In a preview of August's second Britainology episode, we speak with Aberdeen-based musician Elijah Fynmore about the moments in UK life when you're allowed to--or expected to--break into song. What is the deal with Sweet Caroline? What is the deal with Irish folk ballads about utterly obliterating British Army Land Rovers? All this and more, in this episode.

Did you know that the City of London, the small mini-enclave that dates back to Roman times, is a separate state entity that predates the United Kingdom by hundreds of years? And that its special status makes it basically immune to disclosure rules and financial oversight? Well, sort of. Riley steps in to explain The Land of the Weird Bollards and much more.

Okay, okay, maybe you've heard the term 'posh' or 'posho' when referring to fancy British people. You're aware that this country has a reputation for its class system. But what does it actually mean? To answer this question, we brought in TF founding cohost and knower of fancy tendencies Charlie Palmer to discuss. It's all here: getting ripped at 11 am on Dubonnet, wearing a straw hat every day at school, absurd nicknames, gibberish words for everyday items, and the profound sorrow of clinging to the cultural artefacts of feudalism.

We offer one Britainology a month in addition to all the weekly TF bonus content for $5 a month, and if you desperately want more Britainology, there's also a second episode available each month on the $10 tier. Sign up here: https://www.patreon.com/trashfuture

We bring on journalist Ian MacDougall to discuss the libertarian intentional-community of Prospera, a failing city-state in the Bay Islands of Honduras, where Thiel- and Andreessen-funded weirdos have tried to create a land where anyone can open a business with any law, from any jurisdiction, anywhere, adjudicated by some guys in Arizona. We’re not making this up.

Here is this week's slightly delayed bonus--it's a recording of our live show at Edinburgh Fringe recorded at TheSpace @45 late in the evening on August 26, 2022. We discuss a wearable tech for the mind and an insane Wattpad-style fanfic about Princess Diana published in... the Telegraph? Hope you enjoy!

This week, we’re discussing the new Adam Neumann (of WeWork shame) and Marc Andreessen housing startup (details are light). We also talk a bit about Tesla’s $15k DLC for your car, and a lot of riffs about homophobic truck owner memes in the United States. Hope you enjoy!

This week's regular episode will be out tomorrow!

The gang delves into the realm of a movie being entirely funded by NFTs and filmed in the only place less real than NFTs (Neom.) Then, Riley speaks with Dominik Leusder from the Eurotrash podcast and LSE Ideas about how exactly energy got so wildly expensive.
