In this episode Shannon takes us through an abridged reading of Plato's Republic, this will be a multi parter, but we have fun digging into Plato's crazy eugenics and colourised caste system full of censorship and sex lotteries.

We do a very rough and overarching look into the idea of a global single currency. What might be the advantage and why might we do it?

In this episode we look at a successful instance of international cooperation, as Carla takes us through the curing and wiping out of Smallpox. Made all the more astounding because it was done during the height of the Cold War in the late 1960's and 70's.
