    Conspiracies, freedom and Casablanca

    A double-americano-with-a-cinnamon-bun of a podcast / audiosnack. I'm joined by John Shiel and we tackle conspiracies, fake news, the difference between left and right (and their shortcomings in political communication) as well as discussing duplicate Popes, Casablanca, Trump and drinking at lunchtime. The overall themes are unclear!

    Errors by design

    The  coronavirus pandemic has brought questions around testing, and now with the tracing app, algorithm design to a strategic and political audience. In this podcast I look at the fact that ‘errors’ are part of everyday life in testing and apps; and that tests and algorithms are designed by someone to minimise certain errors in a trade-off with others. But rhetoric often focuses on reducing errors rather than seeking a desirable balanced position.
