The Fab 2

This week James and Toby open the discussion with James’ recent gig in Dorset and the division in towns like Bridport and Totnes between the woke and the awake, particularly over traffic calming measures like LTNs, Ulez schemes and 15-minute cities. They go on to talk about Yuval Harari’s calling for ‘conspiracy theorists’ to be banned from the internet and Toby ask James to respond to Harari’s claim that many conspiracy theories, particularly those that blame the world’s problems on an elite cabal of billionaires and their acolytes, have an antisemitic component and that leads to a bigger argument about whether James’s conspiracy theory about the ‘death jabs,' Paul McCartney and 'manufactured' bands. In Culture Corner, Toby heaps praise on They Cloned Tyrone , a new sci-fi conspiracy thriller (Netflix) and Lioness , the new Taylor Sheridan series (Paramount+), while James enthuses about Kohrra , an Indian police procedural (Netflix.) This week's opening sound is Yuval Noah Harari's appearance on The Lex Fridman Podcast .
