A quick message before we begin this week's show. I recorded it due to the time difference between

Tasmania and London at about 5 a.m. my time, which means I may or may not have had the correct

mic plugged in. And so the audio on my side of the conversation wasn't great.

However, fortunately you may say, fortunately and not fortunately, we live in the AI era era so James and I applied some AI processes to my voice

Which means I sound clear I just sound a little bit weird and we decided that was the better move for this episode because the discussion is really powerful and you can't really capture that magic if you have to do a re-record.

So that's my little notification before we begin the show if I sound

cyborg this week it's because I kind of am and that is the future we live in on with

the show. This week we welcome to the show, vlogger and commentator Angie speaks. Now Angie we're going to do something a little bit different with the

intros. I have, I'm experimenting with them this year and I either ask AI for an intro or I attempt an intro and then get the guest to correct it.

So I'm going to go with option number two for you.

I'm going to introduce you Angie is, as previously mentioned,

a vlogger and political commentator based in the UK

with a particular interest in where, shall we say, actual or classical left

thought speaks to interacts with and falls away from spirituality, psychology, all that kind of stuff.

And in general, this exploration, this output is from This where culture disappoints you. How is that?

Well, thank you.

That's like probably the best summation of me and my work that anyone has done so far.

Mine has been quite a complicated trajectory

that's taken me into many paths and many worlds.

So thank you very much for that, a very succinct summation of me. Thank you. I appreciate it.

Good, good. Well if there's nothing to correct there, which is rare, so yay me.

I'm just going to move on to the traditional first question.
