Podcasting is Praxis

We've brought on Eleanor Janega as a special treat to discuss the friendship crisis of Tories at Marxist universities, why "free speech" is just another word for calipers, new voter ID rules, the latest tech that hates you, and we're re-opening schools yet again. Also, Rob has more adventures in pronunciation.  Podlinks: Support Eleanor's patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GoingMedieval   Buy our so...

We had to re-record a lot of this due to technical issues on last weeks episode, but we managed it and it's at least 70% as good as the original material!   A dive into the news and some Comment or Commentariat sandwich somehow yet another cursed theme park, coming to a soon to be underwater city near you!   Follow us on twitter @Praxiscast Buy t-shirts from us on Teespring!   Cast: Alasdair - @SA...

There's been some technical issues so this one's a bit shorter than usual, sorry about that. Still, we've got solar panel scams, twirling bowties, disease barracks, and keep up with the latest spycops bill twists and turns. Also, we try to answer the age-old question; does the butler or footman bring you lunch? Buy our fine tat, keep Jamie in halved peppers: https://teespring.com/stores/praxiscast...

It's your hot stonk tips podcast, bursting with Gamestop content, shorting your Labour options before the elections, and buying hard gamma on Russia-connected laptops for schoolkids. But really we're here for 2021, the season of Labour Big Ideas - that's why we're reading an Ian Dunt article about the whiz-bang economic future under Kieth. Podlinks:  Support those arrested for teaching a statue ho...

Did you know there is still a forever war going on? There is, and we're going to talk about it! Join us as we delve into the Pestonian question of "what is going on?" in Afghanistan, and how we've ended up there, a sharp nosedive into a very big brained article about why Baz isn't wrong about English nationalism actually, he's just misunderstood, and another interview with the Simulated Opposition...

Content Warning: One mention of rape in the spycops discussion Distinctly short on Jameses, the pod shares half a pepper to talk food parcels, Elon Musk’s space feudalism, the failed attempt to rein in the new Spycops bill (thanks Kieth!), but we spend most of our time talking about the US Capitol Chicken Coup and the future of our online politics and the platforms we all love. Please don’t delete...

We celebrate 2021 with an extra-long episode that may start with lighthearted movie chat, but then veers into big dinner parties, Rob’s screaming rage at Peston, the Assange verdict, and a big helping of everything ‘rona. We’ve got schools, ski resorts, and lockdown levels. Also James introduces a new character, the truly eerie Kieth AI. (Recorded before the former colonies went hogwild again.) Fo...

A bit late due to an outbreak of editor’s lurgy, but we’re here to talk about Labour’s new reward system for callers, Watt Tomson Bookies gives you all the hot tips you need for 2021, and hoovers will have superpowers in the post-Brexit realm. It’s the post-Christmas stocking stuffer you can’t ask of your bald uncle.    Follow us @Praxiscast   Podcrew:  David - @SanitaryNaptime Jamie - @Wizardcube...

We hide out in the privatised royal train toilets, support Iran through buying water futures in California, but spend most of our time in the quantum world of freeports, where job creation, wealth, and art may or may not exist, but you can be sure nobody's paying any tax. Coming soon to a depressed local economy near you! Also Santa has brought all the podpeople the gifts they didn't ask for (imag...

Taking a look at the austerity still being forced on us all by the recent Spending Review, we examine what this might mean for us all, why this keeps happening, the economic illiteracy of the media class that allows it to.   T-Shirts are still on sale! Get them at http://teespring.com/stores/praxiscast   Cast: David - @SanitaryNaptime James - @anarchonbury Jamie - @wizardcubes Seb - @PCSocialism B...

Fully stocked on Jameses, we return to Normal Island to finally get around talking about the Corbyn (un)suspension, define Scottish city limits, and fire journalists at No. 10 with a mortar. But we spend most of our time talking about the UK's most threatened class: the aristocracy.

The dang cheeto is/could be/may not be out of the White House and his replacement is another senile old racist and capitalist lickspittle. We talk about the Trump and Biden campaigns, the worst and most predictable commentariat reactions (incl. Kieth), and discuss what we all really want to see from the US secret archives. Also Elijah has some suggestions for deep frying.  Follow us @praxiscast Be...

