## Cast

> During World War II and the early Cold War there were a group of English intelligence operatives who spied for the Soviet Union. All of them basically walked around with huge neon signs attached to them that said 'I am a spy for the Soviet Union,' but due to the diamond-hard class solidarity of Britain's establishment, everyone forced themselves to not notice this. We brought on Alice to discuss the Cambridge Spies and we hope you enjoy it.

This episode of Trashfuture was published on Mon, Nov 18th, 2019, and
 runs for about 77 minutes.

## Description

> It’s Parts 1 and 2 of our journey through Boris Johnson's terrible novel, 72 Virgins. Or as we're calling it, Boris Gear Solid: Tactical Racism Action.
>
>
> In Part 1, which we recorded live at Cambridge, we are introduced to our characters of the Boris Johnson Extended Universe. Meet such characters as Definitely Not Boris Johnson, Horny African Parking Attendant, Unnecessary Shoehorned In Classics Reference, and Woman.
>
>
> Bad writing often reveals more about the author than they intend, and this is precisely what we explored a few months later in Part 2 with our friend from Australia, Aidan ‘Taco’ Jones. In his writing, and with what he thinks is funny, what does Boris accidentally reveal about the way he believes the world works? What does he think of ordinary people? How is he so horny for all of his characters, and yet so deeply sexless?

Why is it that when we make up a fake Brendan O'Neill article, the real Brendan O'Neill writes it basically verbatim?

Jerk van der Klerk

Jerk van der Klerk is one of Milo's recurring characters. Debuted in the 2-part special on Mark Thatcher's attempted coup in Equatorial Guinea (A Cheeky Coup with the Lads, and A Cheeky Coup with the Lads, Part II).

### Biography

A South African mercenary who, after fighting in the Rhodesian Bush War, fell in with Simon Mann's Executive Outcomes operation. Has since come up with many other planned operations, which almost inevitably fail due to unforeseeable bird/Antonov collisions. Has an oddly-developed sense of ethics, and has often made reference to being involved with a charity that supports child soldiers of Africa's many conflicts, by ensuring they are properly equipped for soldiering. Possible associate of Bamko Margeric

## Description

> Riley (@raaleh), Hussein (@HKesvani), Milo (@Milo\_Edwards), and special guest Fraser Watt (@fraserwat) speak with Canadian journalist and writer Luke Savage (@LukewSavage) about Ontario’s recently-elected Premier Doug Ford, the right-wing politician that Canadian liberals can only compare to Trump because they’ve forgotten about his moron brother Rob. Additionally, the team takes turns dunking on Theresa May’s Chequers summit and Elon Musk’s dumb toy submarine.
> In this recording, Luke mentions two groups that deserve your support in Ontario: Fight for 15 and Fairness ((link omitted) and Black Lives Matter Toronto ((link omitted) can commodify your dissent with a t-shirt from (link omitted) You can also purchase useful kitchen implements from our socialist cookware sponsor, Vremi ((link omitted) (@inthesedeserts) produced this, wrote the show notes, and has two opinions about podcasts: first, that any episode over 70 minutes is an abomination; second, that any podcast with more than five guests is a Blazin' Squad reunion.

 runs for about 7 minutes.

## Description

> This week's bonus is the first installment of something we've been wanting to do for a while: a Q&A episode. However, before we could get there, we had to read our beloved boy Toby Young's insane holiday column about his 'vertiginous' 'defenestration' from public life. In this preview, you can get a taste of what it's like when we have free reign to respond to our curiouscat.

Boris Gear Solid Part 3: Syncretic Apotheosis ft. Nish Kumar

This episode of Trashfuture was published on Mon, Nov 18th, 2019, and
 runs for about 79 minutes.

## Description

> Comedian Nish Kumar joins the gang to read from Boris Johnson's strange 2004 taut action comedy racist sex novel 72 Virgins for the third and final time. It is genuinely unbelievable that this guy is Prime Minister, not just because of all the outrageous things he says or implies about everyone who isn't an Eton educated white guy, but also because he's just so... incompetent as a communicator. Mostly it reveals more about him, his contempt for you and me, and his extreme internalised guilt about voting for the Iraq War.

## Description

> This week, Alice joins Nate and Milo to discuss the British reality TV show 'Grand Designs,' in which insane people decide to sacrifice it all to build the house of their dreams. Does it sometimes go okay? Sure. But most of the time, it's a slow-motion wreck with dyspeptic commentary from what we might describe as architecture Jeremy Clarkson. Enjoy!

> There's a ticking time bomb in the economy. No, a DIFFERENT ticking time bomb. This week, Riley, Milo, Hussein, and Alice discuss the balance-sheet chicanery of a mysterious Australian plane enthusiast that is slowly but surely imploding every SoftBank investment vehicle.

 runs for about 10 minutes.

## Description

> This week, we're talking about the recent Irish elections. We could do the usual thing and make it up as we go along, but we'd rather speak to an expert -- so we brought on Ciaran Dold (@CiaranDold) of the Corner Späti podcast to break it down for us.

In Search of an Even More Racist Facebook

This episode of Trashfuture was published on Mon, Jan 11th, 2021, and
 runs for about 89 minutes.

## Description

> Unlocking this episode in light of Parler et al being banhammered by the rest of the internet. This episode is all about the history and economics of one of the most strange and resentful subsectors of the tech industry: tech companies started by right wingers and grievances.
> Original Copy: Have you heard the story about right-wingers who decide to build their own social media, crowdfunding, or even ridesharing sites? We're talking Parler, Gab, Hatreon, and the like. Why do they all fail? Why are they so poorly assembled? And why does this keep happening? Riley, Milo, and Alice attempt to decipher this riddle for our times.

* Nate Bethea
* Alice Caldwell-Kelly

## Description

> This week features the full cast of Riley (@raaleh), Hussein (@HKesvani), Nate (@inthesedeserts), and Alice (@AliceAvizandum) on the topic of recent tech CEOs testifying in front of the U.S. House of Representatives. As you would expect, the Democrats asked anodyne questions about being slightly nicer capitalists and the Republicans asked why their emails are going to spam. It’s a brilliant foray into the world of Big Guys and QAnon running for Congress. You’ll love.

## Description

> 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.
