TRASHFUTURE

This week we explore the phenomenon of 2000s Indie Rock (and the endless succession of bands that seemed to go nowhere) with two long-suffering veterans of the scene: Fred Macpherson (of the bands Spector, Les Incompétents, and and Ox.Eagle.Lion.Man) and music journalist Oscar Rickett. It's a lot of bad memories but it wouldn't be Britainology if we didn't dredge them up!

The gang (comprised of Riley, Milo, Nate, and Alice) looks back at the japes and jives of the final death throes of the U.K.’s ongoing political crisis, because surely this new guy will sort it out.

Is it a good sign for an economy when you're getting recommended installment-plan purchases for cheap takeaway foods? Is it any wonder that Nick Clegg may have gotten wrapped up in a scandal involving putting OnlyFans creators on a kind of no-fly list? Is it going to come as a shock that Britain's conservative columnists think electrical blackouts will teach spoiled young people a lesson? All this and more, this week. *LONDON LIVE SHOW ALERT* We're having a live show at Between the Bridges in Southbank on October 18.

For this month's first Britianology, we bring on our TF cohost Alice to discuss one of British history's strangest men. That's right, we're discussing Lawrence of Arabia, T.E. Lawrence himself, or any of the multiple aliases with which he enlisted in the British military in order to get big strapping guys to beat him up. We enjoyed recording this and hope it's a fun listen.

Elon Musk is (maybe?) buying Twitter again, but more importantly, the conversations between him and a number of his doofus friends and associates have been disclosed. We look into the Mind of Musk, and speculate about his grand plans for the future of humanity via posting. We end on a charming article about McKinsey and the tobacco industry.

Gary from Gary's Economics joins the gang to take a deep dive on the politics and economics of the budgetary disaster. Do you wonder about the mechanism by which these insane decisions make their way through to mortgages, pensions, and rents? Do you want to understand the core of Labour's weak response?
