Good Is Not Nice: The show makes mockery of many acceptable targets, such as war criminals, tech billionaires and people who make the world a worse place, and the episode descriptions always include links to fundraisers and tenant unions. | |

Trashfuture (Podcast) / int_3b79029a | comment |
Crapsaccharine World: London as a whole. The hosts have very little time or patience for all the “fun� activities and businesses that get promoted in hip publications like Vice or Time Out, seeing them as twee, annoying, exclusively filled with smug moneyed City boys on tertiary incomes, and only made possible through constant gentrification and selling off assets to billionaires. The shining example of this is the much-vaunted 2012 Olympics opening ceremony, where a pageant showing off a rose-tinted idealised version of Britain was only made possible by demolishing East London housing estates to create the Olympic Park and displacing the residents, with housing prices only getting higher and higher in the years since. | |

Wretched Hive: The UK as a whole, but of special mention is the south-east of England, where all the British hosts (Milo, Hussein and November) originate from. November in particular describes her hometown of Bromley as exceptionally grim. | |

Butt-Monkey | |
Trashfuture (Podcast) / int_47fea76b | comment |
Butt-Monkey: Many, but some particular targets include UK media commentator Brendan O'Neill and 'human labrador retriever' Matt Hancock. Graham Linehan, the once-distinguished creator of Father Ted and The IT Crowd, whose virulent transphobia rendered him effectively unemployable and cost him his marriage. The hosts take active glee whenever he appears in the news as it always precedes him humiliating himself further. Self-styled “celebrity gangster� Dave Courtney, to the point where the first episode of the sub-series Britainology was devoted to a documentary about him. The entire Labour Party under Keir Starmer, which they ignore as much as possible, and insist on calling the “Loser Party for Losers�. Among the hosts, Riley often gets ribbed for his very expensive tastes in food and fashion. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
Trashfuture (Podcast) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: The first year of the show was more loosely structured, frequently going off-topic, and recorded in Riley’s living room or whatever Airbnb the hosts were staying in. Audio difficulties and tech issues were frequent, especially with Milo joining remotely from Moscow. Fast forward to 2018, where they began recording in a studio in Tower Hamlets, Nate came on as a dedicated producer, and Riley ran a tighter ship, taking detailed extensive notes before recording and keeping the discussion focused. Grace Blakeley, who’s been among the most frequent guests, noted in 2020 how “serious� the show has gotten and that the usual process was to get drunk and record for hours. Sex and horniness comes up frequently in the first year of the show, especially from Riley; nowadays, he has to stop the conversation from getting too horny. | |

Hair-Trigger Temper: Milo, who can go from calm and sardonic to furiously ranting at something annoying or insipid. Whenever he does this, he develops what Riley calls a “relaxation vein�. | |

Trashfuture (Podcast) / int_764f6769 | comment |
Canary in a Coal Mine: Trans people, Muslims and immigrants are this to the UK whenever things look rough, with politicians and commentators of all stripes engaging in culture war bullshit to distract the populace. November, as a trans woman who converted to Islam, is especially tired of this. Also brought up when discussing insecure work for artists with Abigail Thorn. The hosts warn that, if the government can get away with leaving actors and comedians in the dirt, they will do the same for other industries. | |

Cultural Cringe: Often features discussion of the unique perversions of British culture, including referring to the UK as 'nonce/TERF island'. The sub-series Britainology has Milo introducing Nate to a different bizarre aspect of the UK, ranging from rave culture, 1970s television and the national obsession with Princess Diana, and trying to unpack it. | |

Upper-Class Twit: A frequent target of the show, but particularly relevant for the two-parter covering the failed coup d’etat in Equatorial Guinea, where most of the collaborators were wealthy Old Etonians and Harrovians who craved adventure. Sir Mark Thatcher (yes, son of Margaret) gets it particularly bad; his nickname at Harrow as “Thicky�note Harrow is already notable for being among the stupider of English public schools, along with Rugby and Charterhouse, and he once went missing during the 1982 Paris-Dakar rally because he didn’t know how to read the map. | |
