Cutting through the Bull in the Post-Truth Apocalypse

Episode 34.5 - Aum Shinrikyo (Japanese Death Cult) Part II


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 dung-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 conclude their epic journey into the minds and motives of the Japanese death cult Aum Shinrikyo. They examine the 1995 sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway system, the profiles of the top cult members, the death toll left in the cult's wake, and the effect of the attack on the national psyche.
Also, the God helmet, the man on death row who ate a bible for his last meal, how Trump is saving us from a rogue AI hell-bent on a post-human world, the universe is an egg and the moon isn't real according to the Flat Earth Society, and the lads bait Ben with clown reggae.
