From misinformation and bias to platform power and ethics, this episode looks at media through a critical, tech-focused lens. It’s an honest conversation about what Media Studies is actually like, how technology controls what we see online, and why understanding media has never mattered more.

    Inside ASML - The Company That Powers AI

    We all know the big names in artificial intelligence — OpenAI, Google, Nvidia — but behind every chip, every GPU, every AI model, there’s one company quietly powering it all. That company is ASML, a Dutch powerhouse that builds the world’s most advanced machines — devices so precise and so complex that without them, the modern tech world would simply stop functioning. In this episode, we dive into how ASML went from a small workshop in the Netherlands to becoming the single most important company in the world. Their EUV lithography machines, costing over $150 million each, are used to carve microscopic circuits smaller than a virus — the foundation of every chip used in smartphones, data centres, and AI supercomputers. But ASML isn’t just about engineering — it’s about power. Governments are fighting over their technology. The U.S. blocked them from selling to China. Entire economies depend on their machines. This is the story of how one company came to quietly control the future of artificial intelligence — and why every AI breakthrough, from ChatGPT to self-driving cars, ultimately traces back to a factory in the Netherlands.
