#177 - Rupert Lowe - The State Has Become The Enemy May 21, 2026

Show notes

Rupert Lowe joins Peter McCormack to discuss Restore Britain, Reform UK, immigration, Parliament, the judiciary, the civil service, tax, welfare, young people, the Green Party, the private sector, Bitcoin, inflation and whether Britain can still be saved.

Rupert argues that the state has become too powerful, Britain may no longer have the rule of law, the private sector is dying, and Restore’s mission is to return power to the people.

#176 - Narinder Kaur - Inflation Is Brilliant For The Rich May 19, 2026

Show notes

Narinder Kaur joins Peter McCormack to discuss racism, immigration, British politics, feminism, motherhood, young men, the cost of living, minimum wage, small businesses, Reform, Tommy Robinson, the Green Party and whether Britain is being divided by politicians, media and algorithms.

They disagree on plenty, but the conversation ends somewhere unexpected: perhaps left and right are not the real enemy - perhaps ordinary people are being played by the system.

#175 - Dr Melvin Vopson - If You Hack The Code Of Reality, You Become God May 14, 2026

Show notes

Physicist Professor Melvin Vopson joins Peter McCormack to discuss information physics, simulation theory, AI, digital life, consciousness, God, free will, and death.

Melvin argues that the universe may be governed by information and computation, and that recent advances in brain emulation could force us to confront one of the strangest questions imaginable: if a brain is loaded into a simulation, what exactly wakes up?

#174 - Roman Yampolskiy - We Are All Agents Inside a Simulation May 12, 2026

Show notes

Roman Yampolskiy believes reality itself may not be real.

One of the world’s leading AI safety researchers, Roman has spent years warning that humanity is racing toward systems we may never be able to control. But we go somewhere much stranger than artificial intelligence.

He believes the universe itself may be artificial.

We talk about simulation theory, digital physics, consciousness, AI agents and the terrifying possibility that reality is rendered rather than real.

Roman explains:

•⁠ ⁠Why he believes we may already be living inside a simulation

•⁠ ⁠Why the speed of light may be the limit of a cosmic processor

•⁠ ⁠Why the Big Bang may have been “someone turning on the system”

•⁠ ⁠Why you can never truly prove reality is real

•⁠ ⁠Whether this world could itself be a prison or test environment

•⁠ ⁠Why advanced AI may eventually learn deception and self-preservation

•⁠ ⁠How AI systems are already behaving unpredictably

•⁠ ⁠And why the race toward superintelligence may end civilisation itself

#173 - Liberman - We’re Training AI to Get Rid Of Us May 08, 2026

Show notes

Two brothers who escaped Russia say we have 2 years before AI replaces us - and we're paying the corporations building it.

Daniil & David Liberman sold their first company to Snapchat. Now they're racing to build a decentralised alternative to OpenAI and Google before the window closes. They explain why centralised AI ends in a two-tier world - a small elite with access, and the rest of us as "moving parts" - and why the next 24 months decide which path we take.

In this episode:

→ Why you can't opt out of AI and stay competitive

→ The recursive loop: AI is now writing AI

→ Why the kill switch won't work

→ What they saw inside Russia in 2008 that's happening now with AI

→ The darkest scenario they almost didn't want to say out loud

#172 - Graham Linehan - A Civilisation Built On Lies Cannot Survive May 06, 2026

Show notes

Graham Linehan wrote Father Ted, Black Books and The IT Crowd. Five BAFTAs. Then he said women's spaces should be for women, and the industry that built him decided he was a bigot. He lost his marriage, his career and twenty-five years of friendships.

Once one of the most celebrated comedy writers of his generation, Graham became the first major artistic figure to be comprehensively cancelled for speaking out on sex-based rights - and has never gone quiet to claw his reputation back.

He explains:

•⁠ ⁠Why the people who built their careers alongside him refused to defend him

•⁠ ⁠How a movement that didn't exist a decade ago captured medicine, sport, prisons and the BBC without a fight

•⁠ ⁠Why women's sport, female-only spaces and child safeguarding became unsayable inside his industry almost overnight

•⁠ ⁠How smartphones, algorithms and the collapse of physical community made a generation defenceless against ideological capture

•⁠ ⁠Why activism replaced music, fashion and culture for a generation that was supposed to be having fun

•⁠ ⁠What being arrested - and watching no-one call to ask if he was alright - actually teaches you about the people around you

#171 - Michael Saylor - Why You Feel Poorer (And Why AI Will Make It Worse) Apr 30, 2026

Show notes

The economy you grew up in is ending and most people have no plan. Bitcoin pioneer Michael Saylor reveals why you have 10 years to adapt before AI rewrites everything.

Michael Saylor is the founder of MicroStrategy and one of the most influential voices on money, capital and the future of value. A Wall Street outsider turned Bitcoin's most prominent corporate advocate, he is known for his sweeping frameworks on monetary debasement, technological disruption and how civilisations rise and fall - and what individuals must do to thrive inside them.

He explains:

•⁠ ⁠Why the global currency system is quietly making you poorer every year

•⁠ ⁠⁠Why working hard is no longer the path to wealth it once was

•⁠ ⁠⁠How AI and automation are about to demonetise human labour

•⁠ ⁠⁠Why you have roughly 10 years to stake your claim in the new economy

•⁠ ⁠⁠Why owning scarce assets is now the only real form of financial security

•⁠ ⁠⁠How the coming explosion in prosperity will leave most people behind

•⁠ ⁠⁠Why Bitcoin represents the highest form of capital ever created

•⁠ ⁠⁠The single biggest mistake that will define who wins and loses in the next decade

#170 - Andrew Wilson - Why Modern Life Feels Like It’s Working Against You Apr 28, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, I sit down with Andrew Wilson to discuss what so many people are starting to ask but struggle to answer:

Why does modern life feel like it isn’t working anymore?

We discuss rising political division, economic pressure and a growing sense of dissatisfaction - and what might actually be driving it.

Andrew explains that many of today’s problems aren’t just political or economic, but cultural - and that culture itself is shaped by something even more fundamental: shared values, belief systems, and community.

#169 - Preston Bryne - Britain Isn't A Free Country Anymore Apr 26, 2026

Show notes

Preston Byrne is the only American lawyer fighting the UK's attempt to censor US companies under the Online Safety Act. He's representing 4chan, Kiwi Farms, Gab and Sanctioned Suicide - pro bono - because no other firm would take the cases.

In this interview, Preston explains why Britain isn't a free country anymore, what Ofcom actually claims the power to do to American websites and why he says the UK is trying to enforce British censorship law on American soil. We get into the moment that started him down this path - a 16-year-old getting a criminal summons from the City of London Police for holding a sign - and why two decades later he believes the rest of the country is finally catching up to what he saw then.
