mrpwase posted:Finally listened to the podcast, good work guys, it was great. I thought it was pretty cruel to transition from the Internationale back into God Save The Queen at the end though, it made me feel dirty. It’s a horrible experience to be dumped back into reality from the loving embrace of socialist chat, I felt the outro should embody that feeling. Niric posted:Re the podcast, good job guys, look forward to the next one. Would it be possible to keep it shorter though? Not that your dulcet tones get grating, but honestly unless it's super in depth anything over an hour (or even 45 mins) tends to be pretty baggy and self indulgent. I mean, the gold standard of smart and interesting people talking about a complex thing, in our time, clocks in at less than an hour even in the extended podcast cuts. Also, as a point of praxis for your audience, going beyond 50 mins or so makes it harder to fit into a commute We’re aiming for an hour with an absolute maximum runtime of an hour and a half, typically mirroring the other typical podcast lengths in the same field a la Trashfuture, WDTATW and Reel Politik, but if the masses scream out for a length reduction we’d be open to trying it out. Sarcastic reply: just listen to it on the way to work and the way back  Bobby Deluxe posted:Podcast content was good, and I'm looking forward to the next one. Could use some extra editing, like getting everyone to sync the start of recording with a set tone, which makes it easier to line up (one person seemed to be delayed a bit judging by the delay between their jokes and the laughter), and the volume was spiking hard one one person's audio, so could have done with some high end clipping. We did a sync, but it’s possible one of us clapped on 1 rather than after 1 lol, I’ll add it to the list of pre show checks. I’ve got a possible solution to that spiking and hopefully I can get it successfully implemented for the next episode! I’m glad you enjoyed it

xtothez posted:I think if Boris calls an election before Brexit day we're heading for another hung parliament. He'll push a narrative of 'rebels are trying to undermine our negotiations with the EU', which provides a tissue-thin veneer of legitimacy that he's trying to avoid a No Deal and allows remain-leaning Tories to still vote for him. Meanwhile he can hoover up all the BXP votes based on his actions in the last few weeks. Unlike May, Boris has no issue with promising unicorns & rainbows for any other topic Labour are likely to compete on, as recent headlines show. With our current media I'm genuinely concerned that nuanced and detailed left wing policies will lose out to simplistic promises of tax cuts and more public sector resources that the Tories have no intention on delivering. See: how Trump promised to make all working class richer and how many are still waiting on it. Again, this pre supposes that the working class will vote Tory as much as they have after nine years of being bummed in the gob. Trump pulled it off because Obama did gently caress all for the working classes for the most part, the working classes can only look at the tories as Obama in this situation.

xtothez posted:The working classes have spent the last 30 years being told it's the EU doing the bumming, and that lie worked on enough people to not only let Leave win in the first place but (narrowly) gave May another two years loving about at the steering wheel. This election would be framed as everyone's very last chance to get free, versus a traitorous remain agenda that has spent the last 3 years subverting democracy. Boris will also unashamedly promise the Earth knowing there's not a drat thing anyone can do when he fails to deliver, because Brexit is all his base cares about. Yeah, I get where you’re coming from, I just don’t see the brexit party being as weak an antagonist to the conservatives to not gently caress them hard in a lot of areas. They’re always going to veer for the harder side of things, they’re not tainted by previous failed governance and the tories keep being shown up. I reckon if this week is Interesting Times enough for the tories they’ll just come across as looking incapable to deal with it, handing Farage a stronger vote share and seriously splitting the right wing vote. gently caress knows really because the right have never been significantly split in the UK so it could go any way, but I do reckon there’s a chance of a labour majority still.

HJB posted:Not related to anything but I was looking around for various things and saw that Tony Benn once had an article printed in an edition of the Spoons mag. It also made me realise that Tim Martin's been thankfully quiet lately. I reserve more hatred towards Tim Martin than any other non politician brexiteer. He’s a oval office on such a massive level and treats his staff like complete poo poo.

Failed Imagineer posted:Is it going to be a continuous rotation, or do we expect Darwinian action to prune out the betas to form a stable elite cadre of political jokemen and jokewomen? Intention is to keep it rotating with whoever wants to be involved, but some natural thinning may occur if people decide it isn't for them. Barry Foster posted:I can't remember, is anything happening to punish her for literally siding with the tories over her own party over and over and over and over again? okayyyyyyyyyyyyynotaspy posted:I've listened to the podcast and liked it. Absolutely, making sure we do have a diverse cast from this diverse community is v important to us, and this came up during the planning meetings Rarity has already expressed interest in joining in after we're a few episodes in, and isn't the only one interested, I'd encourage anyone who wants to join in to do so! This is the UKMT Podcast, and it should reflect the UKMT as much as it can.
