Podcasting is Praxis

Part 2 of our extremely over running episode on the labour manifesto is here for your listening pleasure, topped off with a brain melting round of Comment or Commentariat!   Follow us at http://twitter.com/Praxiscast   Cast David http://twitter.com/SanitaryNaptime Alicia http://twitter.com/aliciajumman Jon http://twitter.com/Tsietisin Natalie Jamie   Look out for our Election Livestream on 12th De...

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...

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 exi...

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, wher...

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...

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! We also co...

What do you get when you cross an empty chair, a galactic candidacy and a thorough channelling of your inner gammon? This episode apparently.   Follow us on twitter for General Election Hell Chat and more at http://twitter.com/PraxisCast   This weeks cast is David, Rob, Jon, along with newcomers Alex and Chris!   Important links: http://tinyurl.com/momentumvol https://youtu.be/ndoSyrZtNCo

Video games are fun, but have you ever worked in the Video Game industry? Turns out, it can be a bit worse than you might expect. Join us to hear some of the awful things the industry has done, and some of the good news around changing practices as workers start to organise. Also, rather than Comment or Commentariat, we play "Guess the Scandal", which is sure to be fun for all the family. As alway...

It's election time!   Hosting the celebrations are Rob, Natalie, Alasdair, Jon and Xander. 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. Also, Comment or Commentariat takes a turn for poor Alasdair.   Follow us at h...

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'.   Follow us on Twitter:...

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 pro...

We did it, we finally got some time and a break in the news to do a climate change episode! Hooray! Come join Natalie, Rob, Matty, James, and Dan for a wonderful adventure into the burning hellworld that is our planet.   As well as a look at how capitalism ruins everything it touches, there's a dip into climate activism - from the mass engagement of Gen Z with FridaysforFuture, to the mass engagem...

To cap off Conference Season, it's unfortunately time to cover the Tories. Join us for a look at the absolutely baffling lack of new ideas, and the horrifying doubling down on some of the older stuff.   On this week's episode, Jon makes his first appearance alongside Alasdair, Jamie, Rob & David, not just for the conference, but for some coverage of the news (there's good stuff this week!), an art...

In this week's episode, Alasdair (@SA_Ballistari), David (@SanitaryNaptime), Ben (smart man who doesn't use twitter), Seb (@PCSocialism) and Xander (@xjmaw) tackle Tom Watson's narrowly avoiding being dissolved in acid, the aftermath of the Supreme Court ruling on the prorogation of parliament, the collapse of Thomas Cook a la every other mega conglomerated business like Carillion, Joris Bohnson's...

Rob and Elijah join a further expanded cast with Seb and Kirby on an unfortunate expedition into just what Lib Dem policy actually is, have a meltdown over a terrible article, and play another game of Comment or Commentariat.

BONUS EP!   We delve into the proroguing of parliament, ponder an extremely brainspider infested article about the supremacy of Jo Swinson's Lib Dems and do some Comment or Commentariat.

Content Warning: DWP & Poverty experience   The group talk about the experiences of one of our own surviving a changing welfare system in the UK under the yoke of austerity and Tory rule. Not going to lie to you, this one does get a bit heavy at points. We cover a long decline in standards of welfare, with a lot of first hand accounts from Fargle in his debut on the podcast. The ministers responsi...

After an eventful week in parliament, and the probable imminent death of the tories, we're back to bring you a round-up of the comedy of errors. Parliamentary procedure, terrible speeches, and unity in opposition all get a look-in, followed by an awful article written by our favourite jauntily-angled former tory, Rory Stewart - and of course, a trip to the hot take mines for another game of Commen...

In our opening episode, the content we want to do is held hostage by the news and we’re left with no choice but to talk about Brexit, a little of the fun that it’ll bring for us all, and the hyperthunk brains that have brought it to us.   This weeks cast: David - http://twitter.com/SanitaryNaptime Elijah - http://twitter.com/KlezmerRouge Alasdair - http://twitter.com/SA_Ballistari Xander - http://...
