Sunday School: The mayor the merrier
With ex-mayor Andy Burnham now officially Labour's main man, and London mayor Sadiq Khan heading to the Lords and then who knows where, are we seeing the rise of a new mayoral political class that uses devolution to bypass the Westminster greasy pole? Naomi and Kenny look at the pros and cons of a mayoral stop on the political line, and have a gander at Burnham's big speech too. And, with people and animals all struggling in the heat, what of our food crops? New figures show how climate change could hurt crop yield in many parts of the country ... and benefit farmers elsewhere. Plus, what simple gadget that solves an infuriating problem do you wish had been invented? We'll be collecting the patents for the best ideas... ***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** • LIVE SHOW KLAXON!!!

B-SIDE: The Palantir Files
LIVE SHOW KLAXON!!! Get your tickets to our 30th July London appearance HERE! The tech giant Palantir, and its billionaire Trump-loving co-founder Peter Thiel, has a £330million deal with the NHS, which has set alarm bells ringing so loudly that multiple Select Committees have called for the contract to be ended at the first opportunity. MPs have warned that once the deal ends, the NHS could be left with no IP, no software and no lasting capability. Palantir has many other government deals, including with the MoD and police, and is deeply enmeshed within the systems that keep key parts of our society functioning. Naomi, Alex and Kenny are joined by regular Quiet Rioter Peter Geoghegan who, along with Lucas Amin, has just published a brilliant long read on the topic in the London Review of Books. It's an eye-opener, highlighting concerns not just about Palantir's effective lobbying operation but about its underlying software systems that have attracted widespread criticism and, in the case of the NHS, often appear to be woefully under-used. Plus, to lighten the mood, a Grin And Share It about one dog's wayward attempt to become Britain's highest hound. ***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** • Read Peter Geoghegan's illuminating Palantir exposé in the LRB • Sign up to Peter's Substack • That dog-based Grin And Share It! • We have put together a BLUESKY STARTER PACK - make like Nandy and join us there! • Email us at quietriotpod@gmail.com • Or visit our website www.quietriotpod.com Brought to you by Naomi Smith, Alex Andreou and Kenny Campbell.

The Summer of 2026
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 quietriotpod@gmail.com • Or visit our website www.quietriotpod.com Cover art based on an icon by Magnific-Flaticon Brought to you by Naomi Smith, Alex Andreou and Kenny Campbell.
