Cutting through the Bull in the Post-Truth Apocalypse

Episode 13 - 1977 Southern Television Broadcast Interruption


Listen Later

A lapsed quasi-satanist, a self-proclaimed science buff (with only a GCSE grade B in Physics) and a drug-addled lunatic attempt to navigate the irradiated wastelands and shit-hills of ignorance that is the Post-Truth Apocalypse. A smorgasbord of colourful language, drunken ramblings and the occasional "fact". Fact. Hosted by Ben, Gaz and Mike.
This week, the guys dissect the 1977 Southern Television Broadcast Interruption. Did the people of Kent receive an alien message from the Intergalactic Council of Light in between a news bulletin and a Looney Tunes episode? Is the path to peace and galactic unity giving up all our weapons of mass destruction or was this the work of a technically astute hoaxer? Is this the dawning of the Age of Aquarius? What was the actual message Vrillion preached and how was it received in the zeitgeist?
Also discussed, Steven Segal's cartoon hair, the Max Headroom broadcast interruption, the birth of the Ralians from the mind of a French racing car driver, Gaz reveals his recent faith healing incident with a group of radicalised Christians and Mike announces his plans to leave society and join an X-rated Unicorn cult.
