Hello and welcome to Under the Skin from Luminary. This week I spoke with Nick Corbuschley.

Nick Corbuschley is a writer, journalist, teacher and translator. He's author of Scand.

Why vaccine passports and digital IDs will mean the end of privacy and personal freedom.

Now time for comments on the Anis Varafakis episode. TDR says,

Lee says, Yanis manages to articulate a complex situation very clearly and effectively.

He sums up our global bias perfectly. Also, I'm on tour at the moment.