We venture forth onto the most insufferable parts of the internet - condescending austere twitter - to gaze upon the culinary marvels that people who almost always turn out to be landlords, demand that you feed your children since the free school meals are off. Also, we take a look at the Socialist Campaign Group's pamphlet titled "Winning the Future: Socialist responses to the coronavirus crisis"...

Special guest Riley from TRASHFUTURE joins us to talk about the disgraceful left wing bias inherent in BBC comedy. Cast: Riley - @raaleh David - @sanitarynaptime Alasdair - @sa_ballistari Jamie - @wizardcubes

In this bonusode, Rob talks with Daezy (@naija0329 ) about BTS, the ARMY fanbase, perceptions of BTS and Korean music in the media, and how much fun it is to argue with Frances Tweetman. Which it isn't. But you do get to meet actually nice people online and have the chance to learn something new.  If you're not familiar, go listen to some of it on YouTube and see/hear for yourself!    Daezy's BTS...

Mic Wright earns the first-ever PiP double guest challenge coin as we talk about grouse moors, the return of God and His dislike of melts, and an extended double header on the current state of the Labour party. At some point the Chuckle Brothers show up – that’ll teach us to record in a mini-heatwave. Pod link: Subscribe to Mic's cool substack:  brokenbottleboy.substack.com Pod crew:  Very Special...

It's Year Two of the great PiP experiment and we're off to a powerful start. Special guest Mic Wright joins us on a tour of Extinction Rebellion, deserted offices, DomCummies Matrix Data Centre, and a cul-de-sac of being poor as a fashion show - courtesy of the Times. Also he's too good at Comment or Commentariat.  Follow us @Praxiscast  Pod links:  Subscribe to Mic's cool substack: brokenbottlebo...

We did it! One full year of Podcasting is Praxis, and we're still going, thanks in no part to a series of individuals, circumstances, and happenings over the last year. We thought we'd do the right thing, and take a look back on a few of the choicest cuts on the rotten, decayed leg bone that has been this last year.   Follow us on twitter @Praxiscast   Cast   Ben David - @SanitaryNaptime Elijah -...

James ( @anarchonbury ) makes good on an old promise, and invites special guest Curtis Adams to visit the pod.   Featuring Audio by Nine Inch Nails from the album "Ghosts I-IV", distributed under Creative Commons License Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 United States (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 US) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/us/ Featuring Audio by Nine Inch Nails from the album...

It's another cultural committee outing, with special guest Sinan Kose!   We left the topic of this episode in your hands dear listeners, and proving that democracy doesn't work once again, you selected Star Trek, wherein we debate over what kind of utopia the Federation is, because it's definitely not communist, dissect some of the extremely immediately post 9/11 content that is still very much pe...

It's a full tour of Britain (well, except Wales) as we open the door to ScotPol, discuss the delightful and varied (alleged) crimes of Tory MPs and Lords, report from the increasingly unhinged fronts of the terf wars, and end on a delightful note of Comment or Commentariat.  Also, the podcrew went and did a bunch of libel etc. during the recording so it took a bit to get this one out. See if you c...

The Cultural Committee reconvenes to talk about the Jurassic Park/World series of films, the Internet Time Zone (RIP), and gets Mad About Magma.   Follow us @Praxiscast   Cast:   David - @SanitaryNaptime James - @anarchonbury Jamie - @WizardCubes

The PiP Cultural Committee is back in session to discuss vidja games, representations of colonialism and political conflict overall. We're very excited to be joined by Josh Sawyer , lead designer of such classics as Icewind Dale II, Fallout: New Vegas, and Pillars of Eternity. Most recently he was the narrative designer for Pillars of Eternity 2, set in a fantasy world where colonisation is part o...

You, the listener, are cancelled. You’re all cancelled. The Cultural Marxists are back after a brief technical failure to open your Epstein Brain, feel very bad for JK Rowling’s menshies, and take you to a small business tyrant for a 10-quid-off pizza dinner. It’s a cavalcade of positivity as we end with a heaping helping of Comment or Commentariat.  Pod participation trophies Rob, @CountRthe Jon,...
