    The One Million Mayors of Manchesterism feat. Dan Davies

    Dan Davies, friend of the show and author of The Unaccountability Machine: Why Big Systems Make Terrible Decisions—and How the World Lost Its Mind, joins us to discuss Burnhamism. Or maybe Manchesterism? It’s got to be an ism. It’s got to be the perfect mixture of disapproving of the problem and declaring any solution… simply out of bounds.

    White Skin, White Masks feat. Nish Kumar

    We’ve brought on our friend and long-suffering literary correspondent Nish Kumar to discuss Matthew Goodwin’s new book that he wrote using AI while cribbing a stupid meme from the Joe Rogan Experience: “suicidal empathy.” The hits are all there, but Goodwin can’t bring himself to go full Camp of the Saints, and instead just pads his word count with the help of computer and winds up writing white grievance Fanon instead.

    Large Labubu Models feat. Adam Becker

    We speak with astrophysicist and journalist Adam Becker about a new development: what if you could outsource even more aspects of your childcare, namely children’s play, to an LLM-connected device? What if your stuffed rabbit espoused Dengism? What if you wound up with an ancap Labubu? All this and more, on this week’s episode. Check out Dreaming Against the Machine here!

    The Turing Chaser Test

    In advance of the local elections, we got to witness a new phenomenon in British politics: Corbyning Without Corbyn. We also discuss Richard Dawkins deciding that Claude is real and female and also doesn't exist as soon as he stops thinking about her. Where have we heard this before?

    A Milton Keynes of the Mud feat. Gareth Dennis

    We welcome Gareth back to the show to discuss something he recently discovered: a planned private city of a million people? in Cambridgeshire? Supposedly called Forest City One, and built entirely out of wood? Obviously this is never going to get built, but there are some... tendencies represented here. We also talk about recent profiles of Reform voters and the garbage UK media environment that has brought us to this point. Check out Rail Natter here!

    Fair Working Apathy feat. Emiliano Mellino

    Emiliano Mellino from TBIJ joins us to discuss the upcoming (and some might say shortcoming) Fair Working Agency, and we ask the perennial question: will it stop bosses from ripping you off? But first, we look at an article praising an innovative business owner for giving himself the early stages of AI psychosis. Check out Emiliano's work here!

    The House that Garfield Built feat. Hettie O’Brien

    Riley and November speak with journalist Hettie O’Brien about her book The Asset Class: How Private Equity Turned Capitalism Against Itself. It’s not necessarily the most uplifting topic, but it’s very illuminating. And don’t worry: we also talk about “MPs should be allowed to be drunk on the job,” and much more.

    It's the food one, in which we discuss the weird fixations of the Make America Healthy Again death cult and their particular emphasis on "real food," however that might be defined today. And we also have to talk about the strangely heavy jeans that RFK Jr is always wearing. It's a whole lot all at once. Get the whole episode on Patreon here! TF Merch is still available here!
