    The end of doomscrolling? the end of Airbnb? And the end of free WiFi?

    Presenters Alex Hudson and Chris Stokel-Walker try to work out how addictive social media (and doomscrolling) really is, try to understand how Airbnb bookings keep going up despite governments trying to shut them down, and a couple of exclusives about the BBC and just how bad Chris's WiFi is.

    The UK’s first AI "Tech Town", Germany's 24 years of censorship, and one million satellites in space?

    Presenters Alex Hudson and Chris Stokel-Walker try to understand why Barnsley has been picked as the UK’s first Tech Town (spoiler: it’s a Reform target seat, so Alex thinks it might have something to do with it). They speak to Barnsley council leader Sir Stephen Houghton.  Also… campaigner, performer, and all-around titan Paulita Pappel talks about tech innovations, censorship, and the patriarchy’s role in the adult industry. Follow Paulita here: https://www.paulitapappel.com/ Finally, they discuss Elon Musk's plan to get one million satellites in orbit, and start a fight with students about the role of AI in media.

    Is AI Kool-Aid and FOMO driving UK tech policy?

    Presenters Alex Hudson and Chris Stokel-Walker interview data politics and social justice academic Dr Elinor Carmi, of City St George’s, about the government wanting 10 million workers to get trained on AI… run by Google, Amazon, and others. Is this a good thing, or, as some critics say, letting economic growth supersede democratic values?

    AI could mean "the eyes of the state... on you at all times" according to the home secretary

    Presenters Alex Hudson and Chris Stokel-Walker discuss how Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has sparked a media storm over her views on the surveillance state.  Her view? "To achieve, by means of AI and technology, what Jeremy Bentham tried to do with his Panopticon. That is that the eyes of the state can be on you at all times.”  We also discuss what Trump is doing in Iceland... we mean Greenland, and what, if anything, trust has do with prosperity.

    AI girlfriends to fix loneliness, AI content to fix journalism, and AI influencers to fix politics

    Presenters Alex Hudson and Chris Stokel-Walker investigate how AI is transforming our relationships, from best friends to husbands and wives and even therapists, the death spiral of the global media and whether it’s AI to blame, and how Keir Starmer is attempting to influence the influencers. This includes an interview with the author James Muldoon, whose new book Love Machines looks at how AI is changing relationships (you can buy his book here: https://www.faber.co.uk/product/9780571399277-love-machines/)  We also discuss the “death spiral” of journalism and the media industry, which executives still seem to underestimate despite the bleak outlook; Westminster finally catching up with the influence of influencers; and how David Attenborough is the secret victim of a Reddit bug.

    It's Christmas! A sincere thank you and the best bits

    Welcome to Crashed, the podcast about how tech is at the centre of everything, whether that be economics, politics, philosophy, ethics, community, law, religion, education, or literally anything else.  Presenters Alex Hudson and Chris Stokel-Walker take a second over Christmas to thank everyone for listening across the first 10 episodes of a ridiculous experiment before fobbing listeners off by not recording an original episode for Christmas Day and instead looking back at the best bits of the pilot phase of the podcast. We'll be back next week with a cracking episode of 2026 predictions.
