Episode 29 - Global Banking Conspiracy Part I

Cutting through the Bull in the Post-Truth Apocalypse

A lapsed quasi-satanist, a self-proclaimed science buff (with only a GCSE grade B in Physics) and a drug-addled lunatic attempt to navigate the irradiated wastelands and dung-hills of ignorance that is the Post-Truth Apocalypse. A smorgasbord of colourful language, drunken ramblings and the occasional "fact". Fact. Hosted by Ben, Gaz and Mike. This week the chaps immerse themselves in the murky world of global banking. They discuss fractional reserve banking, boom/bust cycles and the stock market crash of 1929, the Chicago School of Economics and free-market capitalism, the 2008 global banking crash, the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act by President Clinton and the expansion of the derivatives market, banker's bonuses and the bailouts, the petrodollar, and the world debt clocks. Also, the reason why Friday the 13th is considered an unlucky date, the Super Monster Robot Wolf protecting Japanese flocks of sheep, the Vatican introduces exorcism training to combat the tripling of demonic possessions, the bone-chilling laughs of Amazon's Alexa, the possible UFO crash in the Antarctic, and Gaz launches his own cult - complete with a 5,000 word manifesto!
