4.9 out of 5 stars from 117 ratings
  • The mode rating is 5/5

    Few reviews, all five stars, except for one detractor. Probably a well meaning friend of Tom or Calum trying to exalt them to reach beyond LEO.

  • Amazing podcast

    So pleased I got to know about this podcast via unheard. Got to say this podcast bangs on about all the stuff I have been going on about for years. Every episode is great and really gets at the heat of the issue of what’s wrong with the UK especially the lack of foresight into investment in solid traditional industries but also other sectors like tech and in the space race.

    The way it is presented is great not boring to listen to.

    Keep up this great work we need more people in the UK talking a... more

  • The Neoliberal Tech Bros

    An interesting set of podcasts that cloaks its elitist, neoliberal outlook in a veneer of intellectual curiosity but in reality is pushing a very sinister agenda.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

AI doom and Britain’s factory boom
Q: What's your read on the role of AC (AI Safety Institute) embedded within frontier testing, and what are the pros and cons?
Sam discusses the potential benefits of AC for evaluation and safety, but also warns about politicizing AC, mission creep, and the practical challenges of designing tests that avoid saturation; he emphasizes the need for high-level resources if AC is involved.
AI doom and Britain’s factory boom
Q: Now, Sam, the Frontier Labs have been the focus of intense attention over the resignation of Jacob Coxon, an Anthropic employee. What is Anthropics' goal really, and where are things heading?
Sam explains there are multiple camps with different worldviews; frontier AI is advancing faster than our ability to audit, which leads to calls for pacing from some companies, while others push back, highlighting the geopolitical context and the need for careful evaluation rather than a blanket slowdown.
James Wise: This is how Britain wins the AI race
Q: What are the main challenges to achieving end-to-end British capability in AI, and how are these being addressed?
The challenges include energy costs, housing, capital access, and the need to attract and retain talent. The approach is to diversify suppliers across the stack, bring in external venture capital expertise, and create a supportive environment for scaleups through policy changes, investment funds, and partnerships with private and international players.
James Wise: This is how Britain wins the AI race
Q: What is the core mission of Sovereign AI and how does it operate within the UK government?
Sovereign AI is framed as expanding British sovereignty across the AI stack—through resilience, economics, and legal alignment—by behaving like a venture fund: investing in companies, sitting on boards, and maintaining long-term ownership to ensure strategic control and upside for the taxpayer.
048. Katie Lam: Everything has to change for anything to stay the same
Q: Do you think the Conservative Party should lead reform, or can reform come from elsewhere?
Lam argues that reform should be carefully planned and detailed, with a commitment to ensuring government functions correctly; she believes the Conservative Party has a role in driving that argument, but reform needs to be systemic and well-structured rather than superficial.

Frequently Asked Questions About Anglofuturism

What is Anglofuturism about and what kind of topics does it cover?

This show tends to mix technology, policy, and culture through a distinctly Anglo futurist lens. Episodes frequently critique regulatory systems, discuss sovereign AI and national tech strategy, and explore how design, craft, and urban policy intersect with Britain's future.

The show frequently features founders, engineers, designers, and policy experts who offer sharp, insider perspectives on national strategy, innovation ecosystems, and the social implications of technology... more
