  • Really informative

    This is a great podcast with fantastic guests, super interesting conversations.

    But please can you pay someone (an actual human)) to produce your theme music. The exploitation of creatives in the creation AI is in itself at odds with the subject of this podcast.

  • Eye-opening podcast with great material

    I only listen to 5 podcasts regularly, mainly story-telling such as This American Life and Radio Ambulante. I listen to many others just to try them. This podcast is great, with top-notch guests, talking about very pressing issues. I am learning a good deal about international law and human rights.

Q: Should we see, for example, one's right to privacy in the private sphere as equivalent to our right to privacy online?
