We brought on twitter finance geniuses Quantian1 and Neoliberal Dad to discuss the Gamestop short squeeze, the Robinhood app, and all the ways in which the line is now officially divorced. Hope you enjoy!
2021-02-01 23:53:39 +0000 UTC View PostGood lord, the Gen Xers of Britain are a special bunch. And man, do they love to reminisce in the YouTube comments. To discuss this phenomenon, and the culture surrounding it, we brought on TF techno expert Riley--as well as George, the creator of the UKRaveComments twitter account--to discuss. 2021-01-31 00:01:01 +0000 UTC View Post
Yes, it's a little bit late. It's late because Nate and Milo got exposed to covid right before Christmas and couldn't record while waiting on test results. But we have in fact discussed Jim Davidson's terrible bawdy Cinderella pantomime from 1995, entitled 'Sinderella', and discussed the concept ...
2021-01-30 23:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostWe've brought on friend of the show and multiple returning champion Séamus Malekafzali to discuss Saudi Arabia's deranged new city -- Neom -- and the specific detail that they're going to make a perfectly linear city called The Line. Do you know what its name is in Arabic? It's ذا لاين. Wh...
2021-01-28 00:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostThis week's bonus features Riley, Milo, Nate, and Alice on the topic of, well, this stupid island. And a frozen treats startup, and the economy as dictated by the line, and much more. Sorry for the delay on this!

This is it. The last straw. The final bone.
Andrew and Riley are here one last time for the final episode of season 5 of Bones. No other season of the show exists as far as we know. Join us as the writers of Bones basically give up one last time and send Bones to Indonesia, send Booth...

2021-01-11 13:05:36 +0000 UTC View PostHave you heard of a book called 'Nudge'? have you heard of 'nudge theory'? Well, we've dug into and -- believe it or not -- it's so deeply stupid that we had to make sure to discuss it on here as part of our Intelligence series with Chapo Trap House's Felix Biederman. Hope you enjoy!
2021-01-07 00:25:40 +0000 UTC View PostEnjoy our holiday roundup featuring Riley, Milo, Hussein, and Alice -- with special guest (and YouTube Zone star) Devon.
Producer's note: because this was recorded super-remotely there are some times when people sound a bit weird. Sorry about that!
2020-12-31 00:02:00 +0000 UTC View PostOn this festive Britainology we are joined by Alice to discuss the 1982 Falklands War. Why has it permanently lodged in the psyche of the Boomers? Why do people care about these rocks in the middle of the South Atlantic? Why did a British task force commander decide to explode himself in order to...
2020-12-24 19:21:34 +0000 UTC View PostWe did a deep dive into the ways in which being a Tory donor means you'll get massive, no-bid contracts for government services -- even if you massively fail at providing them over and over again! To help us understand, we brought on investigative journalist and friend of the show Henry Dyer to d...

Riley had to move! Andrew has children! Many things caused the delays in this penultimate episode of the Boney Island Whitefish, but trust us: it was so boring as to be undiscussable. So instead, Andrew and Riley have a pleasant conversation looking back on the show and some elements of our own l...

2020-12-14 00:12:44 +0000 UTC View PostWe've decided to revisit two of our favorite subjects from the past year: OYO, the hotel app that destroys hotels; and Lex Greensill's one weird trick to collapse the global economy. You will enjoy hearing Riley, Milo, and Alice's takes on this.
2020-12-10 00:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostAs an added bonus this week, please enjoy a pilot episode of a series that we didn't have time to make -- a show featuring Milo, comedian Michael Fry, and special guest Oobah Butler.
2020-12-07 17:45:51 +0000 UTC View PostWe talked so much about the Netflix-produced Mark Wahlberg Boston Cop film SPENSER CONFIDENTIAL. What a great punchline! What an absurd concept to declare that 85 million people had watched it. Anyway, we realised that we had to actually view the film in order to complete the cycle, so we brought...

How to explain this? Tom Watson--yes, THAT Tom Watson--has written a 'taut, political thriller' about what if Labour and the Tories came together to make sure NHS patient data was sold to pharmaceutical companies in an ethical way. It's deeply boring in a manner that reflects its author, but it's...

We're at it again. Nate and Milo have reviewed the 1968 film CARRY ON UP THE KHYBER for yet another Britainology, and this one is a real laser-focused look at this absurd island. Why is it so horny? Why is everything a double entendre? Is this really the nation that once ruled the waves? You be t...

Riley posits the argument that 'The History Boys' is the actual true 20th century British artistic work. We also discuss airport novels and w...

2020-10-31 11:58:39 +0000 UTC View PostRiley did the unthinkable. The unimaginable.
