I’m re-joined in the ring by Daniel ‘Rasheed’ Tilton for the first ever ‘Round-Up’ where we catch up on what’s happened in our lives and in society, doing our best to unbox what on earth is going on...
We start off by talking about the relatively new ‘Information War’ phenomenon, bought about by new platforms such as YouTube allowing anyone with a camera to publish their own independent research, offering new and contrasting narratives to the ‘mainstream’ media. In times of extreme polarisation, policies around freedom of speech are being put under the microscope and whilst we believe it can be beneficial to entertain these alternate perspectives, our ability to discern between crazy and credible information is of all-time importance.
We then go onto discuss how this relates to the two most relevant topics of 2020: the Covid Pandemic (including an unlikely starring role for Pangolins) and the BLM movement, making for a very fitting start to what hopefully will be a more regular series going forward!
