TRASHFUTURE

In this special edition of Britainology, Nate and Milo traveled to BBC2 Studios to interview the man himself, Jeremy Vine, in order to discuss how he keeps a straight face when asked to arbitrate questions such as 'should a panel of mums decide all criminal punishment in the UK' and 'is your tea kettle as loud as your lawn mower (please bring the lawn mower into your kitchen for a comparison).'

We're back with pure riffs and no topic, and we're joined by Joel, Joel, and Jackson from the popular Australian podcast Plumbing the Death Star. We recorded this back in March and now it's out. Please enjoy us rejoicing in the class system of car park sausages in Australia, the wonder of Bob Katter pointing a gun at a knife, and a story about a little boy who wanted a pet pig.

This week, Riley, Hussein, Nate and Alice discuss the cost-of-living crisis in Britain as seen through trade periodicals for grocers and the growing sentiment among the police (yes! Even among the British police!) that shoplifting to survive shouldn’t be punished. We also discuss new developments in the endless hackathon purgatory of the crypto world, where they want to make everything you’ve ever done in your working life tied to your identity, on the blockchain.

The gang looks at the ossified politics of Britain, now unable to conceive of responding to a once-in-a-generation permanent energy crisis with anything more than a one-off payment and "good luck, you're gonna need it!" Then, we discuss a startup that looked at the spate of school shootings around the country and said, "it is with a heavy heart that we must profit from this."

This week, we're joined by auto journalist Victoria Scott (@mikurubaeahina) about new developments in automotive surveillance. As in: what if your car was the cops, recorded everything you ever did in the car, was accessible by the other cops via forensic devices, could be monitored without a warrant, and had no option for you to shut this off? Well, apparently that's 90% of cars made since 2008 already. Get the whole episode on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/66893618

We recorded a live Britainology in London earlier this month and brought on special guest Juliet Jacques (and regular guest Riley) to discuss British sex scandals past: the Profumo Affair, Keith Vaz, Derek Mackay, and--of course--David Cameron's pig liaisons.

The gang delves into the realm of a movie being entirely funded by NFTs and filmed in the only place less real than NFTs (Neom.) Then, Riley speaks with Dominik Leusder from the Eurotrash podcast and LSE Ideas about how exactly energy got so wildly expensive.

The gang discusses the inevitable crypto crash, tether, and the charlatans who sold ordinary people down the river. We also review Britain’s strategy for dealing with its many overlapping crises including mental health. Then, we speak to journalist Heidi Swart (@heidi_swart), whose work for the MIT technology review is all about how the surveillance industry is slowly rebuilding apartheid in South Africa.
