Summary

Riley (@raaleh), Hussein (@HKesvani), and Milo (@Milo_Edwards) calling from inside a car in Utah, sit down with Ash Sarkar (@AyoCaesar), senior editor at Novara and Wiley biographer to talk about the history of and political bent of Grime off the back of Ash's run in with Piers Morgan on Good Morning Britain. Then, in an uncharacteristic move, the second half explores some more sincere topics rather than piss stained irony, with Ash turning it around and asking us about being a Muslim on the left (well, mainly Hussein) and the broader political purpose of irony, and the role of persuasive language. It was a really interesting, and often reflexive conversation I enjoyed having. Anyway, follow us on Twitter - @trashfuturepod Thanks to Jinsang for our theme song, Herewego, available on Spotify If you want to bump Afrobashment like Ash, check out the link here to Yo Darlin by NSG feat.

1:18.6	Miss, correct.
1:20.6	Like, I really, I really hate, I think I'm on, like, the wrong podcast because I actually have
1:25.6	very little engagement or, uh, interest in technology. What I actually have very little engagement or interest in technology.
1:30.8	What I do have is a very healthy fear and respect for the supernatural.
1:35.7	So really, if you want to talk about like the sense of futurism, I'm like, yeah, sure,
1:41.5	but I'm first going to have to like consult the augury.
1:44.0	Spooky Logan Paul holding a seance in the suicide forest.
