  • 59: Bride Trafficking

    In this episode we will be discussing the very precarious demographic issue in China but we will be focussing in some of the end results of that. We will be talking about how the one child policy has changed the face of the country as well as the behaviour of men and women in society. We also touch on a disturbing viral story that is thought to be a result of human trafficking and how communist run countries create hollow societies.

  • 58: Heart Attack Gun

    In this episode we will be discussing the infamous heart attack gun, how it was created and a list of high profile deaths it may have been connected to.

  • 55: Human To Cyborg

    In this episode we will be discussing transhumanism and how this directly links to a post human era. The fusion of man and machine is highly anticipated as the technology becomes available for humans to become an upgraded version of themselves. Are we being too hasty as we potentially severe ourselves from nature in the pursuit of becoming bigger and better?  How will data protection also change once your data is inside your body?
