TRASHFUTURE

We were going to talk about the new Matt Hancock app and something about Softbank but then we got distracted. Some things happened involving the Labour party, and we needed to comment -- so we brought on Novara Media's Eleanor Penny (@eleanorkpenny) to discuss it alongside the full cast of Riley, Milo, Hussein, Nate, and Alice. Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Hussein (@HKesvani), Nate (@inthesedeserts), and Alice (@AliceAvizandum). Will you love it? Probably not.  For context on the Emma Dent Coad story mentioned in this episode, we recommend checking out this piece that she authored for Novara.

It's a Trash-a-Fada crossover extravaganza! We had a delightful discussion with Andy and Sean about labour organising at the end of the world, and then we venture back into the mind of Toby Young as he weighs the lives of the British public against a feather and decides if they live or die to appease the great and powerful Economy.

We did it again. Joined once more by Séamus Malekafzali (@seamus_malek), we reviewed a terrible Hollywood take on America's imperial reach. Another CIA movie. Another movie about empire, except this time it's about a horny congressman who manages to give Al Qaeda a billion dollars. Yep, it's the 2007 Tom Hanks romp CHARLIE WILSON'S WAR, written by Aaron fucking Sorkin. Please enjoy this preview of it. The full episode (and dozens just like it) is available on our Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/35574901 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. 

TF Season Three continues as ancient history Patrick Wyman (@Patrick_Wyman) from the Tides of History podcast joins the gang to discuss what went exactly went wrong with the Roman Empire. Why did it collapse? What can we learn from this experience? Why were Roman death cults way cooler than our death cults?

Here is a preview of this week's bonus episode. It's the return of our beloved pure comedy format, recorded back when the world was normal, to help get you through the lockdown blues. Riley and Milo are joined by friends of the show and comedians Glenn Moore and Pierre Novellie. We start with LA Noire and end up talking about perhaps the worst movie ever made by a famous advertising pitchman - the inAPPropriate Movie. We've also got new t-shirts available! So email trashfuturepodcast [at] gmail [dot] com to order one! £15 for Patreon subscribers. Check out the new design here.

If you had told us three months ago that, in the aftermath of the election result that didn’t go well, we’d soon be witnessing the utter collapse of financialised global capitalism… we might have believed you? But as we all try to parse the absurd world we suddenly live in, Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Nate (@inthesedeserts), and Alice (@AliceAvizandum) convene from their respective bunkers to discuss what’s next. The answer? We don’t know. But we do have a soundboard and a fleeting hope that something better might emerge.

Please enjoy this preview of this week's bonus, a live episode of Trashfuture recorded on March 6 the 2020 Bristol Transformed festival. You’ll hear Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Hussein (@HKesvani), and Nate (@inthesedeserts) join special guest Angie Speaks (@speaksangie) to discuss an app that retroactively places products in existing films -- who hasn’t wanted to get ads for Casper Mattresses when watching 1970s noir films -- and a long story about a man who wants to remake Bishop Auckland in his own, uh, slightly vampiric image.  If you want to get the whole thing, access it on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/35020006

Please enjoy this live episode of Trashfuture, recorded on March 11 at Vauxhall Comedy in London. The almost-full cast of Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Hussein (@HKesvani), and Nate (@inthesedeserts) join special guest (and 3-time returning champion) Mollie Goodfellow (@hansmollman) to discuss a human-replacing app that seems intent on making Daleks, the looming coronavirus pandemic, and an elite concierge service for billionaires that is more than slightly ripe for conspiracies.

In this preview of the weekly bonus, Riley's found some deeply, deeply horny British political writing, and in an attempt to shatter the psychic resolve of our friends down under, he's brought on Andrew Law (@illybocean) of the Boonta Vista podcast. This is also the 10th official TF episode as it features founding cohosts Charlie Palmer and Olga Koch Olga (@rocknrolga). Hope you enjoy!
