    The Ukrainian Drone Pilot

    An extraordinary episode this week in which we hear from “Lito”, a Ukrainian drone pilot on the front line in the war fighting the Russian invasion. We hear his extraordinary personal story of joining up, of daily life in the front line, and how all those years playing video games turned out not to be a waste of time after all. He also gives fascinating insights into Ukraine’s long-term plight, his frustration at the lack of tangible Western support, and the consequences should the West continue to fail to stem Putin’s murderous war of aggression.    aarballs2023@gmail.com https://www.instagram.com/aarballs/ http://www.youtube.com/@Aarballs https://open.spotify.com/show/7tUlryttCVAetrw6uB15qo https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/aarballs/id1742336735 https://www.podbean.com/podcast-detail/yk2ih-2ec871/AarBalls-Podcast Hosted on Acast.

    The Climate Change Warrior

    Pallavi Sethi is a Policy Fellow at the Grantham Institute, part of the London School of Economics which focuses on climate change and the environment. Her work centres around trying to combat the misinformation and lies which attempt to undermine the science of environmental crisis. We chat to Pallavi about what drives media such as The Daily Mail, Daily Telegraph and The Sun to peddle lies and undermine scientific consensus, and whether the likes of Farage et al. actually believe what they say. Pallavi explains the difference between misinformation and disinformation and we discuss what, if anything, can be done when people we know disappear down conspiracy rabbit holes.

    The Makeup Artist

    From early days with Bros, to working with many of the biggest names in music, Kate Strong worked as a make-up artist to the stars for 24 years. The list of artists she worked with is far too insanely long to list here but includes The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Dire Straits, Oasis, INXS, Billy Joel, New Kids on The Block, Peter Gabriel, Radiohead, Depeche Mode, Sheryl Crow and Mel Gibson (!) We hear of which pop superstar was a decent sort and which was an utter arse, as well as whose guitar you must never touch, rock legend golf, and The Shaun Ryder incident.  aarballs2023@gmail.com https://www.instagram.com/aarballs/ http://www.youtube.com/@Aarballs https://open.spotify.com/show/7tUlryttCVAetrw6uB15qo https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/aarballs/id1742336735 https://www.podbean.com/podcast-detail/yk2ih-2ec871/AarBalls-Podcast Hosted on Acast.
