Rafe brings the stats on growth of the EV market and paralells to the smartphone industry we've tracked for the life of 361. Ben recounts his experiences as a first-time EV owner and the planning the purchase of a second. The team also talk about how the arrival of EV cars has made them re-evaluate which brands are 'best'. Get in touch! Let us...2023-12-241h 07

361 PodcastMobile networks (are they good yet?) [S21E05]This week the team go back to their roots and talk about mobile networks: Ewan is deeply underwhelmed with the offerings of the UK's mobile network operators, having spent time living and working around Europe and the Middle East. He's especially unimpressed with network availability on major transport links, having had almost-ubiquitous access to 5G coverage in the places he worked and travelled. Rafe's got some OFCOM data (because of course) that suggests things aren't as bad as Ewan thinks. He also notes that there are some rural areas with good 5G coverage, so people's...2023-11-141h 05

361 PodcastSocial Media in 2023 [S21E03]This week the team consider that we might be at the "money ruins everything" stage of social media (eh, Reddit?). Rafe speculates that 'social' media is now driven more by advertising than friendship groups. We also talk about 'dark social', rafeblandford.com (Rafe's personal website) and remember Jaiku. Ben re-tells the 'Nazi Bar' story often cited as an example of how 'unmoderated' speech excludes people and isn't really 'free'. We use: Ewan: LinkedIn and BeReal. Rafe: Reddit, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok (but only in read-only). Ben: Reddit, LinkedIn (grudgingly), Instagram (even more grudingly) and Mastodon (in...2023-09-031h 10

Never Say Die!9. Stand By Me (1986)It's Rafe's turn to have a nostalgia pick with this month's selection, Stand By Me. Despite Rafe's skepticism about whether this would make a good pick or not (including an early apology), Rafe and Drew really dig in and find quite a bit to like, both about the movie and about gaming ideas that can come from the film, thus proving not every "nostalgia pick" has to be a bad selection for use at the gaming table. There's a lot of talk on here about storytelling and we'd love to know what storytelling systems you like beyond t...2023-04-031h 31

This selection is unlike any of those others! Short Term 12 is a solid, rather harrowing drama - a far cry from the genre selections Thomas has brought before. It also may very well be Rafe's favorite movie that he's discovered through his own podcast, and a film that Rafe found a very deep emotional connection to.

Join Rafe with returning guest Joe McDonnell, who picked the dark, gritty, David Fincher-directed Se7en as his next film for discussion. Why didn't Rafe want to watch it?
