Apologies for the late episode - both Dan and Riley have been on tour, but we've got this one for you (recorded a while back). Contained herein: ideas for new recipes, Nazi statue watch, and the Tory leader "uniting the country" with a very thin gruel of vibes alone.The Bottlemen

Riley and Dan were in the Trashfuture studios last week, and we spoke to certified indie superfan and sometime producer Nate Bethea about synthesisers, what it means to like music others find offputting, and (according to Riley) definitely making up at least half the band names.

Well, the mad lad did it: Canada's oldest young conservative Pierre Poilievre is head of the Conservative Party. We talk about what makes him a particular threat to Canada's comfortable governing consensus, which is essentially that he has matched the energy and madness of his crazy ideas with the permanent grinding crisis in which Canada is stuck.…

Dan and Riley are recording together in Montreal for the first time (temporally) and the second time (as far as you know).

Note: this one is mentioned as the premium but we decided to make it a free one! Peter Korotaev (known by an alias on previous episodes, while he was in Kyiv) rejoins us to talk about the strange war economy that Ukraine has found itself with.

Riley and Dan speak about the history and politics of fertiliser with Matt Huber, author of Climate Change as Class War.

Dan is off being a rock star, so Riley and Tech Won't Save Us's Paris Marx take a look at That Rogers Outage and question how "more competition" could have stopped this, but first - a few developments in the mad world of self driving cars, a concept that only makes sense when you assume money is free forever.

With Bitcoin done, Canada's putative conservative leader becomes absorbed by the forest, and emerges as an esoteric log-o-crat.

Finally, we review some expert testimony on…

It's a Canada Day Bonus!

Dan and Riley reflect on what the crypto crash means for Canadian bitcoin maxi's like Pierre Poilievre, as well as other scurrilous programmes designed to part musicians from their worthless fiat currency and art in exchange for valuable database entries.

On this rare Riley-less episode Dan is joined by Michael Barclay, Arlen Thompson and Tim Kingsbury to discuss Michaels new book on the rise (and rise!) of Canadian Indie Rock 2000-2006.

Alex Scaggs of Barrons joins Dan and Riley to discuss the sanctions being levelled on Russia. What do they entail? How will they work in practice? What the fuck is SWIFT?

Canada's reckoning with its right wing "uprising" continues, so Riley and Dan brought on Matt Christman to talk about the meaning civil unrest takes on in an age of extreme alienation, how the Trucker became a symbol of the libertarian ideal in the (North) American consciousness, and how it came to be that the mass lumpen Canadian right will only a…
