Paris Marx of Tech Won't Save Us joins the gang to delve into the past of Elon Musk to explain his present day fascinations and oddities. We all know about the Emerald Mine, but how many of us know about the staircase kicking, or the baffling chiropractic grandfather?

Alice, Milo, Nate and Hussein are once again LIVE at Between The Bridges, sadly without Riley because Nadine Dorries' book destroyed his gastrointestinal system. However, undeterred, Alice read the book and her stomach was made of stronger stuff. Milo was also able to simulate Riley using Chat GPT so it's almost like he's there...

An social media marketing turned AI company was contracted by the UN to "solve the Israel/Palestine" conflict and it's as horrifically vapid as it sounds. Also, we check in on the Sad Sadiq's quest to keep The Sphere out of London (successful; we will be filing an appeal), and read a little piece by Julie Burchill on her slow metamorphosis into Britain's Andy Rooney.

The gang talks about a startup designed to replace teachers with AI enabled iPads, the AI company that's concerned with building god experiencing a religious schism, and then congratulate Evil Steven Root on his historic Argentine election win.

Tom joins Riley, Alice, and Hussein to talk about how not even the tattooing industry is safe from the whims of AI-enabled tech disrupters, with hilarious (but troubling) results. But first, we talk about the ongoing quest in the UK political-media ecosystem to performatively misunderstand what a "ceasefire" is, and then we review a whole new slate of Neom developments and ask: what will be erected in the desert when all this is said and done? Tom's (recently award winning) podcast about tattooing, Beneath The Skin, can be found here.

Cameron's back, he's done bothering hogs, and ready to lead the United Kingdom into foreign policy greatness, probably by getting us involved in more pyramid schemes. Also, we look at the coked up home counties uncles who all poured into London to stop Hamas from transgendering the cenotaph, and why Britain's institutionalised governing caste is either unable or unwilling to see them for what they are.

Dr. Robotnik has written a manifesto, and before you ask, yes - it cites Marinetti. We also look into the ongoing mass Labour Party revolt against Starmer and the front bench's support for Israel's attack on Gaza, which if you recall, Starmer backed full-throatedly to impress Nick Ferrari for two minutes.

At a country's darkest hour, a hero will emerge. Then he will die immediately of the novel coronavirus after going on holiday. Then his feckless idiot children will build a "controversial spa" in his name. It's the denouement of the Captain Tom saga. Also, we look into the domestic/UK dimension of Israel's attack on Gaza, and think about how the state and press will gleefully make one another even more dangerously deranged.

We met with esteemed social and economic geographer Danny Dorling to talk about the forces causing Britain to be a failed state, and the inadequate response to those forces presented in the Labour party conference. More importantly, how phoney Khan Starmer will not form a new golden horde and take Uzbekistan and therefore the world.

We spoke with journalist and friend of the show Seamus Malekafzali about the events unfolding in Gaza, specifically concerned with the question of how things became so bad and the hubris of those made the situation worse while simultaneously losing control over it. Toward the end of the episode and after a jarring change in tone, we review some new editions to Neom and investigate Rachel Reeves' frankly odd manner.

Gareth Dennis from Rail Natter returns to the fold to discuss the debacle around the cancellation, uncancellation, rerouting, and re-rerouting of Britain's much maligned High Speed Two line. We posit that the purpose of the line itself is to generate consultation papers, and everyone would rather have just not put a spade in the ground.

You've heard the expression "safe as houses"? Well, let me introduce you to a new expression: "safe as schools, hospitals, Universities, many large stores, the Ministry of Defence, and also houses," because Britain decided to inflict mafia construction on itself across most of its own built environment between 1950 and 1996. Why? Because it's Britain, of course! Liam and Rocz from Well There's Your Problem join us for the second time this Summer to get down into the engineering details of it all.

King Salman visited Neom so we take back everything bad we said about it. Also, we check in on our old friend Cooler Screens (they're going amazing, we assume). Then, a company whose "data engine" for improving AI output (including for the military) is just tens of thousands of task-workers in the global south. Finally, we review the 100000th proposal to fix Britain by reinstating National Service for youths.

Or the world’s largest school bus traffic jam? We also uncover some archival footage of a certain 1980s Dutch pop band that went through some hard times in the early ’90s.

This week, the gang speaks with author and former U.S. Department of State consular officer Josef Burton about the tendency for liberal institutions to find themselves ordered to carry out illiberal practices—whether it’s Trump’s Muslim ban, the UK’s barge housing, or any other recent story in which we simply cannot believe that we’re obligated to do an immoral thing, for the state. We also talk about a recent news story regarding Russian air traffic safety, and a startup that shifts into dark mode when it can commercialise its ‘harmless’ product.

For this week’s bonus, we spoke with Tamara K. Nopper and Eve Zelickson from the Data and Society Research Institute. They’re the authors of “Wellness Capitalism: Employee Health, the Benefits Maze, and Worker Control.” Would it come as a surprise to you to learn that employee data and tech-driven ‘wellness solutions’ are increasingly offered as employee benefits in the US, in the sense that you can’t actually get psychotherapy on your insurance, but a chatbot can offer you cognitive behavioral therapy? Not a surprise at all? Well, we have just the conversation for you.

