TRASHFUTURE

This week is a rare all-hands episode of Trashfuture featuring Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Hussein (@HKesvani), Nate (@inthesedeserts), and Alice (@AliceAvizandum). On the docket today: the strange Bond-villain aspirations of Wirecard executives, a discussion of what the UK's covid-related economic stimulus has actually meant for regular people, and a delightful jaunt to the working-class property developer heartlands of Greater Manchester.   If you want access to our Patreon bonus episodes and powerful Discord server, sign up here: https://www.patreon.com/trashfuture   Here's a central location to donate to bail funds across the US to help people held under America's utterly inhumane system: https://secure.givelively.org/donate/the-bail-project   If you want one of our *fine* new shirts, designed by Matt Lubchansky, then e-mail trashfuturepodcast [at] gmail [dot] com. £15 for patrons, £20 for non-patrons, plus shipping.   *WEB DESIGN ALERT* Tom Allen is a friend of the show (and the designer behind GYDS dot com).

Was it a good idea? Probably not. But we've assembled the Balthasar Speedboat cast of Riley, Milo, Olga, and Pierre for a friendly conversation with chaos demon and influencer Caroline Calloway...who Milo knows from school...and you know what? Just listen to the episode to hear him get eviscerated for his acne and an awkward attempt at a kiss. You'll love it! Or you'll hate it.

Welcome to another edition of TF’s coverage of humanity’s trajectory following our step off the ledge. We begin to look at what happens when the unstoppable force of capital’s need to grow smashes into the immovable object of hard limits on economic growth in the long term. Riley, Alice, and Milo discuss what the Economist’s calls “The 90% Economy,” and ponder just what world we will emerge into.

We're back with now 3-time guest Olly Thorn (@philosophytube) to discuss some recent scandals: the Jenrick building scandal, the scandal of weird British porn mags, and the scandal of a terrible "discussion app" that seems to think it's a debatable point that Paul McCartney is in fact still alive.

It’s a new, slightly less chaotic configuration with Riley (@raaleh), Alice (@AliceAvizandum), Hussein (@HKesvani), and special guest Arron Merat (@A_merat). We’re discussing the British arms industry, how Gulf money backs up the Pound, and how distributed manufacturing allows exporters to avoid arms sale bans in the UK while allowing Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries to devastate Yemen. It’s a sad listen, folks!

Here we are again, doing a second bonus episode for the week because we realise the profound demands for content. This episode features Riley, Milo, Alice, Hussein, and Connor Southard (@ConnorSouthard), writer and host of the Podside Picnic podcast. We discuss the 1976 sci-fi dystopia film LOGAN'S RUN, among other things. Hope you enjoy!

It's O'Neill versus O'Neill... versus O'Neill versus O'Neill versus O'Neill versus O'Neill. It's a six-way Brendan O'Neill battle moderated by the only man who could possibly moderate a clash of intellectual titans like this: Brendan O'Neill. It may sound like @inthesedeserts, @raaleh, @Hkesvani, @AliceAvizandum, @milo_edwards, @rocknrolga, and our friend Phoebe Roy (@10kpostspod), but we must insist it is all Brendan O'Neill. They are debating the motion: THB the chattering classes of this once great nation are at it again.

Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Nate (@inthesedeserts), and Alice (@AliceAvizandum) deal with new developments in the shadow finance debt bubble arena, including allegations around another "tech company" that seems to have invented a bunch of money for itself. We theorise as to what it all means before having a little more fun with a New Type Of Guy to introduce to the canon, and we wrap it up with a reading that may indeed rival "Shoes" in sheer madness.

In light of new information coming to light about the company that forms the subject of this episode - both allegations about potential wrongdoing with regard to circular financing, and the fact that they've just been approved as one of the accredited lenders for the Government's Coronavirus Business Interruption Scheme - we decided to unlock it for you. The original blurb: There's a ticking time bomb in the economy. No, a DIFFERENT ticking time bomb. This week, Riley, Milo, Hussein, and Alice discuss the balance-sheet chicanery of a mysterious Australian plane enthusiast that is slowly but surely imploding every SoftBank investment vehicle. We would normally say it's a laugh riot, but this one... maybe not so much.

We've brought historian Patrick Wyman (@patrick_wyman) back on to discuss more of the Roman Empire collapse similarities with our current moment. We hope you enjoy this, as it's a chance for some deep cut Rome references that we cannot ever pass up.
