Episode 20: Noah, Cosmos, #sealfies, and Leigh Phillips with a left defence of GMOs

In this month’s extended installment of the podcast, we begin by taking a field trip to a corporate chain movie theatre to watch better-than-average Hollywood slop in the form of Darren Aronofsky’s Noah . Then we take a field trip to our houses to watch better-than-everything sciencey television in the form of Cosmos . Next, our interview guest – science writer and EU affairs journalist Leigh Phillips ( @leigh_phillips ) – joins us to mount a leftist defence of genetically-modified food. Lastly, we review some listener feedback, and discuss the Inuit campaign (and the Canadian government’s success in conflating the commercial and subsistence seal hunts to its own shit-mouthed benefit.)
