Joining the conversation today is Jakob Foerster; an artificial intelligence expert who recently helped develop a machine that solved the notoriously difficult ‘100 hat riddle’ used by Google and Goldman Sachs to weed out the highest calibre candidates during interviews . The neural network had to first figure out a way of communicating with other AIs before going on to solve the problem –Jakob explains that this is ‘basically a first step toward having machines that can communicate and collaborate’. Despite these achievements Jakob maintains a level head about the near future believing humans will continue to rule the machines for a while yet. This is a refreshing position given the recent warning issued by Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk that we may be near to creating something so powerful it cannot be controlled. Regardless of which future awaits us Jakob provides a fascinating insight into how artificial intelligence is already here and controlling everything from vehicles to the stock market and may very soon be creating music more emotional and beautiful than anything we can conceive of today.

Joining the conversation today is Paul Hannaford: Ex high-ranking member of the ‘East London Gang’. In his teens/early 20s Paul was suited and booted wearing a £9k Rolex w/ personal driver. However, like a protagonist from a classic gangster movie, he experienced a ‘fall from grace’. After years addicted to crack cocaine and heroin, he began robbing drug dealers at gunpoint. Death by the drugs, septicemia, or by those dealers was one step away... Now clean for over 9 years, Paul talks to school children about the real dangers of drugs, alcohol, knife crime, gangs and guns. His workshops are inspirational but hard-hitting. In this ‘you can ask me anything’ podcast we open the doors to the London underworld. Links: www.paulhannaford.com/

It's hard to sum this one up, we touch on everything from crazy drug deals and mafia hit-men to prison survival and self-vasectomies. All this, in and around Shaun's current areas of interest - The war on drugs, and 'Making a Murderer'. Seriously. You need to listen to this!

Joining the conversation is Breakup Coach and Writer Laura Yates. We covered the big ones - Version 3.0 of both dating and long term relationships. It. Gets. Deep, guys. ...Seriously. Turning 30 and facing the usual social pressures and mounting expectations, coupled with internal and personal changes (Seriously, It’s like a second puberty!) But we aren’t convinced that the big 3-0 means all that it used to! www.laurayates.org www.podcastldn.com

Turning 30 and facing the usual social pressures and mounting expectations, coupled with internal and personal changes (Seriously, It’s like a second puberty!) But we aren’t convinced that the big 3-0 means all that it used to. We explore the idea of approaching V3.0 of ourselves. How it’s affecting our friends, life, and the world we live in. Problem is…we’re nobodies. So, to spice things up we invite interesting guests to share their experiences too - Professionals, experts, comedians, and anyone we find interesting. We want to know when they hit their ‘flow’, how they figured out life, when they became an ‘adult’ …and if they even achieved any of that! In short - should we start panicking??
