Banking with the Abyss feat. Nathan Tankus

This week, we're joined by writer and Modern Money Network research director Nathan Tankus (@NathanTankus) to discuss the recent events with Silicon Valley Bank. Is the US Government going to insure all deposits? Have we nationalized a bank, but only in service of its creditors? Is this a re-run of 2008, but dumber? We discuss all this, and more, in the following episode.

*PREVIEW* Britainology 57: The Beano

For this month's first Britainology, it's a slight reversal of the script: we have before us a British cultural institution that Nate knows more about than Milo does. It is in fact the children's weekly comics paper / mischief compendium 'The Beano,' which Nate read avidly in the early 1990s and Milo has only a passing familiarity with.

*PREVIEW* Alice and Riley Present: The Brane Zone Book Club, Part 1

We've reconvened the Book Club and present to you an episode in which Riley and Alice discuss what they've recently read. This inaugural episode of what we might call The Brane Zone (if we don't change our minds) revolves around Alice having read EASTERN APPROACHES, the memoir of Sir Fitzroy Maclean discussing his peripatetic and extremely Type of British Guy diplomatic/military career during the 1930s and 40s.   Get the whole episode on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/alice-and-riley-80063367   *WEB DESIGN ALERT* Tom Allen is a friend of the show (and the designer behind our website).

The Four Traffic Diversions of the Apocalypse feat. QAnon Anonymous

This week, Riley, Hussein, and Alice join Annie and Julian from the QAnon Anonymous podcast to discuss the recent ecumenical freakout protests in Oxford on the topic of ‘15 Minute Cities.’ Annie was there interviewing participants—she managed to find the one person who was just there because of traffic concerns—and witnessed what appears to be a nascent reactionary resistance movement fighting in favor of climate change? Or something like it.

Edict of Brainworms

We take an in depth look at a an article by Henry Kissinger, Eric Schmidt, and Daniel Huttenlocher about how AI is going to re-catholicise the entire world, and turn Patagonia vest nerds into a class of priests.

*PREVIEW* The Prime Minister We Deserved: TF Live feat. Nish Kumar

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.
