Flash Forward: An Illustrated Guide to Possible (And Not So Possible) Tomorrows takes readers on a journey from speculative fiction to speculative “fact.” Producer and host of the podcast Flash Forward, Rose Eveleth poses provocative questions about our future, which are brought to life by 12 of the most imaginative comics and graphic artists at work, including Matt Lubchanksy, Sophie Goldstein, Ben Passmore, and Box Brown. Each artist chooses a subject close to their heart—Ignatz Award nominee Julia Gfrörer, for instance, will imagine a future in which robots make art—and presents their chosen future in their own style. Drawing on her interviews with experts in various fields of study, Eveleth will then report on what is complete fantasy and what is only just out of reach in insightful essays following the comics. This book introduces compelling visions of the future and vividly explores the human consequences of developing technologies. Flash Forward reveals how complicated, messy, incredible, frightening, and strange our future might be.CONTRIBUTING ARTISTS INCLUDE: Matt Lubchansky, Sophie Goldstein, Zach Weinersmith, Box Brown, Maki Naro, John Jennings, Julia Gfrörer, Chris Jones, Blue Delliquanti, Amelia Onorato, Kate Sheridan, Sophia Foster-Dimino, Ziyed Ayoub, Ben Passmore

In this unlocked episode of Britainology, Nate and Milo are discussing the 2005 film Green Street Hooligans, in which an American played by Elijah Wood goes to Britain and gets inducted into a football firm, learning a lot about himself along the way. Is it a good movie? No. But does it accurately portray football hooliganism? Also no.

This week, we're talking Dilbert and Scott Adams. Why? Well, for some reason all five of us liked Dilbert as a kid. Also, it just so happens that friend of the show Aisling McCrea (@ambientGillian) just published an article in Current Affairs about Dilbert's strange appeal. So, let's talk about it. Let's talk about Scott Adams' promise that he can make you no-touch cum. Let's dilb out.

Yes. It happened. We’re laughing. We don’t have any high hopes for a positive impact, but we’re laughing because Trump has covid and it’s not looking good for America’s fattest, oldest, and dumbest president. Also, since Riley was on holiday, he let Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Hussein (@HKesvani), and Nate (@inthesedeserts) run this episode themselves. You will probably appreciate Riley’s contributions to the show after hearing this -- but we hope you enjoy!

This week we bring back historian, podcaster, and certified big guy Patrick Wyman (@Patrick_Wyman) to discuss the terrible 2013 Michael Bay film Pain & Gain.

Why is the line detached from the material reality of so many people? Why is the line divorced? Why are there so many zombie companies, and why does it seem like the financial movers and shakers are fine with government stimulus to basically non-functional entities? Well, to answer big important finance questions, we have Barrons journalist Alexandra Scaggs (@alexandrascaggs) to investigate, alongside Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Hussein (@HKesvani), and Alice (@AliceAvizandum).

This week's regular episode got delayed because of scheduling, so in the interim we've unlocked a bonus from our Patreon. This is the follow up to the free Part 1 episode, which is available here: https://trashfuturepodcast.podbean.com/e/a-cheeky-coup-with-the-lads-feat-joe-kassabian/ Why did a steely-eyed SAS veteran Etonian weirdo team up with Margaret Thatcher's son to try and launch a coup in Equatorial Guinea in 2004? Mostly because they were bored. In this episode we discuss the consequences of a dumb plot that was foiled by an errant bird and the Zimbabwean customs office.

Specifically, how if you’re Bill Gross, one of the world’s most famous bond investors, you’ll react to your acrimonious divorce in 2015 by writing a series of stranger and stranger investment outlooks that focus mainly on how much you hate your imbecilic do-nothing son.

Riley, Milo, Alice, and Nate discuss a German financier who loves financing a lavish lifestyle of yachts, parties, and handstands (?) by selling illiquid bonds. He's a miracle of modern financial markets - a Mozart figure who toured the continent with Helmut Kohl, wowing crowds of onlookers at his ability to be a businessman at the age of 14. Maybe Tom Hulce would play him in a movie? Check it out! We also discuss a start up and some quick news hits.

We're back again to explain the eccentricities and fault lines of this truly normal island. This week, Milo and Nate discuss the 1970s in Britain, why everything went downhill, why the decade radicalised the Boomers, and why the TV from that era is.... not good. Hope you enjoy!

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is a country run by and for landlords. However, the coronavirus crisis has created a problem: if people congregate en masse in offices and places of business, the disease spreads and people die! However, mitigating this requires people to not be in offices or grim city centre restaurants. So, what is the British commentator class saying about it? Die for Pret. That's right folks, you need to die for Pret.
