Was she the victim of foul play, an accident, or did she choose to disappear? In this episode of The Vanished, we retrace Diana’s last known movements, strange witness accounts, and the lingering mystery that has never been solved or.. was never meant to be solved.

This month Heather & Matt are too busy "working" to perform their vital role of reigning Helen & Glen in from being the cyclical haters they were born to be - that's right, we're throwing it back to the original line-up babyyy!
Join Helen & Glen as they take on the online cottage industry of monetizing your trauma in order to be the best activist there ever was. We discuss how identity is becoming the core of our politics, and how those identities are reified by the trauma attached to them, and analyse how this intersects with social-media-as-a-career-ladder to create a society in which "sharing your story" of the worst thing that ever happened to you is actually ... highly profitable.
If you hate everyone and yourself, you'll love this episode! Join us!

Donald Trump loves to talk about tariffs, and people love to panic about them. But what exactly are they? Are they really all that new? And what does Trump's fondness for them say about our the current state of liberalism? Listen to this episode for answers to at least one or two of those questions.

To celebrate 75 episodes of pure socialist republican slurry, we thought we would kick off Season 2 of Casement's Leftovers by returning to the man who first brought us all together: Mark Fisher. The Weird and the Eerie – published just weeks before Fisher's death by suicide in January 2017 – is a work of literary criticism that has always seemed strange to us. We get together to try to make sense of this final work, which brings us to conversations about the nature of reality, capitalism, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and everything in between. What is the "weird" and the "eerie"? Why does any of this matter? Cross the threshold and get weird with us. It's nice in here. The rabbit killer did not eat for a week And no way he can look at meat No bottle has he anymore It could be his mangled teeth He sees jawbones on the street Advertisements become carnivores And roadworkers turn into jawbones And he has visions of islands Heavily covered in slime The villagers dance round pre-fabs And laugh through twisted mouths Don't eat, it's disallowed Suck on marrowbones and energy from the mainland Support the show…

Helen and Matt finally conclude their famed Berlin trilogy by speaking to Caoimhe of The Irish Bloc Berlin. A "Berlin-based platform for Irish solidarity with Palestine", the Irish Bloc has been on the frontlines of opposition to Germany's continued support for Israel and the Berlin police's brutal repression tactics. We talk to Caoimhe about the group's organising efforts, but also dig deeper into just why Germany is so fucked. Follow The Irish Bloc at irishblocberlin on Instagram Support the show…

We continue our German urlaub with a very simple question: what the fuck is going on in Europe?? There is no one better to help us with this burning question than Ciarán from the fantastic Corner Späti podcast. Ciarán (like somebody else we know) is an Irish podcaster currently living in Berlin, but he also happens to be the only person in the world who actually understands the EU (editor's note: we fact-checked this, it's true). Recorded from Matt's safehouse in the heart of the European empire, we discuss an array of topics such as odd socks, our favourite flags, and the benefits of drink-driving, before Ciarán answers all of our questions about Europe, like: what is Ursula von der Leyen's actual *job?* What's a "fiscal transfer"? And who the fuck are Volt? Make sure to check out Corner Späti for all your European needs and tune in next week for the conclusion of our Berlin Trilogy! Support the show…

The housing crisis is the definitive social issue of our time, affecting almost everybody across the West in varied and horrifying ways. But how do we go about. solving it? One seemingly novel idea has been put forward by housing activists in Berlin: simply take properties out of the hands of the massive landlords and place them back under tenant control. In this, the first in our mini-series of episodes recorded live from Matt’s bedroom in Berlin, Matt and Helen speak to Danielle of Right 2 The City / 'Deutsche Wohnen & Co. enteignen' about the 2021 referendum on the expropriation of over 200,000 properties in Germany’s capital. What’s the thinking behind this move? What has happened since? And can we learn anything from this mass movement that we can apply to the situation in Ireland? Support the show…

Helen’s on holiday this week but Glen and Matt bravely soldier on without them, as the news isn’t going to react to itself. Tune in to the world’s only male-exclusive podcast as we perform our semi-regular temperature check on the state of Western civilisation. The U.K. is having an election, the U.S. is entering a home, and Germany’s brain is unfortunately gone totally kaput. We also talk about Ireland recognising Palestine and the reactions to the ICC potentially issuing arrest warrants for Netanyahu and others. Come join us in the testosterone tank, won’t you?

The Return of the Third World (w/ Vijay Prashad) 1:20:59

During the middle of the 20th century, the Third World movement represented the desires of billions for agency and justice. As the old colonial empires collapsed and new power structures were emerging, there was a brief moment of hope for a world in which the Global South stood strong, united and liberated. This was until the collapse of the Soviet Union and the solidification of US-led liberal capitalist democracy as the dominant global system seemed to put an end to these hopes. However, things are now changing again. At the same time as China and other large economies are helping to shift the global centre of gravity away from North America, a new global movement has sprung up in support for Palestine against the genocidal campaign being waged by Israel. We speak to Indian Marxist historian, author and public intellectual Vijay Prashad about the newfound confidence of the nations in the Global South, and the potential for a new Third World political project. This is a wide-ranging conversation that touches on the history of colonialism, the politics of resistance and the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Vijay also surprised us by having an extensive knowledge on the post-colonial history of Ireland, so we also speak about Ireland's role in the dynamics of this brave new world. Make sure to check out Vijay's books and follow him on Instagram at @possiblehistory The outro music is Ennio Morricone's 'Tema di Ali' from the 1966 film The Battle of Algiers. Support the show…
