The quarantine squad is back, bored to shit and hungover! Wonders await you within! DELIGHT at our petty childish moaning about the Big Brain Adult Labour leader. OUTRAGE at our schadenfreude over capitalist parasites losing their investment properties. BE AMAZED at our callous lack of preparedness and research. PLAY ALONG with our new game, Guess The Press, having finally done the right thing and taken the commentariat out of the equation.

Your quarantined pod hosts brave the long journey from the couch to the desk to bring you another episode of High Quality Content from some Very Competent People. We discuss why the economy is actually fake, who the worst examples of homo economicus are, and why Joe Biden is definitely dead.

Coughing and spluttering, the pod returns with the addition of a fresh Ben who is an actual knowledge-haver on matters of viruses and how they spread, dunno why but we thought let’s get him on as it’s a slow news week. Also we decide which of us must be thrown into the volcano to appease The Economy. ALL HAIL NUMBER.
(Note: this was recorded on Thursday 12th March, and all numbers have got much worse since then.)

The very best podcasters, who all definitely got here through their own excellence, discuss the concept of meritocracy and how it's absolutely 100% real, and you too, could be a high tier podcaster like any of us - just so long as you've got the right genetic aptitude for it

It's time to gaze across the Atlantic again to the very extremely real country that is the USA, and bask in the complete failure of the melts in the Democrats to fight off an unelectable and divisive socialist in the arena of democracy.
Not only is it good for laughing at the meltdowns, but there are some good lessons to be had from the campaign, and we take a little look at what the Bernie Campaign has done differently from Labour during the Corbyn era that seems to have worked better.
Also, some Comment or Commentariat.

In this episode we unleash the dragon of chaos to celebrate the recovery of Jordan Peterson, discuss the rat problem infesting the former colonies, behold the new cabinet of bloodless monsters appointed by BoJo and discuss the utter scandal of Windrush and the deportations. It’s bleak, but solidarity and love forever, comrades!

We recorded this episode a few days before the Iowa Caucus, so if you'd like to travel back to a time before ratty pete's app blew up, this is the episode for you!
A Big Structural Episode (emphasis on Big) sees Elijah, James, Rob, and Jamie go over the entirety of the US democratic primary campaign until now, specially summarised for Limey Listeners who don’t have the chutzpah to follow New York Times writers on Twitter. From the esoterica behind the mystical “Eye-Oh-Wah Caucus” and the Democratic selection process, to a rundown of the current candidates and their respective hives of scum and villainy, to a Greatest Hits of the absolute clown-shoes campaigns some of these cretins are running, we’ve got it all. BYOB, you’re gonna need it.Warning- long.NB: USA passport holders can donate to the Bernie Sanders campaign here:https://berniesanders.com/

Its our first cultural commentary episode, and it's Star Wars.
David (@SanitaryNaptime), James (@anarchonbury) & Jamie (@WizardCubes) try to piece together what the narrative is of the Skywalker Saga as a whole, both in good and bad faith, a wider discussion on the importance and power of narratives within society, and of course the tragedy of the Colombian Grebe.
