  • George TheTinMen - What are the issues that men face?

    From mental health to the effects of fatherlessness, the concerns of men and boys are genuine, yet have often been lost in a storm of calls of misogyny and claims of a patriarchal society. 

    I speak to George TheTinMen to discuss for nuance and thoughtful discussion on the issues men face, solutions to how the issues men face can be resolved and his thoughts on the manosphere.

  • Kayla Henry - "We have to create our own opportunities"

    Kayla Henry is a Canadian poet, musician and actress.

    The number of artists and creators that are cancelled or are censoring themselves because of the fear of a backlash seems to increase with every passing week. 

    Kayla is an artist who is uncompromising in what she wants to create and the message she wants to convey through her art. She has done this by self-publishing and self-promoting her work. 

    In this interview, we discuss whether more artists should create and promote their work independently, the dangers of self-censoring in art and supporting Canadian truckers during the pandemic.

  • Paul Bernal - 'The Internet is not the wild west it's portrayed as'

    Paul Bernal is a lecturer in Information Technology, Intellectual Property and Media Law at the University of East Anglia Law School. 

    The internet has been seen by many as a pit of unregulated and nefarious goings on. To this end, the UK government have published the Online Safety Bill, which they say will protect children and adults online, as well as make social media companies more responsible for their users’ safety.  Yet this bill is not without controversy, particularly around who will enforce the bill, free speech and privacy.

    I discuss with Paul the details of the Online Safety Bill and what it means in practice the day before the bill is due to be read in the House of Lords for its third and final reading, in the House of Lords.

  • Sandy Starr - "We should be able to assess one's another humanity"

    Sandy Starr is deputy director of the Progress Educational Trust (PET), a charity that improves choices for people affected by infertility and genetic conditions.

    The impact of artificial intelligence on individuals and society has become more visible over the last year. Although it is a subject that has been discussed at length this year, the timeline of how we came to this point can be traced back to the 19th century.

    In this interview with Sandy, we discuss the effect AI has had on people and the world at large, people's fear of how it could develop and how it could be a signal that humanity has to strive to be better than it currently is.
