TRASHFUTURE

This week, Riley, Milo, and Alice join Dr Jess Green (@greenprofgreen) to discuss the concept of carbon offsets and how they’re not the foolproof solution to climate change that every huge polluter who definitely wants to keep polluting seems to think they are! Or maybe they’re just pretending to think that!

For this month's second Britainology... well, we tried. We booked a guest and we got it cleared to record on location in a chippy! And then the guest had an emergency and the chippy wasn't really suitable to record in. So we ate fish and chips and then discussed the meal, plus the history of the dish, plus our experiences in chippies and takeaways in general. And then we happened upon the idea of Mr. Waluigi's Fish and Chips where they have a pro-ISIS patriotic mural. And then Milo learned a beautiful turn of phrase that will stick with him forever: pig husks--enough is enough!!!

This week we explore the phenomenon of 2000s Indie Rock (and the endless succession of bands that seemed to go nowhere) with two long-suffering veterans of the scene: Fred Macpherson (of the bands Spector, Les Incompétents, and and Ox.Eagle.Lion.Man) and music journalist Oscar Rickett.

Is it a good sign for an economy when you're getting recommended installment-plan purchases for cheap takeaway foods? Is it any wonder that Nick Clegg may have gotten wrapped up in a scandal involving putting OnlyFans creators on a kind of no-fly list?

For this month's first Britianology, we bring on our TF cohost Alice to discuss one of British history's strangest men. That's right, we're discussing Lawrence of Arabia, T.E.

This is perhaps something of a combination of Britainology and a regular TF episode in which we've brought on Matt Edwards, Milo's (much) older brother, who worked as a foreign exchange trader in London brokerages in the 1990s. We learn about the geezer-rific work environment of a bunch of guys yelling into a phone about numbers, some of the antics they got up to, what's changed since, and--perhaps on a more serious note--Matt's personal experience with what happened in Greece post-2008, a country he's worked in extensively.

This week, Riley, Milo, and Alice speak with FT reporter and author Dan McCrum (@FD) about his forthcoming book 'Money Men: A Hot Startup, a Billion Dollar Fraud, a Fight for the Truth.' It is of course about Wirecard, and it's got some amazing details that we simply lose our minds about as Dan recounts them. Hope you enjoy! Buy Dan's book here!

This week, Riley, Milo, Hussein, and Alice join special guest and friend of the show Jathan Sadowski (@jathansadowski) of the This Machine Kills podcast (@machinekillspod) to discuss microfinance. Despite the Nobel Prizes involved, it turns out it’s just app-connected loan sharking in many ways. We also discuss a mental health app that provides crowdsourced therapy. Is it licensed?

This week, Riley, Milo, Hussein, and Alice join special guest Shanti Singh for her second-ever appearance on TF, to discuss recent recall campaigns and dark money activism funded through San Francisco's intensely authoritarian libertarian VC guys.

Did you know that the City of London, the small mini-enclave that dates back to Roman times, is a separate state entity that predates the United Kingdom by hundreds of years? And that its special status makes it basically immune to disclosure rules and financial oversight? Well, sort of. Riley steps in to explain The Land of the Weird Bollards and much more.

Okay, okay, maybe you've heard the term 'posh' or 'posho' when referring to fancy British people. You're aware that this country has a reputation for its class system. But what does it actually mean? To answer this question, we brought in TF founding cohost and knower of fancy tendencies Charlie Palmer to discuss. It's all here: getting ripped at 11 am on Dubonnet, wearing a straw hat every day at school, absurd nicknames, gibberish words for everyday items, and the profound sorrow of clinging to the cultural artefacts of feudalism.

We bring on journalist Ian MacDougall to discuss the libertarian intentional-community of Prospera, a failing city-state in the Bay Islands of Honduras, where Thiel- and Andreessen-funded weirdos have tried to create a land where anyone can open a business with any law, from any jurisdiction, anywhere, adjudicated by some guys in Arizona.

Which everyone can see coming and nobody is going to do anything about.

We revisit some old friends, such as Wirecard's Jan Marsalek and THG's Matt Moulding, and then continue to look at the implications of the increasingly large and powerful strike wave reverberating up and down Britain. We end with a another kooky startup that has some very funny numbers attached.
