02 - Foreign Things (Pete's Got Opinions)

Every Day a New Nadir

The sound quality of the pod is getting marginally better. Though, this week it is a little quiet. Not sure what happened there. So you will have to turn the volume up, but because the quality has improved, there is some good news. We cover a wide range of topics this time, so the pod is a bit longer than usual. We discuss whether schizophrenics' voices talk to each other, whether being factually correct on the pod is worth it, Alex Jones and iodine tablets, and how Pete feels about returning to England. There's also a bit of chat about capitalist realism, perceptions versus reality in immigration debates, and what Pete's ideal sexbot looks like. Notes: Capitalist Realism: Is there no alternative?
