117 – WHY IS EVERYTHING SO SH*T?!

This week we're breaking down private equity and asset stripping, how a firm can buy a company using almost none of its own money, saddle that company with the debt, sell the land out from under it, charge it rent on its own building, drain the pension pot, and walk away richer while everyone who worked there loses everything.

Also: Kendal Calling and the family with the lucky Baby Bell, why Nolan films are getting too loud, Jamie Oliver banning chewing gum, supermarkets changing prices in real time, and whether you were a Teletubbies real-world-segment kid or not.
