With interest rates going to 5% in the U.K., Milo, Riley, and Alice wonder how making the money more expensive will solve Spanish droughts leading to reduced olive production (for example). Also, we bid a fond farewell to the newest residents of the challenger deep and read an article about the dangers of the fifteen minute city in the New Statesman for some reason.

For this month's first Britainology, we watched the 2004 UK gangster movie LAYER CAKE, featuring a much younger Daniel Craig, a very Essex'ed-up Sienna Miller, and a very unknown-at-the-time Tom Hardy. And it's a good movie! Which we enjoyed! And had a lot of fun talking about, especially as regards it being a snapshot of peak Blair years Britain.

For the last stop of our Regional Authenticity Tour, we performed live at Slay in Glasgow and completed our review of one of the worst books ever written. We also discuss a dismal-sounding 'what if your doctor was an app' startup, and hear a story about a deranged British aristocrat who brought our her ancestral machete to settle a crypto dispute. We simply had a blast, and we hope you enjoy hearing it.

Journalist and friend of the show Becca Wilks (@WilksBecca) joins the gang to discuss how the Welsh government’s plans on rent control have evolved (spoiler: they’ve been useless because the Welsh government loves a landlord), but first we have an update on the numerous political obituaries being written in the U.K. and a systematic review of Matt Hancock’s TikTok.

Jathan and Ed from This Machine Kills (@machinekillspod) join the gang to discuss the long, terrible essay by Marc Andreesen about why AI will save the world.

We spend a while looking over the economic dimensions of - whatever you want to call it - Starmerism, Bidenism, Levelling Up - a version of neoliberalism that realised, very suddenly and entirely too late, that it does actually matter quite a bit if your economy produces certain things. What kind of world does this look like? Let’s explore the contours of Productivism/Permanent Wartime Neoliberalism together, and what it looks like when dedicated Neoliberals try to do something different (embarrassing failure). NOTE ON CONTENT: Since this episode was recorded, the Starmer team has declared that the Green Prosperity Plan - the focus of this episode - would be postponed (before even being implemented) from £28bn per year for five years… to £28bn a year for three years, starting after the second year of a Labour government. Embarrassing failure prediction comes true quicker than usual. *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 *WEB DESIGN ALERT* Tom Allen is a friend of the show (and the designer behind our website).

We continued our Regional Authenticity Tour and stopped in the famous city of Manchester, where we recoiled in horror at a startup Riley found that claimed it was--and I'm saying this verbatim--'gamifying good humaning.' We then proceeded to recoil in embarrassment at the next chapter of Mister Book Eater's latest tome. Hope you enjoy!

The entire cast of Riley, Milo, Hussein, Nate, and Alice continued our Regional Authenticity Tour with a stop in Leeds, where we discussed a startup offering what appears to be a hypothetical alternative to the labour theory of value...with loyalty points.

This week, Tom Walker (@tomwalkerisgood) joins Riley, Milo, and Alice to discuss some recent NEOM-related news—particularly, some comments from NEOM-affiliated architects at the Venice Biennale. But we’re also talking about a recent story in the FT where all financial journalists got scooped by a random news site in Antigua…owned by a pizza-enthusiast editor who is also an ambassador to three countries, a lawyer, a doctor, and an Instagram guy.

This week, we've brought on friend of the show Mattie Lubchansky to discuss a whole slew of New York content. We do a close read of a frankly bonkers speech that Mayor Eric Adams gave at a Nowruz celebration, examine the breathlessly optimistic press about NYPD robot dogs that fall over after taking a single step, and discuss reports that high-priced Manhattan commercial real estate is headed for a steep decline. But, could we at least convert the office towers to residences? Well, not for the living.

For this month's first Britainology, we've decided to invert the formula of our last show with Jackson Baly and Joel Zammit of Sanspants Radio: instead of Brits in Australia, we're now discussing Australians in Britain. And we cover everything from the celebrities--your Peter Andre, your Jason Donovan, your Nick Cave--to the strange cultural phenomena like the Aussie magnet of Clapham Common and the insensitively-named chain of Oz-themed bars.

This week, Riley, Hussein, and Alice speak with author, activist, and friend of the show Cory Doctorow about the ongoing lawsuit against the Internet Archive—a campaign by the mega-conglomerate publishers of America which all hate free digital book lending—and why public libraries are squarely in their money-squeezing targets. We also talk about some great developments in some of the dumbest crypto / lending fraud cases, where it seems the brightest minds of the 30 Under 30 list forgot that prosecutors can subpoena your emails.

Journalist Daniel Trilling rejoins Riley, Hussein, and Alice for an episode with a more serious tone, talking about London's Metropolitan Police and the various corruption scandals that have eaten away at the myth of "Policing by Consent." We conclude that even the liberal position on reforming the Met now includes some broad/loose definition of abolition, where huge numbers of police powers are removed.

Terror has a new dimension. Alice, Riley, and returning guest, journalist Seamus Malekafzali (@Seamus_Malek) talk about the Saudi pivot to the third dimension. Also, Labour’s fabulous plans to fix criminal justice “by just using people from the town,” and Matt Hancock’s foray into NFT’s only about one year too late.

We've done it again. We've subjected Nish Kumar to a terrible political book. However, rather than being a UK politician's attempt at literary fiction, we've instead delved into Harry Cole and James Heale's ill-timed work 'Out of the Blue: The inside story of the unexpected rise and rapid fall of Liz Truss.' And we experienced it with about 300 of you, at Backyard Comedy in London on February 20, 2023. Hope you enjoy!

Friend of the show Patrick Wyman (@Patrick_Wyman) joins the gang to talk about ancient state formation… and also a strange book written by a venture capitalist about how this entity called The Network (him and his friends) will replace God and the State as the Leviathan of 21st century society.

Friend of the show Dr Eleanor Janega (@GoingMedieval) joins the gang to discuss her new book, The Once and Future Sex, about misogyny through the ages, and how while the justifications change, the outcome is always the same. It is a depressingly relevant conversation to the ongoing campaign of stochastic terrorism carried out against transgender people and immigrants by the great and the good of the country.

For this month's first Britainology, Nate and Milo watched the first installment of the Up series, the 1964 mini-documentary SEVEN UP! Filmed as a commentary on Britain's class system and unintentionally becoming a time lapse of the Baby Boomers, it's still an absolute gem of British Pathé Voice, and much more. We hope you enjoy.

There's a rumour circulating that Liz Truss may be making a comeback. Well, she might think so--and she's written an article about it. We review this excellent piece of writing line-by-line, as well as addressing some coin-minting antipathy from a weird Canadian columnist that Riley found. We very much hope you enjoy.
