Every Day A New Nadir

In a grand case of irony, Pete is not sick and I have spent a couple of days being horrendously ill. Hence the delay... In an inevitable turn of events the audio has gone a bit funny again. Unsurprisingly, it's Pete's fault. I've done what I can, but I'm not a miracle worker. This week we discuss Pete's recent trip to the doctor, pizza toppings, Pete's early computer use (looking up sex on Encarta '95), the nanny state, naked cleaners and something else.

Our Season 2 return is a disorganised mess. But Pete's makes a triumphant return. We discuss Pete's ongoing food poisoning, Gone Girl, Gavin & Stacey, more migration discussions, and a bunch of other things including Trump, the end of the world, and Paul Nuttall. It is quite meandering to be honest.

The sound quality of the pod is getting marginally better. Though, this week it is a little quiet. Not sure what happened there. So you will have to turn the volume up, but because the quality has improved, there is some good news. We cover a wide range of topics this time, so the pod is a bit longer than usual. We discuss whether schizophrenics' voices talk to each other, whether being factually correct on the pod is worth it, Alex Jones and iodine tablets, and how Pete feels about returning to England. There's also a bit of chat about capitalist realism, perceptions versus reality in immigration debates, and what Pete's ideal sexbot looks like. Notes: Capitalist Realism: Is there no alternative?
