Summary

This month's unlocked Britainology involves Milo forcing Nate to watch an incredibly awkward episode of I'm Alan Partridge and then helping him talk him off the ledge. We also explore how Partridge is not all that exaggerated a version of a British radio DJ, replete with some Richard Madeley and Jeremy Vine all-time classics. [If anything seems weirdly out-of-date, just remember that this was originally released on September 21, 2021]. To get more Britainology--and a ton of other bonus content, plus access to our Discord server--sign up on the Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/trashfuture *WEB DESIGN ALERT* Tom Allen is a friend of the show (and the designer behind our website). If you need web design help, reach out to him here:  https://www.tomallen.media/ Trashfuture are: Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Hussein (@HKesvani), Nate (@inthesedeserts), and Alice (@AliceAvizandum)

too.

0:35.8

Yeah, I mean, we love to see it, don't we?

We really needed a nice summer after the lockdowns and misery of the previous winter,

and what we got was not that.

The truest part of Britonology is, of course, the weather analysis at the start of every show.

0:51.9

0:52.4

Because there's nothing more British than the weather. Well, exactly, because when you hate literally everyone you encounter, but you feel obligated
