Poorly Informed episodes

  • A Game of Drones (What if we were in charge?)
    Poorly Informed’s Season 1 send-off has everything you could want from Theo, Max, Will and Peter.
    There’s humour, debate, space exploration, genocide and sparkling water, as the four put forward their plans for global domination. It’s a mess.
    Enjoy this last episode from us - until Season 2 in summer.

  • ‘What did it cost?’ ‘Everything.’ (Sacrifices for climate change?)
    Will is back to host a clash of ideals: should we sacrifice opportunity now, and stop climate change in the future? Or do we keep our Co2-guzzling societies, but encourage a future ecological disaster?
    Theo, Max and Peter grapple with these questions...and a lot else besides.
    Enjoy the penultimate episode of Poorly Informed, Season 1.

  • The Laws for War (How far can we go in war?)
    Max hosts a discussion over how far we should go to achieve military victory. Peter and Theo have an argument over nuclear weapons (there’s quite a fall out). Will stays away on holiday.
    At least we can all agree that war is bad.
    Enjoy.

  • Desert Island Disctators (Us, historical figures, desert island)
    — It’s our twenty-fifth episode! Big thanks for listening to the Poorly Informed Podcast; we really appreciate your support. —
    Imagine Desert Island Discs, but with historical figures instead of music. And a bunch of guys who don’t know what they’re doing. 
    Will, Peter, Max, and Theo choose the people they’d want to be stranded with on a forsaken island. There may or may not be cannibalism. 
    Enjoy.

  • One of us is lying... (Capitalism vs. Socialism)
    For the second part of this two-part series, Theo, Max, Will and Peter debate a resurgent issue: the merits of capitalism versus the merits of socialism. Big questions lie ahead: which economic system is better?; which model benefits the people more?; and who of us might actually be telling a truth?
    With our usual regard for fact and precision, Poorly Informed tackle one of the enduring questions of modern history, and nearly make it entertaining.
    Enjoy.

  • Space Invaders! (Human and alien relations)
    The 'alien invasion' scenario is flipped on its head as Theo, Max, Will and Peter consider: what if humans find the aliens first? 
    More particularly: what if they were still primitive; or about to exterminate themselves? Do we help... or do we stay away? 
    Enjoy.

  • For God so loved(?) the world... (Religion in history: good or bad?)
    How do you solve a problem like religion in history? How do you take this topic and pin it down?
    Theo, Will, Max and Peter decide to debate religion’s impact on history; they will push the boundaries with an argument that challenges both the religious and the non-religious, discussing statistics, events and historical issues at a level rarely before seen on Poorly Informed.
    Enjoy.

  • TIG - Slightly More Informed
    Drama! Backstabbing! Intrigue! It's all happening in Parliament, as The Independent Group (TIG) pulls Labour and Conservative MPs together and forms a new political group! 
    So, naturally, Max, Theo, Peter and Will got together to discuss the causes, importance and consequences of TIG on British politics. 
    Enjoy.

About Poorly Informed

From the publisher's feed

This was the Poorly Informed podcast. Our commitment to you was to provide lively debate with a true and sincere spirit that helped you (and us) to learn more. We did that for six years. We recorded through Brexit and Covid. We hope you were a little less poorly informed for listening to us.
