In this week's episode, I chat about the annual time of Remembrance and the controversies that occur around it. I also chat about other local issues like the shambles of Universal Credit and the desolation of the Odyssey complex in Belfast.www.facebook.com/belcastpodwww.twitter.com/belcastpodwww.instagram.com/belcastpodwww.patreon.com/belcastpod
This week Tom and Dan go back to basics and spend an hour chatting about recent events in media/politics. The takes range from the stone cold and frankly unappetising - Dan's outrageous treatment at the hands of Ed Miliband - to the sizzling hot and oh-so-current - Poppygate and the uses of insincerity in the politics of remembrance. Along the way we discuss Tom's baffling online encounters with David 'Dave' Aaronovitch, the Stalinist left as a training ground for centrist shitheels, and Dave's well remunerated inability to notice vast criminal conspiracies in his own workplace. We end with proposals for democratic reform of the charitable sector under socialism, naturally. Music by Makaih Beats.
David Squires joined us on the latest episode of the Nostalgia Ultras podcast to talk about his new book, Goalless Draws. The Guardian's resident football cartoonist speaks on why self-doubt can be a healthy tool a creator, the insanity of Poppygate, James McClean, the death of satire, Emo José Mourinho, the unintentional hilarity of LinkedIn, and his beloved Swindon Town. (Disclaimer: audio is patchy in parts. Thanks a lot, Skype)
Just another low-key week for Stoke. Pulis returns and it's goalless in the televised game. We chat about the positives in Stoke's display. We also talk about the rest of the league, and about the proposed European Super League. We even do some poetry, courtesy of Southampton fans. And yes, we talk about James McClean. www.wizardsofdrivel.com (4:22) Stoke 0 Middlesbrough 0 (25:45) James McClean and Poppygate (39:56) Mark Hughes' milky nightmare (43:36) European Super League - actually that bad?
