Riley's away this week, so Nova is in charge of the bonus and welcomes Kill James Bond's very own Devon to the show to discuss - among other things - continued rulings from the EHRC making it more difficult to be trans in the United Kingdom... and then the phenomenon of people getting into relationships with ChatGPT. Check it out on Patreon - https…

It’s all true - the nans were planning up to forty Nine-Elevens. We talk about the wave of (largely) pensioner arrests this weekend and what it means for civil liberties, the homelessness minister doing a landlord whoopsie, and then we read an article about what it’s like to be gentrified out of your neighbourhood as a 0.1%er.

Due to illness and absence we have convened an unusual cast configuration of Riley, Hussein, and Nate, in which we discuss recent allegations that the Reform UK party is "woke" because they're not transphobic enough somehow. We also discuss a Bloomberg article about the right-wing sealed biosphere that produced one of the DOGE tweens. Sorry this is…

We do a full rundown of the reactions to the online safety bill across the political spectrum, belatedly discuss the Epstein revelations, and learn about a new Guy who has decided to become the Duke of Bedford.

You remember what FDR said: a car in every garage, a chicken in every pot, and approximately forty drones equipped with less lethal armaments in every school. We go deep on Mithril Defence, a company intending, finally, to deliver on the third part of this promise. Also, Josh week continues, as Josh from the Worst of All Possible Worlds joins us in…

It's episode one of JoshWeek, as Josh from the Worst of All Possible Worlds joins us to talk about the Online Safety Act coming into force, the sudden about-turn by sensible liberals on Palestine (but you're definitely not allowed to even gently suggest that their complicity in what's happened should have any effect on their lives, of course), and …

We talk about Elon’s terrible diner… but mostly another Summer of incipient race riots, and what are the current left responses?

For this week's bonus, we're joined by writer, cartoonist, host of No Gods No Mayors, and friend of the show Mattie Lubchansky to discuss the goings on in New York City.

For this week's bonus episode, we're joined by friend of the show Gareth Dennis to discuss the upcoming 'infrastructure reforms' that could obviously make a huge difference, if done intelligently, but... don't seem to be shaping up that way. Which comes as an enormous surprise to all of us. Get the whole episode on Patreon here! *TF LIVE ALERT* You…

Becca joins the gang to discuss her recent investigation into the use of prison as a “place of safety” for mental health crises.

Get more TF episodes each week…

DSA organiser and friend of the show Noah returns to talk about resisting ICE in Los Angeles, and the consequences of that ongoing mobilisation of fascist paramilitaries. But first, we talk about a new “frontier city” that’s asking: just how much will an unstable, irradiated landfill accelerate AI development? Get the whole episode on Patreon here!…

Tom Mills and Dan Hind talk to us about their work on what a functioning BBC might look like, and how that’s less about finding the exact right political balance (any day now, surely!) and more about ownership structure and material factors. In the first half, we are once again overtaken by events, as this seems to be another “week where decades ha…

Jacob Silverman returns to the pod to talk about the breakdown in relationship between Musk and Trump, and the tensions that have always simmered at the heart of the Silicon Valley / MAGA alliance… but how it will likely remain in place after the extremely replaceable Elon pissed everyone off so much he was asked to leave. Also, Jacob went to the B…

Lauren from Batting Around joins Riley, Nova, and Hussein to talk sports - what’s Banana Ball? What’re the odds of Neom SC winning the Saudi Premier League?

The oft-requested episode is finally here, in which we watch what can only be described as a piece of outsider art: a zero-budget, zero-effort British gangster film made sometime between 2011 and 2017 by a woman named Sally Clack, who performs under the name Rapper Shampagne™. Dave Courtney is in this but you'd barely know it. This film caused Nate…

Eleanor Janega stops by to talk about her new project on the history of The Crusades with American Prestige, and how these largely failed military campaigns against basically everyone East of the Italian peninsula transformed into the iconography of Islamophobia at home. But first, we look at more flailing from the Labour Government, a plan to sent…
