  • Summary

  • Book Club #116 - Somebody Told Me - Richard talks to journalist and humourist Danny Wallace about his latest book about the dangers of conspiracy theories, Somebody Told Me. They discuss how the death of Danny’s father and an odd email message prompted this dive into why people get sucked into sometimes outlandish plots and ideologies, why Covid made the whole situation worse, the friends that have gone down the rabbit hole, either for belief or for monetary gain, how it’s possible, though difficult to escape from it all, the divisions within conspiracy theorists themselves, the bot farms that add to the problem and the fears for the future that propaganda and AI may lead to. Plus find out about Richard and Danny’s first meeting!
