Should all serious crimes be tried by a jury? With Geoffrey Robertson KC

The government is considering dropping juries for certain criminal cases in an attempt to reduce court backlogs. Will this move undermine British justice? In this bumper episode, host Tamara Kormornick speaks to a vocal opponent to the plans, Geoffrey Robertson KC, former judge and founder of Doughty Street Chambers, where Keir Starmer, David Lammy and Attorney General Richard Herman have all practised. She also hears from criminal barrister and Vice Chair of the Criminal Bar Association, Andrew Thomas KC, who both prosecutes and defends for the Crown, for his view on whether the British justice system needs as many juries.

Michael Pollan on Consciousness, Psychedelics and the Fight for Free Thought

For Episode Nine, Evgeny is joined by Michael Pollan, journalist, author, and one of the leading voices exploring the human mind. Drawing on his new book A World Appears, Pollan makes an impassioned case for consciousness as something precious, private, and increasingly under threat. Together, they explore how social media and AI are not just competing for our attention, but beginning to shape attachment, emotion, and even our sense of self. The conversation ranges from chatbots and “AI psychosis” to meditation, psychedelics, and the idea of “consciousness hygiene” - the habits and practices that might help us protect our inner lives. Pollan also reflects on why writing is a form of thinking, why boredom and mind-wandering matter, and how experiences of ego dissolution, art, and nature can deepen our understanding of consciousness. The episode ends on a wider question: whether the real challenge is not only understanding consciousness, but learning how to practise it. This episode was produced by Message Heard and The Standard. Producer: Florence de Schlichting Production Coordinator: James Cox Production Manager: Kirsty McLean Video Editor: Nani Wenani The Standard team: Joe Bromley Will Rogers-Coltman Hosted on Acast.

Starmer summons TikTok & Meta to No.10, cancer drugs go “off-label” (properly), and Microsoft Patch Tuesday is massive

Al’s on with a quick commute sprint: Downing Street drags TikTok, Meta, X and mates into No.10 to talk kids’ online safety — because infinite scroll isn’t exactly a public service. Then a genuinely hopeful medical headline: a major trial looks at using existing targeted cancer drugs “off label”, guided by tumour genetics, with actual evidence and guardrails. After the break, it’s Patch Tuesday chaos — 167 Microsoft fixes including zero-days — so yes, you’re updating today. And in gaming, Animal Crossing quietly drops a 25th anniversary gift that politely reminds you the GameCube was… a while ago.
