Now Is The Time Of Monsters. On Quibi

This week, Riley, Milo, Alice, and Hussein do a deep-dive on Quibi. Why is this mini-content platform supposedly worth $2 billion? Who actually stars in 8 to 15 minute videos on Quibi? And why is it all so terrible? Learn all about it by listening!

Here is the article Riley references about interest rates: https://themargins.substack.com/p/zirp-explains-the-world

We also want to pass along a link from ActBlue that lets you donate to a bunch of bail funds, Black Lives Matter local organizations, LGBTQ+ care organisations, trans rights organisations, and many more. These are all based in the US and are helping to relieve the financial burden place by America's terrible legal system on protesters and vulnerable people. Get it here: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/bail_funds_george_floyd

Also, please help us save Nour Cash and Carry from the band Housekeeping. Yes, literally the horrible pricks we mentioned in this episode are trying to gentrify Brixton Market. There's a petition here: https://www.change.org/p/lambeth-council-save-nour-cash-carry-brixton
