This is not propaganda

Author: Little Atoms / Jonathan Tanner June 25, 2020 Duration: 46:50
In the first episode of a new series exploring misinformation, disinformation and communication, Jonathan talks to Author Peter Pomerantsev. Having lived in Post-Soviet Russia where he made TV, Peter has a unique insight into how some of the 'nebulous nostalgia' of that period is on display today in the UK and the US. The conversation covers the great 'f**k off to facts', why we buy into conspiracy theories, the challenges facing civil society in the internet era and how we might construct a new, neutral digital public sphere.

Ever wondered what happens when the slow, deliberate machinery of government collides with the relentless pace of technological change? That’s the central tension explored in Government vs The Robots, a fortnightly podcast from Little Atoms hosted by Jonathan Tanner. This isn't just speculative fiction; it's a grounded, often surprising look at the very real ways emerging tech is set to reshape power, policy, and public life. Think of it as a necessary briefing for the future, where the corridors of Westminster meet the algorithms of tomorrow. Each episode, Jonathan is joined by a rotating panel of thinkers and practitioners-experts he genuinely enjoys engaging with-to unpack topics from AI legislation and surveillance to digital democracy and the ethics of automation. The conversations are accessible but never superficial, designed for anyone curious about where politics must go as technology races ahead. Tune in for thoughtful analysis that cuts through the hype, asking not just what technology can do, but what it should do within the frameworks that govern us all. This podcast is hosted on Acast.
