    Ep 100 - Is AI Becoming a New Religion?

    In episode 100 of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong), Josh and Sean discuss their love for award winning television show, Hacks. The pair discuss what appeals to them about the dark comedy while sharing praise for the iconic cast including Jean Smart, Megan Stalter, and Paul W. Downs.  The pair also discuss the ups and downs of air travel, from economy seating not suitable for larger people through to vegan meal requests that go ignored. How easy is it to travel as a vegan in 2026? Sean also reports back on the vegan food scene in Tokyo, while Josh remembers his culinary adventures from a recent trip to Barcelona. This episode also touches on AI. The topic has been discussed a lot by the pair however artificial intelligence and its impact on our lives doesn’t seem to be going away. Is AI a new form of religion? Are people relying on it too much? Does it stop critical thinking skills from developing in humans? As always, we have none of the answers but lots of opinions.

    Ep 98 - Frida Kahlo: Talent Vs Fame

    In this latest episode of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong), Josh and Sean discuss the cultural legacy of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo ahead of a new opening of her work at the Tate in London. What is it about her art or perceived personality that still generates such infamy, decades after her death? The pair also discuss whether a disconnect exists between the influx of new members to the Green Party and what the political party actually advocates for. Are people throwing their support behind the Greens for single issues and, if so, is that a problem? And could Labour’s Andy Burnham actually turn out to be a progressive leader who pushes inclusive agendas? This episode also includes a bit of comic relief as Josh and Sean ask each other questions from the official Life in the UK test. Do they have what it takes to prove their Britishness?

    Ep 97 - Are Computers Taking Over The World?

    In this latest episode of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong), Josh and Sean discuss the marketing efforts of superstar singer Madonna ahead of the release of her new album, Confessions II.

The pair discuss the rising number of young people classed as NEET in the UK. There are more 1 million young people who are not in education, employment, or training and that is a record breaking figure. Sean and Josh speak on the condescending tone of politicians and pundits who look at this situation through a narrow and unhelpful lens. This episode also touches on the rise of AI and automation across most industries and how these changes are impacting the prospects of young workers, the security of working class people, and the rapidly rising wealth of the elite class.
