We spend most of our waking hours at work... and we're also expected to like it. But what if you have to work a soul-crushing job at a mid-sized paper merchant in Slough, Great Britain under the management of David Brent? Will and Luke consider the compromises and humiliations that come with working for a living by watching one of their very favourite pieces of pop culture: Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's THE OFFICE. Plus: hair-raising tales from jobs past, and another discussion about the clown prince of crime. "Why Do I Need to Love a Company to Work There?" by Abi Wilkinson - https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/shopping-and-consumer-news/12129461/Why-do-I-need-to-love-a-company-to-work-there.html Follow the podcast on Twitter: @MichaelandUs

I speculate on how the Epstein case would have impacted the Clinton Administration in the alternate brunch universe, than Abi Wilkinson joins the show to explain the latest Brexit drama involving Jeremy Corbyn's godfather offer to the LibDems and Tory rebels, how the rise of Corbyn (and Bernie Sanders) has exposed all kinds of ruling class contradictions, and more.

The first episode featuring the fifth robot lion of our dumb internet Voltron! Journalist Abi Wilkinson (@AbiWilks) arrives as a guest and then is hoodwinked into leaving as a full time host because Hussein does the Get Out hypnosis on her. We (Riley, Hussein, Alex, Milo, and Abi) talk about a dumb round up of internet greivances including the killer jaegerbomb of Praljak, Twitter's ongoing difficulty with Nazis, and the weird generational greivances of Independent editor Sean O'Grady, who thinks millenials are famously too rich for our own good. The second half starts with a bizarre product, and then quickly transitions into a more serious discussion of the failures of Universal Credit and of the exterminist policies of right wing governments more generally. Come see us for a live recording at Alex's show at the Star of Kings on January 9th! Love, Riley

Journalist Abi Wilkinson joins the podcast to talk about the possible utopian dimensions of Corbynism and whether Jeremy Corbyn's rise represents a utopian intervention in UK politics. Utopian Horizons is a podcast about utopias, real and imaginary. Each episode covers a different utopia, dystopia, utopian thinker, or utopian movement, asking what they can tell us about ourselves, our society, and our future. Music: The Fiction of Utopian Studies/The Road To Oceania by The Fucked Up Beat.

I'm shocked we still have the conversation in 2017, but the fact is most people are ignorant of history and immune to good ideas. Such is the case for Guardian columnist Abi Wilkinson. Wilkinson laments the fact that so many people die with money in their pockets, choosing to pass it on to their family rather than giving it to the government to be redistributed. So, why is an inheritance tax such a bad idea? Wouldn't it be better if Britains took the 77billion pounds gifted in inheritance each year and spent it on the welfare state? Well, NO! If you want to understand why this is such a bad idea listen to today's show. ***Should we repeal the 17th amendment? If your gut response is, "What's the 17th amendment?" then you need to hit play and listen to the discussion. Lot's of great stuff today. I love days like this. Enjoy! Jason Support the show.

Kirsty Major is joined by Abi Wilkinson who revisits her piece about Labour winning the next general election.

Adam Boulton and guests discuss a dramatic week in politics as the fallout from the election throws up more questions than answers. What will a deal with the DUP look like?

Chatham House's Jacob Parakilas and writer Abi Wilkinson join Newsweek's Josh Lowe and Mirren Gidda to discuss the so-called "special relationship" between the U.K. and U.S. British Prime Minister Theresa May has made much of the fact that she got the first post-inauguration meeting with President Donald Trump. But how pleased should she be? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
