Podcasting is Praxis

Both weebles and anglosphere political systems wobble, but they won’t fall down. In this episode, David, Jamie, James, and Seb talk about the police as space marines, and statues as the Inciting Incident. Then they speculate on the potential for uprisings in the US and the UK, and how far we’re into the cool zone. Also there’s space marines.  Black Lives Matter US bailout donations: https://secure...

There’s way too much news and revolution going on at the moment, so we called in Hussein Kesvani (@Hkesvani) to help us out. Rowling’s TERF tirade, swimming statues, heroic traffic lights, and Very British Culture Wars. You want it, we got it! Also we discuss clipboards at sexparties, and finish with a delightful dessert of statue-only Comment or Comment or Commentariat. Recorded before the Church...

First thing to note is the time of recording on this episode was Wednesday 3rd June, so things have... escalated a little since then. Rob, Natalie, Elijah and James (not that one, or that one, or even that one) talk about the US reactions to the murder by cop of George Floyd, why Britain isn't any more progressive in how it handles race, and why civil disobedience is a proven method of effectively...

We completely ruined the news episode we were trying to record simply by being ourselves. It was a shambles from start to finish and could not be saved on the editing table.   As reparation for that, here's the long awaited second part of our cultural series wherein we examine the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including how Tony Stark is a liberal hero and how the seeds of eco-fascist propaganda have...

In our first fully unplanned episode, James posits the question of electoralism - a viable tool for the left? David , Jamie and Seb try to answer this but as always it descends into... anarchy?

It’s back to the satanic news mill for our crew of beaten-down, isolated podcasters as they lifted their infected eyes up to the heavens and see the End Is Nigh. Doesn’t matter whether it’s the supposed end of ‘rona lockdown, the Forensic Haircut now leading Labour, or the gibbering madness of political sketch writing, the crew is losing sanity points by the bucket. Soon, they shall swim out to th...

In 2020, a crack podcasters unit was shadowbanned for the crime of supporting Bernie and Corbyn. These men promptly escaped from maximum security Twitter jail to the shitposting underground. In this episode, still wanted by the government, they discuss the failure of the Bernie movement to capture the Dem nomination and draw transatlantic comparisons to Labour, before it got a sweet haircut.  Gues...

Little late to the party due to somehow still having to deal with real life in the midst of a lockdown, but here is the episode on Labour Factionalism!   David, Alasdair & Jamie are joined by Jack off of Reel Politik to look through an 860 page long compendium of ghouls that just love to wreck. It's everything you could have ever possibly not wanted, and more!   Follow us @Praxiscast Also check ou...

It’s the EU pod takeover you definitely didn’t vote for! To take your minds off the ‘rona, three dirty foreigners come together to close your pubs, supplant your royal family, and make you listen to an extended discussion about the Euro(zone). Elijah and Rob are joined by special guest star Merijn to discuss the origins and problems with the ‘common currency’, try to explain the Greek debt crisis,...

The quarantine squad is back, bored to shit and hungover! Wonders await you within! DELIGHT at our petty childish moaning about the Big Brain Adult Labour leader. OUTRAGE at our schadenfreude over capitalist parasites losing their investment properties. BE AMAZED at our callous lack of preparedness and research. PLAY ALONG with our new game, Guess The Press, having finally done the right thing and...

Your quarantined pod hosts brave the long journey from the couch to the desk to bring you another episode of High Quality Content from some Very Competent People. We discuss why the economy is actually fake, who the worst examples of homo economicus are, and why Joe Biden is definitely dead.   For rent strike information, check out the following: Living Rent Scotland: https://twitter.com/Living_Re...

Coughing and spluttering, the pod returns with the addition of a fresh Ben who is an actual knowledge-haver on matters of viruses and how they spread, dunno why but we thought let’s get him on as it’s a slow news week. Also we decide which of us must be thrown into the volcano to appease The Economy. ALL HAIL NUMBER. (Note: this was recorded on Thursday 12th March, and all numbers have got much wo...

The very best podcasters, who all definitely got here through their own excellence, discuss the concept of meritocracy and how it's absolutely 100% real, and you too, could be a high tier podcaster like any of us - just so long as you've got the right genetic aptitude for it   Follow us @Praxiscast Cast: Alasdair Ben David Jamie Rob

It's time to gaze across the Atlantic again to the very extremely real country that is the USA, and bask in the complete failure of the melts in the Democrats to fight off an unelectable and divisive socialist in the arena of democracy. Not only is it good for laughing at the meltdowns, but there are some good lessons to be had from the campaign, and we take a little look at what the Bernie Campai...

One of the organisers of Bristol Transformed, a left-wing festival of politics and culture, joins us to discuss the importance of community organising. We also have a brief round up of the week's news. Cast: Seb @PCSocialism Ben @doesntusetwitter.com Jamie @wizardcubes Josh @JCnutter https://bristoltransformed.org/

In this episode we unleash the dragon of chaos to celebrate the recovery of Jordan Peterson, discuss the rat problem infesting the former colonies, behold the new cabinet of bloodless monsters appointed by BoJo and discuss the utter scandal of Windrush and the deportations. It’s bleak, but solidarity and love forever, comrades!  King Missile - Take Stuff From Work:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

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 Yor...

Its our first cultural commentary episode, and it's Star Wars.   David ( @SanitaryNaptime ), James ( @anarchonbury ) & Jamie ( @WizardCubes ) try to piece together what the narrative is of the Skywalker Saga as a whole, both in good and bad faith, a wider discussion on the importance and power of narratives within society, and of course the tragedy of the Colombian Grebe.   Follow us @PraxisCast

Four very professional podcasters waste your time for an hour and a half(ish) [Ed note:nearly two hours].  Rob ( @CountRthe ),  Elijah ( @KlezmerRouge ), Ben, and Jamie ( @WizardCubes ) talk about the news, the Labour leadership contest, make discoveries in pronunciation, and depress themselves with the Davos conference. Includes the ever enraging Comment Or Commentariat and facts about vampires....

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 Comment...

That didn't go the way we hoped.   After a short but contemplative break, we're back, and we're looking forward. What can we do in the aftermath? Is there any point in trying?   Yes. Yes there is.   Follow us at http://twitter.com/Praxiscast Cast: Elijah - http://twitter.com/KlezmerRouge Rob - http://twitter.com/CountRThe Seb - http://twitter.com/pcsocialism Jon - http://twitter.com/Tsietisin  

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 b...

Content Warning - Antisemitism   Very Special Guest Nate Bethea of @trashfuturepod  and  @HellOfAWay joins regulars David, Alasdair, Ben, and Elijah to discuss Judaism, Jewdar, and the bizarre ubiquity of antisemitism in current British politics. We've kept the Yiddish to a minimum.   LIVESTREAM ALERT Join us from 21:30 GMT on Thursday 12th December on twitch at twitch.tv/Praxiscast  as we cover t...

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 w...

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...
