October 31, 2020 10,000 Ghosts
In this special, spoooky Halloween episode, we talk about Francis Fukuyama, and why he's so mad about the decorative Skeletons from the Disney-Pixar movie Coco. We also defend the End of History simply because Fukuyama once travelled forward in time and realised that after 1992, everything was posting.
We also talk about dog fighting version of the UFC in South London, and a crucial discussion about whether its problematic for a ghost to haunt someone 6 months younger than them.

October 28, 2020 Joker Jamil
On this (uncharacteristically long, but characteristically late) episode, we talk about 'chaotic energy' and the only poster worthy enough to be granted such a title : Jameela Jamil.
----more----
You might know Jamil from The Good Place, or as a host on Saturday morning T4. But online, she is an enigma; A seemingly successful celebrity who, despite not needing to post, not only has poster's brain, but has also innovated the format. Whether it's explaining structural privilege to a harmless fan on Instagram, sharing inspirational quotes by Louis Farrakhan on pastel backdrops, or (supposedly) not discovering Iraq was a country until her 20s, Jamil's posts operate at a level far beyond us. So, we ask : Is Jameela simply a celebrity whose posting addiction can get the better of her? Or, is she a time traveller, who understood, long before anyone else, the devastating effects of the Bank of England being allowed to control interest rates?

We also talk about the political economy of bathrobes, how we celebrated International Podcast Day and why men can't take photos of women, because they keep getting distracted by a mischievous gremlin.

October 21, 2020 Oakeshott Across the Bows
In this (once again) very late episode, we talk about one of our favourite days in 2015, when the whole world came together online to come to terms with the fact that Prime Minister David Cameron put his (possibly mid?) dick inside a pig. It was a moment that Cameron can't ever escape from, which means he has done what we wish we all could : log off forever.
We also talk about why Phoebe hates the Pig Poop Balls meme, Why Dartford and Detroit are twin cities with their own versions of club music, and the time when British journalist Isobel Oakeshott slid into Hussein's DMs.

October 05, 2020 I Knew Him, Ratio
After a bit of a hiatus (because work sucks, I know), we're back with a seemingly now outdated episode, but nonetheless, charting a historical moment in the history of posts.
We talk about the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the strange phenomenon of "Ruthkanda" among the Liberal Posterati. Which leads us to talk about Paul Krugman who, while winning the Nobel Prize in 2008, will now always be known for "that 9/11 tweet", which resulted in a historically unprecedented Quote Tweet ratio. We're not sure if that moment will ever be topped, but then again, there is a US election on the way.

September 24, 2020 I'm Butter Baby
This episode happened by accident. We were supposed to talk about a very powerful poster, but got too carried away with the cold open, that it became the first "Tweets of the week" show.
In this episode, we talk about two kinds of baby - one covered in butter, and one not. And then, we talk about how John Milbank, one of the "Blue Labour" philosophical figureheads, got mad online about t-shirts. We also talk about corpses as property, and whether disavowing necrophiles is actually extremely problematic.

September 15, 2020 Hack The Planet!
On this week's (very late) episode, we talk about the 90's movie "Hackers" - a vision of what a world where this thing called "the internet" might change society somewhat, and how a group of sexy, crop-topped teenagers who would later go on to work at Google and Palantir, are the only people who can stop it.
We also talk about whether dinosaurs are just big cows, why there's no better form of self care than to let out a long Moo, and we talk about the best poster in the world, Donald Trump, and his press conference in which he warns about the dangers of leftists running around with bags of soup.

September 07, 2020 It's Been Six Days Since You Looked At Me ft. Ryan Broderick (@Broderick)
On this very late edition of the pod, we're joined by Ryan Broderick, who writes the very good (but sadly, Hentai sparse) Garbage Day newsletter, covering all the weird, bizarre and surreal elements of the online hellworld. He also is a co-host of "The Content Mines" podcast.
We were meant to talk about Bodybuilders dot com, specifically, a 2008 thread in which lots of beefy himbos are convinced there are only 5 days in a week. But, because we aren't losers who write notes, we instead talk about Fred Durst's golf vines, nights out in Hemel Hempstead, a dispute on anime forums about whether Hentai is colonialist, and, crucially, how I (Hussein) have lived a lie my entire life.

August 21, 2020 All The Short Kings
Our guest rescheduled, so this was a last-minute episode where we talk about Emma Kennedy's amazing tweet about how a deer spontaneously combusted, and how a CIA agent is the only person who has seen pictures.

We also talk about whether bootleg anime is a form of imperialism, and we discuss the 2017 movie "Downsizing", where everyone becomes a Short King, but somehow society still sucks just as much. Plus, why Ja Rule and Tom Delonge should host a BBC show about UFO spotting.

August 18, 2020 WAP stands for Wet Ass Pigs
On this week's episode, Hussein (@hkesvani) and Phoebe (@Phoebe_Rosa_holly) discuss Fred Durst's short-lived podcast, more about how "Short Earth Theory" works, and about the 2019 "30-50 Feral Hogs" tweet – one of the last fully pure posts that could withstand the 2016 discourse machine.
1 hr 27 min
August 12, 2020 The Tragedy of Danny Dyer ft. Milo Edwards
This week, we examine Britain's finest actor, Danny Dyer, who, while promoting a movie about a guy with two wives, posted one of the greatest tweets about 9/11. In so doing, he insulted the Taliban so much that there was no Islamic ruling of what could or should be done with him.
We also talk about how 9/11 killed Nu Metal, the psychology of Essex, UK Pimp My Ride and why Milo's Michael York voice is a form of gaslighting.
