E172 - Worst Coast Main Line

Would you like to hear all about Starmer as told through the filter of a Murdoch rag? I hope not, because we rapidly skip over this to talk about more strike action before Rob guides us all on a tour through the miserable pains of rail privatisation and how this wretch of a system persists.Premium Episodes! http://patreon.com/praxiscastFollow us @PraxiscastCheck out our streams (Thursday around 7pm) at twitch.tv/praxiscastCast:David - @SanitaryNaptimeRob - @CountRtheAlasdair - @BallistariJames - @anarchonburyJamie - @crimebeavis

E171 - Kleine Volt, Kleine Reich

We're putting a couple of very smol beans under the microscope this week with the assistance of Lilah; rampantly successful and definitely not falling over BritishVolt, the car battery maker neither you or your car manufacturer has heard of, and the cooked psyche of the journalist class as the only platform that lends them any undue respect is dying a little.

E169 - Speaking of Something Awful ft. Juliet Jacques

We kick off Season 4 in style with Very Special Guest Juliet Jacques; we’ve got interesting new uses for crypto rigs, restyle BBC comedy, and then check in the new state of the UK. No, you’re not sitting at the grownups table. Also CoC is back…

E168 - Indefinite Articles (Featuring Sinan)

While the cats are away, the mice will invite their mate over to crack open a cold one and read some truly terrible articles from deeply stupid publications. But first, some entirely outdated commentary on the political shambles that is our deeply Normal Island.
Featuring Sinan Kose - without a book for once!

E167 - The Other Parasite Movie

In situations of chaos there are fortunes to be made. No, not the chaos of Westminster, but a simpler time when the aggression of houses nearly ended the world of men.
Join us for this timely Cultural Committee, wherein we take a look at Rob's favourite movie...

Black Thoughts 5 - Nostalgia

Typical: you wait months for a Black Thought, and then two come along at once. In this fifth episode of Black Thoughts James goes on a self-indulgent reverie of nostalgia, remembering the good old days when they first began to realise that Britain had a problem with looking backwards.

Black Thoughts 4 - Political Language, Politicised Language, and Status Games

After an even longer wait, in this fourth episode of Black Thoughts James dives into a discussion of the politics of language, and how political wars are waged on the left using politicised language - and genuinely good desires - for individual gain.
Content warning: this episode features mention of suicide and problematic language. In particular, ableist language is directly discussed.
This episode makes reference to the essay "Exiting the Vampire Castle" by the late Mark Fisher, first published in The North Star in 2013 and since republished on Open Democracy here: https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/opendemocracyuk/exiting-vampire-castle/.

E166 - Defined Negatives Pension

Our Pod Dad David has left us alone with Rob, who has brought out the hit board game UK Pensions Finance to entertain us on his custody episode. Join us as we investigate what has maybe, perhaps, if you squint, being going on in the realm of imaginary numbers lately.
