Why Is Wikipedia Broken? - Dr Larry Sanger - #118 Nov 07, 2019

Show notes

Dr Larry Sanger is the ex-founder of Wikipedia.

Wikipedia is almost a public utility now, like water or energy. It's one of the most visited sites on the internet and provides millions with information every day.

But all might not be as pure as it seems and the utopia of the world's biggest encyclopaedia may have some fundamental flaws. Today we hear from one of the initial members of the project as he explains why Wikipedia is so messed up.

The Future Of Virtual Reality - Dr Sarah Jones - #110 Oct 10, 2019

Show notes

Dr Sarah Jones is an immersive storyteller using AR, VR and 360.

For the last 50 years or so, storytelling hasn't massively changed its form, but with the advent of increasingly portable devices, the platforms we use are all changing.

How will Virtual Reality enable us to tell stories in a new way? Should we be worried about the control that these technologies could have over us? Are sci-fi predictions about holographic humans realistic?

The Price Of Thinking Out Loud - Douglas Murray - #109 Oct 07, 2019

Show notes

Douglas Murray is a journalist, author and an associate editor of The Spectator.

What is the price of thinking out loud about the most inflammatory topics of our age? Gay, Women, Race & Trans make up the four chapters of The Madness Of Crowds and today Douglas jumps feet first into all of them.

Expect to learn which chapters Douglas could have added to the book but didn’t, how the LGBTQ community are less united than you may think, why we should be skeptical about the number of gay stories in the press, why Piers Morgan seems to be in the middle of so many controversies, what Douglas thinks about Nicki Minaj shaking her butt in everyone's face and why the demands of men by women may be totally unrealistic.
