So, what was MIT’s Media Lab actually researching with all that Epstein money? And why is it a Venn diagram of all the worst things in America in the last 40 years? Fronted by a neocon who helped the Contras and the Iraq War, headed by a bitchin’ surfer rave enthusiast tech idiot, and full of people inventing cursed SkyMall products. This week, Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Nate (@inthesedeserts), and Hussein (@AliceAvizandum) discuss this and so much more. Part 2 of this series will be coming out this week on Patreon.

Finance-driven growth: It’s not good, folks! This week, Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Nate (@inthesedeserts), and Hussein (@HKesvani) join special guest Grace Blakely (@graceblakeley) to discuss the financialisation of the past 40 years and the post-2008 reckoning that we’re cursed to live through — which is the topic of Grace’s new book ‘Stolen: How to Save the World from Financialisation.’ We also discuss an amazing hit piece in the British tabloids that wants you to believe the Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell has a private navy at his cabin in Norfolk. You can buy Grace’s book from the publisher here: https://repeaterbooks.com/product/stolen-how-to-save-the-world-from-financialisation/ — and if you buy it from Repeater Books you get a free e-book version as well.

We speak with Will Davies, reader in Economics at Goldsmith's University and author of the book Nervous States.

Something of a sleepy week in British politics, a time in which nothing happened of any real significance. This episode features (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Nate (@inthesedeserts), and Alice (@AliceAvizandum) discussing these banal developments with London-based journalist (and host of Red Hacks podcast) Joana Ramiro (@joanaramirouk). Parliament didn’t get prorogued, the government didn’t suffer landmark defeats, and Low Tax Chloe didn’t make some of the worst memes in human history. We also also talk about the weird incel logic behind Apple's Siri. It’s a great, normal time to be a resident of this island, folks!

We all have Epstein Brain, or at least Riley, Milo, and Alice do. But first, this episode covers our reflections on London and which bits of it suck, a review of the Duke of Westminster's app that lets council tenants decide how they want to get kicked out, then finally we realise everyone's favourite prince couldn't possibly be involved in Epstein shit! He said so!

This month's CBC features Riley in conversation with Nathalie Olah, the author of 'Steal as Much as You Can: How to win the culture wars in an age of austerity' forthcoming from Repeater Books.

It’s a truly classic TF lineup this week with Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Hussein (@HKesvani), and Alice (@AliceAvizandum) discussing Dominic Cummings supposed genius, but mostly recoiling in horror at an app that’s going to record everything that goes on inside your house, scan your face for fear, and grass you out to the cops.
