We've got some global finance news for you all (things are great, don't worry), a TERROR round up (things are great, don't worry), and an update on everyone's favourite nautical troublemaker (lol. lmao even). Then we talk to Dr Charlotte Riley about the UK's ongoing crisis in higher education. Buy Charlotte's book: https://www.hup.harvard.edu/books/9780674258495 Subscribe for three whole bonus epi...

Are you worried about your water bills? Or the fact that the water companies have sold all their critical infrastructure, never done any maintenance, and filled every body of water in Britain with raw sewage? Well worry no longer because justice is on the horizon at last, probably. Also we welcome the return of everybody's favourite kind of article: Buffoon Columnist Writes Fanfiction About A Left...

It's a news round up this week and there are Many Fine Things going on, none of which should alarm or concern you in any way, I'm quite sure. The Americans are anti-sharing, Pokemon is anti-entrepreneur, Microsoft are anti-gamer, and 1997's Labour Party is anti-going-away-and-never-bothering-us-again. All this plus a fascist uprising and Comment or Commentariat - what's not to love? Subscribe for...

For today's premium episode we cover some new applications of gaming tech for the British Army by yet another one of Tony Blair's spawn. We also discuss the blackshirts and their "protest" in Portsmouth and Dover the other week (this episode was in editing hell for a little while and these events had just happened at time of recording). And for our main topic, we take a big bite out of the questio...

Rob's back from his long march across the Devonshire countryside, and as is his wont he has brought terrible gifts. But before we get to that, Alasdair has an update from the international desk. It's all happening in Yemen! Humvees and high tech maritime radar for everyone; a generous present from the Saudis and Yanks as an offering to Ansar Allah asking them to kindly please leave the internation...

We're west bound and down for our 450th episode cultural committee extravaganza, as we correct an unfathomable oversight: only one member of the podcast had seen 1977's greatest film, Smokey and the Bandit.

It's time to put one last boot into the fetid corpse of Keir Starmer's political career before he swans off into some freebie goldmine in the mountains of Davos. Once that loser is seen off, we also talked about the London Rental Opportunity of the Week (Richie Rich Edition) as reported in the FT with excellent tips on how to make the most of the local amenities, such as "add your hinge date to yo...

Join in and nod along sagely as another homebuilding plan that'll definitely happen and make a meaningful difference comes up for the twentieth time in as many prime ministers. Keep nodding as Rob explains the middle of the beginning of the beginning of the end of the dollar because confidence is fake. Stop nodding because the episode is over, you're done now, free at last.

In today's episode we issue a slight corrective on the previous episode; by all accounts Jason Arday was as much of an incredible person as he would have had us believe. In more irritating news, have you ever wondered what it looks like when a pair of far right "journalists" realise that they might have bitten off more than they can chew? Well it's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it type affair but it's v...

This was meant to be a lighter episode. But unfortunately our hand was forced by the behaviour of the British Press once again as we felt compelled to give them a kicking after their disgusting campaign against the late Dr. Jason Arday. The back half of the episode, however, has all of your faves: Failures in logistics by the US DOD, hellspawned robots, a Turkish grifter, and new possibilities for...

We're here to give you an update on how the Americans are destroying the world for their own gain. But first you need to hear about how the rich are destroying the countryside, Harry Potter fans are destroying the concept of dignity, and badgers are destroying the game of golf. So it's not all bad news at least. Note: we apologise for the Swiss power tools you can hear in the background of Rob's a...

Heat madness descends upon the pod once again as we settle in for another cultural committee. Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you combined geopolitics, Rube Goldberg machines, and some of the worst accent work since Rob? Well find out right here, right now, as we watch a bunch of Hollywood titans at the top of their game. Follow Lilah on Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/user/sh...

After a brief round up of Dry Britain's Military Readiness (to commit crimes), we learn about how some brave Top Gearists are battling the Woke Scourge of Child Social Care on the streets of our nation's capital.  Subscribe for three whole bonus episodes a month: https://www.patreon.com/praxiscast   Watch streams: https://www.twitch.tv/praxiscast   Buy shirts: https://praxiscast.teemill.com/   Fol...

After a brief round up of the latest news - car is on fire, no driver behind the wheel, more at 11 - it's time to explore the greatest crisis gripping the Second Worst Nation On Earth this week: neurodivergent people refusing to buck their ideas up and get on with it like the boomers did in 1976. Tune in to find out how bad your chances of getting a diagnosis are, even before the clowns at Channel...

It's a new dawn for British politics. Blunkettite thought is spreading across the country at a fever pitch; people are crazed, dancing in the streets and bellowing great yawps amidst manic laughter and tears streaming down their faces. That's right, it's a round up of Andy Burnham's new cabinet and your beloved co-hosts have been struck with the same affliction. And to truly wound our psyches, Rob...

It's a heaping helping of empty calories in today's premium episode as at least two thirds of it might already be out of date. Not to be deterred, we talk about the last gasp of DEFRA before it is handed over to the political titan Angela Eagle, as well as a quick preview of what ideas the UK's new manager in chief has in store. To round it all out, David brings us the latest technology being deve...

Did you know Britain is a nation on the verge of Total War? It's true! The government said so. No, not with itself, with Sinister Foreign Powers, who undermine us at every turn and are the secret reason everything here is shit and expensive. All this time you thought your problems were caused by four decades of neoliberal misrule and market capitalism but it was actually Russia, you rube! Subscrib...

We are sad to announce that we have been overtaken my events, and are therefore forced to talk about perennial gobshite Nigel Farage. He's had a rough couple of months, and we discuss the self inflicted circumstances leading up to the parade of self-pity that was his public announcement last week.  And for dessert, David has an article for us which seems to be a text-based Let's Play of some journ...

We are once again joined by Praxiscast's Fifth Beatle, and it's such a momentous occasion that Jamie wrote show notes. Gather round as we blow the lid off a sprawling network of conspiracies that will shock you to your very core! Also there's some sports news and comment or commentariat by Alasdair, who has always been the person who does that and if you remember differently then maybe something s...

Someone at Amazon is still turning the big crank that works the Animatronic Tom Clancy Ghostwriting Machine and so we're back to subject ourselves to the latest "masterpiece" written by, and starring, that claymation dork from the office.

Listener, it is hot. But even in the deep throes of heat madness we would never let that dampen our spirits now that the K-dog, special K (K for Keir), Chief Keith, Keir Starmer has unceremoniously been booted to the kerb. Joining us to beat his pathetic corpse with sticks is our good friend Gareth. And on top of that, Gareth tormented Rob with a several hundred page report about a prospective Sim...

It's cultural committee time and we thought, "sure, it's fun to watch unrepentant blockbuster garbage constantly, but what about something classier, with an ensemble cast of big names?". To that end, we give you 2009's G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra.

Rejoice! The Labour Party have solved online forever! No longer will the children of this great nation be unsafe online, for they're being banned from everything. An unfortunate side effect is that every adult in the country will have to send Peter Thiel a DNA sample, a bank statement, and two forms of id, but you can't put a price on peace of mind. Get all things Justin, support BISH Training: ht...

Annoyingly we recorded this episode after only one minister had resigned rather than all the others but anyway, we talked about John Healey chucking it in. We also considered the benefits of Job Centre in Your Pocket (nil). And for our main topic, we read an article about the greatest crime of the 20th century: Poshos wanting their big houses back.
