I just listened to the Twunkhole Capital episode and nearly got killed by the Eurofinance Debauchery bit. What are some other great Trashfuture episodes? I already have all the Felix guest episodes bookmarked after listening to the Malcolm Gladwell one

    I think the episode that got me interested in TF was "Precision Strikes from the Shorty Airforce," wherein they talk about Tesla's sham practices and their viability as a company being the result of Cali's neoliberal schemes.

      I'm having trouble finding it, but they also did this episode with a cool anecdote wherein they mention how a certain private company was deterred from installing fiber optic cable because the board of directors would have their yearly bonuses penalized by any course of action that would amortize over a period of 5 years or longer as opposed to more short term actions, whereas an old holdover telephone co-op from the New Deal was able to install fiber in a small Appalachian county with the help of a mule named 'Ol Bub, that later boosted it's per capita earnings by doing online English courses to these rich young Chinese kids who have millionaire parents and, now, Appalachian accents. I think they became known as Silicon Holler.
