The Summer of 2026
About this episode
The hosts discuss optimism in light of the World Cup and current events, with a humorous take on personal choices.
LIVE SHOW KLAXON!!! Get your tickets to our London appearance HERE! With both British teams now out of the World Cup, can we find anything to be optimistic about in the shenanigans around Iran, Burnham and Clacton? Naomi, Alex and Kenny do their level best to dig out reasons to be hopeful ... and then there's a harsh dose of reality to contend with. Sort of like the footie really. Plus a bit of Wokey Dokery to brighten your day and ... can you guess which one of the team missed the football to go watch an opera about love and executions? Possibly not the worst choice they've ever made. Don't forget B-SIDE tomorrow, with a deep dive on Peter Theil’s Palantir, and how it has enmeshed itself into so many aspects of our lives. ***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** • We have put together a BLUESKY STARTER PACK - make like Nandy and join us there! • Email us at…
