We had journalist Daniel Trilling on the podcast to discuss his research into The Home Office - how it became such a strange, cruel, dysfunctional department, and how it fits into the larger cruel absurdities of immigration policy in western countries. Also, we talk excitedly about Matt Hancock’s new appointment to the UN (...we got the bad news a couple days after recording).

Previous Episode
*PREVIEW* Britainology 25: The North feat. Rob Smith and Kaye Wiggins
This week, Nate and Milo discuss the North-South divide of England with help from two friends of the show--and FT reporters--Rob Smith (@bondhack) and Kaye Wiggins (@kayewiggins). Rob is from Derby (technically not in the North, but presumed to be) and Kaye is from Southport (definitely in the North). We discuss their experiences in the South, the fact that Liverpool and Essex have so much in common, and a guide for international students in the UK that offers a doctrinal definition of Northern Monkeys vs Southern Fairies. Hope you enjoy!
Rob and Kaye worked on a piece about financial misadventures in the North that you should check out: https://t.co/YaFREWTHbg?amp=1

*PREVIEW* The Great Train Robbery feat Gareth Dennis
The gang talks all things rail with with railway engineer and the host of Rail Natter, Gareth Dennis (@GarethDennis). We go back into the history of how Britain's railways "got like that," and how government plans to centralise and revitalise Great British Rail is just a coat of red white and blue paint over (you guessed it!) giving money to scammy start ups.