For this week’s free one, we’re discussing a startup that will serve you ads in order for you to crash your car, revisiting some old scam-based friends who will either never suffer consequences or are already stuffed inside a barrel, and examining the state of British politics which creates a cross-party consensus for stuffing asylum seekers into a prison hulk (and patting itself on the back for being so humane).

(The free one will be out later today! In the meantime, please enjoy this unlocked episode of Britainology) This week, Nate and Milo discuss the North-South divide of England with help from two friends of the show--and FT reporters--Rob Smith (@bondhack) and Kaye Wiggins (@kayewiggins). Rob is from Derby (technically not in the North, but presumed to be) and Kaye is from Southport (definitely in the North). We discuss their experiences in the South, the fact that Liverpool and Essex have so much in common, and a guide for international students in the UK that offers a doctrinal definition of Northern Monkeys vs Southern Fairies. Hope you enjoy! Rob and Kaye worked on a piece about financial misadventures in the North that you should check out: https://t.co/YaFREWTHbg?amp=1

For this week's bonus, our friend Mattie Lubchansky joins us to discuss NYC mayor Eric Adams, a man who claims to have invented the concept of slowly boiling a frog--a man who cannot stop lying about everything, as well as being a paranoid cop. We hope that your haters become your waiters at the table of success. We hope so very much.

For this week’s free episode, the cast of Riley, Milo, Hussein, and Alice speak with (now three-time!) guest Alex N. Press, the labour correspondent for Jacobin Magazine, about two of her recent stories. In one, a ‘flexible work’ app is assigning people gigs that lead them directly across a picket line. In another, studio executives in Hollywood are dreaming up ways to digitize an actor’s likeness and use them in AI-generated content, for free, forever. And in the face of Spencer Confidential not actually getting 11 billion downloads, we ask: is the Silicon Valley-ification of Hollywood just intent on destroying the concept of movies?

For this month's first Britainology, we speak with journalist Alan White (@aljwhite) of Politics Home about the strange and sordid history of Britain's tabloid press--how it never seems to change (culturally or otherwise), how it keeps getting away with things, how different its affect is from that of (equally omerta-driven) British television... and most importantly, how weird it is.

It's nothing but riffs. And Riley explaining Canadian bag milk again, this time to comedians Tom Ballard and Luka Muller. There's also a long digression about the Australian soap opera Neighbours, and how Australia can never truly rid itself of it because of the dogged, ferocious dedication of British Neighbours fans, in Britain.

For this week’s free one, we’re joined by Patrick Wyman (@Patrick_Wyman) of the Tides of History and Pursuit of Dadliness podcasts to discuss the strange nature of Britain’s elites, how they vary from those of the United States (and of the Venetian Republic, for that matter), and why America is in many ways governed by big guys in polo shirts who own car dealerships and attended Arizona State.

For this week's bonus, the assembled gang of Riley, Hussein, Nate, and Alice speak with Molly White (@Molly0xFFF) about WorldCoin. And Orbs. We didn't set out to say the word 'orb' so often, but it's impossible to avoid when covering this topic. Which is: a group of crypto guys who are convinced that AI will become so advanced that it'll obviate every human's job, so the only way to manage it is to create a cryptocurrency for UBI distribution. And you sign up for the cryptocurrency by getting your iris scanned by an orb. This is 100 percent real.

We had a live show at Between the Bridges near Southbank Centre on a very rainy night, and we discussed a school bathroom realtime tracking app, a horrendous conference held by the Tony Blair Institute, and much more. The assembled cast of Riley, Milo, Nate, and Alice learned about topics such as Ketamine Keir Starmer, a punitive deployment of ferrets to chase out schoolchildren from toilets, the Leon Burgers to Government Policy pipeline, and a strange conception of the things you can do with barbeque sauce.

We went to the Spitting Image musical in the West End. It was worse than we'd ever imagined. It's the closest we've ever come to re-enacting the scary parts of Event Horizon.

Riley and Alice speak with Jordan and Greg from the Brigham Young Money podcast (@BYMPodcast) about the tech industry in Utah, its hand-in-glove relationship with both the state and the Mormon church, and the ways in which they’re trying to make Silicon Slope a real thing.

On this week's bonus, we're joined by the entire cast of Well There's Your Problem to discuss some odd trends: residential office refits that are unliveable, the world's biggest cruise ship that helps make everything else unliveable, and a company making hyper-secure golf course fortress residences in Scotland for multimillionaires to live when everywhere else is unliveable.

We’re joined by friend of the show Gareth Dennis (@garethdennis) to discuss newly unveiled plans to close every ticket counter at every train station in England.

This week, we speak with Bureau of Investigative Journalism reporter Emiliano Mellino about how changes to the UK’s migrant visa system for agricultural workers have created unbelievably exploitative conditions—often reported to be worse than in any other developed or developing country—and how the agency charged with enforcing the rules gets less money each year than the Home Office spends on pens and stationery. However, before we get to that, we also have to catch up with a Season One-style terrible startup, and discuss how a Shelley poem made a lot of Britain’s dumbest people furious. Check out Emiliano’s reporting here: https://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/profile/emilianomellino Also, we discussed some organizations helping agricultural labourers in the UK. They are Workers’ Support Centre Scotland (https://workersupportcentre.org.uk) and Work Rights Centre (https://www.workrightscentre.org). The former is funded by the Scottish government, but the latter does accept donations if you want to help them out!
