confused' or 'oh, that makes sense.'

Ep 751Manic Pixie Dream Paramedic
EIn this special episode, we revisit an old startup from 2019 that’s still getting huge government contracts to provide a service we can only describe as ‘the ambulance driven by clowns that drops you off in the middle of the woods.’ This is not an exaggeration.

Ep 750*PREVIEW* Plato’s Goon Cave feat. Paris Marx
EThis week, Riley, Milo, and Alice join special guest (and beloved friend of the show) Paris Marx of the Tech Won’t Save Us podcast for a discussion about Apple Vision Pro. Yes, the ridiculous snowboarding goggles that let you see pop up ads everywhere, the next iteration of Google Glass (but worse, and weirder). Our message to you is: bully anyone wearing these things.

Ep 749Save Us, Swiss Spartans
EThis week, it’s an all-dessert episode hosted by Alice with Milo and Hussein. We discuss Peter Thiel and his acolytes’ plan to make the drugs Olympics in which you take as many performance enhancers as possible and turn into Kenshiro from Fist of the North Star. However, the real icing on the cake is a Telegraph article that claims Switzerland possesses an eternal martial spirit, but Britain is too woke to have conscription (and not racist enough).

Ep 748*PREVIEW* Tradecraft in the Doha Panda Express
EFor this week's bonus, Riley, Milo, Hussein, and Alice discuss an offshore oil rig theme park that Saudi Arabia is building (it just sounds like an oil rig). We also discuss the recent ICJ proceedings, and examine the contradictions in what liberal democratic states say about international law when confronted with potentially having to apply it to their client states.

Ep 747Information Flamewar-fare
EThis week, we’re talking about a terrible surveillance startup, an anti-DEI Ackman guy running to primary Joe Biden (he also sucks), and the recent news that the Israeli government is using what you might call Combat Tweetdeck to try to suppress or overwhelm all the negative attention it’s getting from… things that its own soldiers share on social media.

Ep 746*PREVIEW* Parallel Hooniverse feat. Dan McQuillan
ERiley, Milo, Hussein, and Alice speak with Goldsmiths researcher Dan McQuillan, the author of 'Resisting AI: An Anti-fascist Approach to Artificial Intelligence' regarding the breathless optimism of politicians in the UK and elsewhere (particularly in Queensland, Australia) claiming they'll use AI to administer state benefits and services.

Ep 745As A Large Language Howitzer,
EFor this week’s free episode, Riley, Milo, Hussein, and Nate discuss the recent news that ChatGPT has both dropped its official guidelines around working with weapons systems and also entered into a partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense. This is notionally to help reduce veteran suicide, but as Riley indicates, there are plenty of combat uses that are probably going to get integrated, even (or especially) if they’re bad. We also do a quick UK politics check (did you know populism is over in the UK?) and discuss a Spectator article yearning for a Tory government willing to change everything back to imperial units.

Ep 743Things Can Only Get Sensible
EThis week, we’ve got Riley, Milo, Hussein, and Alice discussing a bathroom-related AI startup, the impending election year in the UK, new Government policy facilitating the sell-off of all local council assets and properties, and a recent speech by Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer KC about why we cannot actually solve any problems.

EFor this week's bonus, Justin Roczniak of the Well There's Your Problem podcast joins the assembled cast of Riley, Milo, Hussein, and Alice to discuss the formal and total shuttering of HyperLoop.

Ep 739Honk If You’re Honu feat. Dr Gareth Fearn
EThis week’s episode is the first free one of 2024 and was recorded before the new year; it features Riley, Milo, and Alice discussing the UK government’s attempts to make schools officially practice cruelty to trans kids as a matter of policy. Also discussed: an AI startup that wants to automate the entirety of business from start to finish, and a separate segment where Riley and Dr Gareth Fearn discuss the state of planning and development the UK. Why is it so labyrinthine and difficult, and why does it serve the default UK line of ‘better things aren’t possible?’ All this and more, in this episode.

Ep 738*UNLOCKED* Trashfuture Live - The Nadine Dorries Book (RIP Riley’s Tummy)
EIn this unlocked bonus episode, Alice, Milo, Nate and Hussein are once again LIVE at Between The Bridges, sadly without Riley because Nadine Dorries' book destroyed his gastrointestinal system.

Ep 735The Ackman-aniacs
EWe revisit our old pal Bill Ackman, who was one of Wall Street's most notorious activist investors, to become the SPAC king, to finally settling into his new role as a billionaire culture warrior. Also, we discuss the suspension of a delightfully moronic Tory MP, and check out how Neom is finally building some stuff that's not just different shaped hotels.

Ep 733National Gooning Database
EThe gang talks about the upward spiral of xenophobia that the UK's moderates think they can keep riding to stay in power - the Rwanda Bill, new immigration restrictions, and so on, before moving onto the new Online Safety Bill and its potential to create a kind of AI overmind of British goons.
