  • How Churches Invented Mass Surveillance

    An analysis of how tactics such as building churches, inventing the omnipresence of God and confessions led to the perception of mass surveillance for over a thousand years. Link in to how these tactics have now been adopted by more technologically advance governments.

  • Do Dogs Have Stockholm Syndrome?

    Sometimes things are near-impossible to explain, like this episode. The following flowchart is the best way I can sum it up.


    Do dogs have Stockholm syndrome > Do they know about death > Do we only suffer because of consciousness > Do we only exist because of consciousness > Can we prevent suffering by proving that we don't exist > If existence and therefore pain can't be avoided, can we do anything to make life better

  • Shakespeare Should Be Banned In Schools

    This episode starts with a discussion about the film Blade Runner, and slides into my outlandish ideas to improve the education system. 

    Also a quick apology for uploading an unedited version of the pod last week!

  • Feeding Cocaine To Worms

    Lol so I uploaded the unedited version, with sneezes, mistakes and silences by accident. I've deleted that now and the cleaned up version is here for your enjoyment. If you listened to the unedited version, please don't tell anyone how many mistakes I make :P 

    This podcast has been lacking weirdness recently. So, today, I explain why feeding worms cocaine would be for the betterment of society (it's a joke, don't report me to PETA). This then morphs into a more general discussion about drug use and eventually a theory about how video games, meditation, drugs and creativity are all linked.

  • Почему я не говорю по-русски (Why I Don't Speak Russian)

    The news is full of Winston Churchill this week. So, this podcast is about how Winston Churchill is responsible for the fact that this podcast isn't in Russian. It's a history episode about how the British and the Americans had no impact on the result of the second world war. Enjoy! 



    **This episode contains a factual inaccuracy. Operation Mincemeat was actually for the invasion of Italy, not France.

  • Shooting From The Hip

    I'm on holiday, so recorded the podcast while chilling out admiring a view. It is purely off the cuff and unresearched. Topics include whether or not centipedes are left handed, whether your bio-cyborg security guard could beat you at chess and how shouting louder could influence elections.

    I was interrupted a lot, so it stops and starts but hopefully it'll be a pleasurable enough listen.

  • The Sun

    This week's podcast is just a general meandering rant/discussion about the firey thing in the sky that keeps us warm. Its a nice, short episode, which won't take up too much of your day. There's an unexpected interruption and if you stick around, you can listen to me eating toast.

  • Old Metaphors For Modern Problems

    An 1800s novel predicted ISIS. Peter Pan binges avocados. Charlie Chaplin thought that people on social media need to tone it down.

About Alfology2

From the publisher's feed

The Alfology2 podcast is an irreverent and off-beat take on well... pretty much anything. Mostly it's the discussion of bizarre and obscure theories, with some logical attempt to explain the thinking behind them.
