Description

In this week’s podcast, Ayesha Hazarika is joined by Jamie Bartlett, author of The People Vs Tech, The Dark Net and Radicals, and Oliver Bullough, author of Moneyland, to discuss stories they think are under-reported by the mainstream media.

Jamie highlights how social media is making us all adopt a fascist style of politics, and Oliver looks at the history of offshoring and how London became an enabler of global corruption.

The panel nominate Serena Williams as their hero of the week, and Jacob Rees Mogg and the European Research Group as their villains. Listen here to find out why.
