2020/02/08

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

We’re back with season 2 of Podcasting is Praxis; it’ll be grittier, darker and probably all downhill from here - a perfect mirror for reality. David (@SanitaryNaptime), Rob (@CountRthe), Jamie (@Wizardcubes), and James (@BrovineOfBored) talk Iran, discuss the Labour leadership election, and Rob loses his mind at Polly Toynbee’s middlebrow garbage. Also, we start scoring Comment or Commentariat to find out whomst among us is the greatest connoisseur of trash takes! Links: Follow us at

It's almost time. It's almost HAPPENING. Elijah, James, Matt & Jamie take a look at some of the last things to come out of the winter election, and think back to some of the dumbest highlights of the whole long and painful time, and then the collective has a bit of a think about who, as individuals, we'll be voting for. More importantly, why. To intro the show, we have a musical treat supplied by Elijah, so do enjoy Toxic Ephex feat. The Black Cat Workers Collective - Referendum

Content Warning: TERFs, Transphobia In this episode, Natalie, Matt and James run David through a few aspects of the challenges and barriers that society - and some of the worst in it - puts up for people who aren't cisgender. They also explain the type of help that's actually available, and how it's woefully incapable of operating at anything close to the necessary capacity. One of the reasons we're keen to do these types of episodes - and there will be more down the line - is to confront our

Polls! Polls? Polls. Rather than have a big obsessive panic about number go up, number go down, we take a look at what MRP actually means, and the reasons that polling is a bit pointless until the only poll that matters; the exit poll. Also, we take a brief look back over the Climate Change debate, a fun jaunt into the CUKTIG Manifesto Pamphlet and enjoy the fightback against media bias through twitter antics that have forced Jo Swinson to carefully avoid denying allegations that she's a squirrel

We're on a roll! In part one of our first ever two part episode, we cast our minds back to when Johnson and Swinson lived out their personal nightmares on live TV.* We also chat voter registration and the baffling state of the BBC turning full propagandist, before pivoting hard left towards the Labour Manifesto. When we recorded this we originally intended to just run for the usual one episode length, but it turns out that when you give a load of socialists good policies to get out there, we

Editing delays have been plaguing us, so apologies for the late release. Should be back to normal pretty soon! Join us for a look back at some of last week's highlights in election hell, including our takes on the first election debate, laughing at Jo Swinson trying to go full Welcome to City 17 as some sort of complaint, and a complete failure among us to grasp exactly how Lib Dem policy even exists.

Episode 16 - Would EU like to know more?

Podcasting is Praxis ·

2019/11/22

Slightly late release here, but we're taking a little break from the election to cover something that we're all sick to death of talking around - the EU. Rob leads the discussion with a primer on what the EU is, leading to some discussion on whether or not the EU could ever truly be something good, and we deep dive into the bendy banana bunker for some choice headlines in our guessing game, where the answer is always hellworld.

We've survived war christmas, and we didn't even have to travel back to 2016 to do it! Another week of news, another series of self-owns, including the Brexit Party collapsing in on itself, the Lib Dem's making sure they follow the lead of another protest vote party and doing the same, Johnson attempting to appear as if he didn't fall out of a spacecraft and Swinson fully embracing the death of humility.

It's election season, and that means that loads of people are going from door to door to get their party's message out. In this episode, Michael, Seb, Chris and our guest Alicia talk about what's involved in campaigning, how to navigate the kinds of questions that come up on the doorstep, how to contribute if the doorstep isn't your thing, and just generally why it's a good thing to do!

A little look on the news, including the people who are getting out of dodge before we see ++ HUMILIATION FOR THEM ++ in the papers, and a nice look at the Lib Dem strategy of just outright lying about how graphs and numbers work.

It's news again this week, wherein we do our best to explain how the hell an election actually works because of the Fixed Term Parliament Act and how it gives so much scope for the tories to do as they please around it. Also, another terrible article about the Home Secretary Priti Patel, and a game of Comment or Commentariat to establish whomst is the better of the James'.

We're back! Sorry for the late release, but we're back with an almost full episode. We recorded this before Parliament's Super Saturday, so we've just chopped out the Brexit update, so instead, we've got some of the lesser reported parts of last week's news, as well as an article in which Toby Young starts with a fair point and ends with brain spiders, Comment or Commentariat, and a bunch of promises on our part that we really hope aren't hollow!
