    Obama says aliens are real. What more does he know?

    Barack Obama set the internet alight when he declared on a podcast that aliens are “real”. However, the former US president later insisted that, while in office, he saw no evidence of this and that he was just answering a speed round question. Once the preserve of late-night radio and fringe forums, UFOs are now discussed in Congress, scrutinised by the Pentagon and casually referenced by presidential hopefuls. Alex von Tunzelmann separates fact from fantasy with Andy McGrillen, author of Atlas of Unidentified Flying Objects and host of That UFO Podcast to find out what’s the difference between serious scientific inquiry and full-blown conspiracy culture? • Buy Andy’s book Atlas of Unidentified Flying Objects and Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena through our affiliate bookshop and you’ll be helping the podcast by earning us a small commission for every sale.

    China's military crisis – Is Beijing's army on the brink of collapse?

    The sudden ousting of two of China’s top military leaders has sparked intense speculation about what it says about Xi Jinping’s grip on power. From Mao to today, the Chinese Communist Party has repeatedly removed senior figures accused of corruption, incompetence, or simply becoming inconvenient. What’s going on this time? Today on The Bunker, Gavin Esler is joined by Daria Impiombato, Senior Analyst at the Mercator Institute for China Studies, joins us to unpack it all. www.patreon.com/bunkercast  Written and presented by Gavin Esler.

    No jobs, what now? – Are we ready for a world without work?

    Artificial intelligence is chewing through the economy, wiping out manual work and supposedly safe professional jobs alike. Are politicians’ promises that A.I. will create new, better jobs to replace the ones it destroys hollow? How will we handle a world with drastically fewer jobs? Will it be an Oscar Wilde paradise or a Matrix nightmare? And did the Luddites have a point after all? Economic analyst and author of A World Without Work Daniel Susskind meets Andrew Harrison at the New Claims window.  • Buy A World Without Work through our affiliate bookshop and you’ll help fund the podcast by earning us a small commission for every sale.

    Is the Russian military really as powerful as we’re told?

    The Russian army invading Ukraine today is very different to the one which started the conflict. How are things going for Putin’s military – and how can Ukraine and Europe push back against them?
