Hey Phileas, here's the new format

The Phileas Club ·

2025/05/02

Here we are! This is the first evolution of the new format: we're going from "Patrick talks" to "Patrick talks, but also you sometimes get 'letters' from different people around the world telling you what's happening in their corner of the planet".There won't necessarily be contributor segments for every episode, but I do hope it will be a very regular occurrence. I think it's a really good way to get a bit more of the spirit that makes this show special, and I hope you enjoy it too. :)And this week

The Phileas Club ·

2025/02/05

Hey I'm back! And swearing! Maybe a bit too much. But it is an hour long show, so maybe the rate of expletives is acceptable.So what's on the menu today? Well, after a 10 minutes introduction I go on to talk about the situation in the US (mostly in incomprehensible rantings), and the I explain why all of this is your fault. Mostly it has to do with wokes being obnoxious and trust in government being eroded by populists and media (and everyone in America if we're being honest). Is it ok if I put a
