  • The Class of 2020: The Graduation That Never Was

    Due to Covid-19 universities have ended their third terms all over the world, lost memories, missed experiences and a feeling of disappointment has summed up the outcome from this. So join me and Evianne Suen as we explore these emotions, expanding on her fantastic article a letter to the class of 2020 (link below). In this interview we cover the role that hope played in building up to the end of the class of 2020's final year, coping with the bitterness of this loss and finally the potential for these students completing their own stories. There are many people who the thought of graduation got them through this year, and with these events I hope this video can help those who are hurt by this to process this loss, and continue to move forward.

  • Coronavirus and Capitalism: A Discussion

    Sorry about the poor audio in this episode, theres some difficulties in recording over the phone however I hope you can still enjoy! In this episode of dutiful future I alongside August discuss how Covid-19 or coronavirus impacts and exposes various different weaknesses and issues of capitalism, everything from healthcare, to inequality to Gwyneth Paltroe buying up luxury artisanal face masks. And then following from this we discuss how anti-capitalist rhetoric has been increasing across the political spectrum, looking in particular and the strange and growing allegiance between social and/or cultural conservatism and anti capitalist, more left leaning policies. 

    I hope you enjoy this quarantine/anti-capitalist special of dutiful future!

  • The Difficulties of Dating and Politics

    This week I'm joined by the fantastic Anna Donaghue as we discuss the issues of the increasing role of politics in dating. In a world where people have started to sacrifice chemistry for alignment of policy positions how can dating gaps be overcome? And do they actually need to be overcome in the first place? Should political opinions matter in dating and friendships? Or should we try and look past these issues? What are the major issues people consider when dating a partner? And why is it that 6% of people in the USA said they wouldn't date someone who disagreed with them on government spending?
