    S06 EP9: The Future of Life After Oil

    E9: The Future of Life After Oil Conflict rages in the Gulf, fossil fuel enthusiasts demand more drilling in the North Sea, and oil companies make billions whilst everyone else gets bled financially dry…surely there must be life after oil? The boys are joined by Jo Alexander and Samantha Cooper, both ex-BP to talk about their experiences in the heart of big oil, what made them finally leave (in Jo’s case twice!) and their message to former colleagues and friends. There is life after oil and we all need to realise that sooner rather than later. https://lifeafteroil.net/ And for tickets to the next live show here! Learn more about your ad choices.

    S06 EP8: The Future of Juries

    Jon, Ed & Mark are joined by Flora Page KC, a leading barrister who represented wrongly accused subpostmasters in the Post Office Horizon IT scandal to talk about the future of juries - the beating heart of the UK criminal justice system, that the Government seems hellbent on destroying, deliberately. A challenge beyond politics, the right to a trial by a diverse group of your peers is an eight hundred year old tradition going back to Magna Carta, and provides the last defence against State-led authoritarianism and tyranny. An essential listen for anyone who cares about justice, we explore why axing juries won't cut the scandalous 80,000 cases court backlog, whether Labour MPs who are lawyers and supporting the legislation should be charged with professional malpractice and why the absence of a 'sunset clause' in the legislation reveals the Government's true malintent.

Join us for the usual uplifting and inspiring conversation as we explore the legal origins of ecocide and where next. Also includes the normal irresponsible humour and hijinks.
