YOU KNOW WHAT SYSTEM ALREADY WORKS WELL FOR RIDE SHARING?
BUSES!
THESE INVETERATE DULLARDS ARE GOING TO TRY AND SELL ADVERTISING ON OUR KIDNEYS AND THEN SUE US BECAUSE OUR SKIN ISNT TRANSPARENT.
We decided to do an episode of Britainology about the Jeremy Vine show and consulted with the expert himself,
@theJeremyVine
, to learn what it's like to have an open line to Britain's internal monologue. Get it on the free feed here:
Today I'm launching
#ComeKipWithMe
- asking Londoners to invite me into their homes and show me the city through their eyes. I want to know your concerns and your ideas. And I promise to bring a sleeping bag and a box of chocolates!

🚨England's Other Public Health Crisis ft. Abi Thorn🚨
Abigail Thorn (
@PhilosophyTube
) joins the gang to discuss coming out as a trans woman in Britain, and to explore the psychological, historical, and political roots of transphobia. Also, a startup!
🚨Gender Critical National Infrastructure ft. Abi Thorn, Mattie Lubchansky🚨
So we've decided to run down the function of the state. What's left to get people out of bed?
@PhilosophyTube
&
@Lubchansky
talk about the political usefulness of transphobia.
Guy at a table next to me is trying to explain the entire premise and history of
@trashfuturepod
to his date. It is not going well. He has been talking for ten uninterrupted minutes
We have received your complaints about two associates participating in our Access To Podcasting programme,
@Milo_Edwards
and
@AliceAvizandum
. We take these issues seriously and will be sending both to the same Unconscious Bias training Keir Starmer undertook.
Normal cost of a 15-minute long story at a major storytelling podcast:
- 2 months
- 6 pre-interviews, 3 interviews, 7 hours of tape
- 10 drafts
- 2-4 edits, each 1 to 4-hours long with 2-5 editors in the room each time.
- 2 days of mixing/scoring
Don't 👏 Lowball 👏 Us 👏

@BoontaVista
fan once described our show as "a bit madcap." We reject this description, and to disprove it we have made this video of Milo pretending to be Trump complaining about terrible parties at Ronald McDonald House
We reviewed Steven Pinker's high IQ book Enlightenment Now with
@ByYourLogic
and here are his solutions to climate change. Bear in mind, Bill Gates called this his favourite book OF ALL TIME.
There are now reports that the app that caucus leaders are using to report Iowa results isn't working. Nobody knows who owns the app and there were major security concerns:
@HadleyFreeman
the celebrations are premature, honestly--if you and the rest of the Zone 2 dinner party transphobes lose your jobs, then it would be excellent news. But I assume they'll keep you on and sack the people who actually report on real news
I know what a good business brings to a town or to a family.
If I were Prime Minister, I would back a new generation of British entrepreneurs by supporting 100,000 new business start-ups across every region of the UK.
We -
@aliceavizandum
and
@raaleh
- did a deep dive reading of *that* Liz Jones Daily Mail article on the stream, plus other contextual articles. Check it out here, maybe, instead of on an episode.
Check out this clip from our episode with

@Milo_Edwards
losing his shit at Tony Blair's son's education startup, which solves problems created in Tony's administration by repeating all the same mistakes but worse and profitably to himself.
#WatchDogsLegion
is the most left twitter videogame ever, there's even a bunch of basically lefty podcast spoofs. This one seems to be based on if
@AyoCaesar
went on an episode of
@trashfuturepod
and it's amazing
Workers in our warehouse confirm they have found what appears to be another sealed container of t-shirts from the 1980s. Once they get it open we will confirm what they find...
Riley in 2017: I wish to be the showrunner of a politics podcast that holds the government to account even better than the BBC.

We didn’t intend to actually predict Trump getting charged. we just imagined what it would be like while talking to our friends

. But, since it’s apparently happening, we’re going Resist mode
Margaret Thatcher's idiot son Mark had many jobs before "inept Equatorial Guinea coup planner." We present to you this capsule biography that will surely secure his place in the historical pantheon of Big Idiot Sons. Get it here:
today's episode has a link to equal-share bail fund hosted via actblue. We've donated $1000 on behalf of our show. We're trying to get people to match the total donation, so if you can give anything at all we'd greatly appreciate it and will RT.

Would you like to own a piece of history from Johannes Vonk’s 1984 UK tour? We found 50 of these special edition shirts in a container at the back of a disused shoe polish factory.

Queen's dead, lads. And it's bringing out some of the contradictions of Britain's psyche: the built-in hierarchy, the sheer weirdness of a 'modern' state having a guy with sacred blood as its head of state, and--let's be real--embarrassing empire nostalgia
@HadleyFreeman
it's genuinely hilarious when the Guardian tries to shame people on the left into chipping in money when you've spent the entirety of the last 5 years having a tantrum and shrieking about being a bathroom cop. Maybe you can find people at the next Wooferendum to support you?
Say a special prayer for
@raaleh
, who did scholarly research into the Millennium Dome and the intensely weird nature of everything around it, only for us to fixate on the Giant Boy sculpture that appeared in it
we learned a lot from
@thismachinekills
: there's a familiar shape to the investment structure of DAOs + other crypto hype corps. as in, there's a pointy top, a wide base, and it seems to get wider with each round. please do not infer anything about this
for less than the price of a cup of coffee a day you too can help journalists stay friends with political insiders and feel like they’re in an episode of The Thick Of It
Every time you say "Crypto is a stupid scam," Andreesen Horowitz will torture another metaphor to death.

🚨TF SEASON TWO BEGINS🚨
It’s our new episode. We’re owned, but we’re not out. Listen to the whole gang process the election, the aftermath, and where to go from here. Take a listen, close your eyes, and manifest a Sinn Fein majority government with us.
What happens when a normal person concerned about traffic calming gets swept up in the madness of a 15 minute cities protest? We are joined by

Shout out to
@trashfuturepod
for giving me strong opinions about the US mint's ability to make a platinum coin in any denomination and immediately ruining my social life.
I (Milo) am slowly ploughing through sending payment links to everyone who ordered in time and may I once again say that it's hilarious that I'm sending a month's worth of emails in a day because people love a fictional dutch band from the 80s
Workers at the TF warehouse have confirmed that they have found 100 t-shirts that look approximately like this. They appear to have been coloured with shoe polish.

NO STREAM TONIGHT!
Riley is camping, Dev and Milo are at Milo's show and Alice will be having a "night off" - but we will reconvene around the slop trough on Thursday...
🚨UNLOCKED: Frankesntein's Balance Sheet🚨
Join us and open every one of the eyes on your body as we explore the nuclear bomb in the pocket of the economy: securitised Supply Chains. And it's mostly the product of this one strange Softbank backed company.
