    The Best (and Worst) Climate Intervention w/ Simon Clark

    In recent decades, more and more energy has been put into developing interventions to either reduce fossil fuel emissions or, in some cases, remove them from the atmosphere entirely. But, which of those interventions actually have the potential to turn the tide in our fight against global heating and which are all talk and no substance? In today's episode of Induction, Tom chats with Dr Simon Clark to find out.

    AI Hype vs AI Reality w/ Jordan Harrod

    Artificial Intelligence is everywhere now. Over the past year, tools like ChatGPT, Dall-E and Stable Diffusion have turned what was previously a fairly marginal technology into headline news. Industry leaders make great predictions about the future of AI, predicting an end to work (and, perhaps even an end to humanity). But how much of that is likely and how much is pure hype? In this fortnight's episode of Induction, Tom sits down with AI researcher and YouTuber Jordan Harrod to find out.

    How Video Essays Took Over YouTube w/ Neil from The Leftist Cooks

    Over the past half decade or so, video essays have taken over YouTube. As things stand, a significant portion of the site's largest creators and most popular videos are at least video essay adjacent. In this fortnight's episode of Induction, Tom takes stock of where the genre has come from, where it is now and where it might be going next with a little help from Neil Farrell from The Leftist Cooks.

    We're Still Obsessed with Shakespeare w/ Abigail Thorn

    Since his death in 1616, William Shakespeare has often been held up as one of the greatest (if not the greatest) English-language writers. Nevertheless, the world in which Shakespeare was writing was clearly a very different on to that which we live in today. So, what is it that keeps audiences, creatives and other thinkers coming back to his work? In today's episode of Induction, Tom chats with Philosophy Tube creator and writer behind The Prince, Abigail Thorn.

    How to Survive Your Twenties (in a World on Fire) w/ Leena Norms

    For a long time, one's 20s were viewed as the defining decade of a person's life. The cultural norm was that this was the decade in which one would find a partner, get married, settle down and buy a house. But, even for those who want to pursue such a life plan, the economic shifts of the past twenty years mean that such a route now looks all-but impossible. In this fortnight's episode of Induction, Tom chats with Leena Norms about the weight of social expectations in one's 20s and how to survive them in a world on fire.

    Utopian Thinking in Dystopian Times w/ Andrewism

    It can be difficult to be optimistic about politics. With a climate crisis in full swing and inequality getting worse, it can be easy to slip into a distanced doomerism. But, what if that's bad, actually? In this fortnight's episode of Induction, Tom chats with Andrewism about the importance of utopias and utopian thinking even in the darkest of times.
