Honk If You’re Honu feat. Dr Gareth Fearn
It's the free one!
This week’s episode is the first free one of 2024 and was recorded before the new year; it features Riley, Milo, and Alice discussing the UK government’s attempts to make schools officially practice cruelty to trans kids as a matter of policy. Also discussed: an AI startup that wants to automate the entirety of business from start to finish, and a separate segment where Riley and Dr Gareth Fearn discuss the state of planning and development the UK. Why is it so labyrinthine and difficult, and why does it serve the default UK line of ‘better things aren’t possible?’ All this and more, in this episode.

Always happy to add another Gareth to my repertoire
The Infinity Garethlet. When it's completed it allows its wielder to talk about anything on a podcast.
I see a Gareth in the title and I pog up!
Sea Sick Steve is a session musician doing a bit, so the rest of the year he does session musicianing.
You think with a significant portion of the South and Midlands underwater officials would see the need for planning, but that would be * checks notes * unnecessary regulation that hinders growth in flood prevention technology.
Love it when Riley invents a new tense in the English language in order to introduce an interview segment
The UK is five guys getting rich off the vape detectors in school bathrooms the students aren't allowed to piss in
As an American I think your “planners” do a lot more than our “planners” to the point where I was a bit lost on the significance of this discussion. Maybe because our public sector is so nonexistent. Idk if giving us simple people a primer on such things would make sense but I wanted to share my confusion. Much love.
As an East Asian, America doesn’t do any form of government planning. And the Anglo’s aren’t much better because they exported their culture of libertarianism to the US. East Asia rose from the ashes of WW2 to dominate American industry single handedly through government central planning.
Hi Gareth! Wait a minute...
Well I guess if you ever need a Canadian lawyer for the show, you now know where to find that academic Garreth.
