The Presidents Club: A Club for Presidents ft. Mic Wright and Niamh McIntyre

Howdy y'all. Welcome to your weekend Trashfuture. Join Riley (@raaleh), Hussein (@HKesvani), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), and our twitter friend Suze Marsupial (@suzemarsupial) filling in as fourth host to talk about the slimiest take on the President's Club from the slimiest journalist out there (Brendan O'Neill, of course) in the first half with journalists Niamh McIntyre (@Niamh_Mcintyre) and Mic Wright (@brokenbottleboy). Audio goblins attacked the first segment, so we unfortunately lost our detailed discussion of Niamh's article on the sexualisation of the service industry, but expect that this week.

In the second half, we discuss Mic's exposé on local councils and homelessness policy, the cult of homeownership, and the dumbest "tech" solution we've yet seen pointed at a problem of this magnitude.

Niamh's article is here: https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/zmqdy8/sexual-harassment-is-all-too-common-in-hospitality-work

Mic's article is here: https://mic-wright-dl3y.squarespace.com/what-you-need-to-know/2018/1/13/homelessness

Thanks to Jinsang for our theme song, herewego
