September Update

Hey everyone,

Thought it was a good time to give a run down on what we have planned for our next episodes and a little farther afield.

First, in the editing bay we have:

1. Interview with the Conspirituality guys with an intro segment covering our old favourite Scott Adam’s recent appearance on TRIGGERnometry.

2. Interview with Julia Ebner on extremist communities, online dynamics, and the connections with or distinctions from the Guru set.

Then clipped and likely to be ‘next up’ are:

1. Sam Harris - based on his appearance with Chris Williams

2. Andrew Huberman and Peter Attia - covering how to read scientific papers (this might be a decoding academia episode that we also release).

3. TRIGGERnometry’s extremely revealing discussion of the reaction to Konstantin’s viral video and how they are capitalising on it. This is actually useful for examining the network dynamics of the figures we cover. Likely will be a special episode.

After that we have some overdue content:

4. Bret Weinstein with Alien Scientist on UAPs, UFOs (2nd part of Weinstein World meets Aliens after Mick West episode).

5. Matthew McConnaughey’s self help cult turn. Long overdue but need to get to this.

Some stuff we also want to cover and which might jump the queue includes:

6. Destiny (and likely a right to reply). Just need to find the right content.

7. Red Scare (maybe their recent episode with Bronze Age pervert for a 2-for-1 deal).

8. Peter Turchin being interviewed by Bari Weiss.

I’m sure there are other things I’m forgetting but this quite a bit already… if there is anything you think we’ve forgotten about make sure to remind us!

Matt and I have had hectic schedules lately due to grant applications, a work trip to Singapore, and some submission deadlines this month but things are looking a bit better from October. We should be on a fortnightly release with main episodes but if we can get more out earlier we will.

Decoding Academia will be back next week and we will be releasing two episodes on papers this month. I’ll post them up shortly.

For the Conspirituality release, we might throw up the early edit on the bonus feed today if we can get the major editing issues resolved but if not it will definitely be this weekend.

And… that’s all for now.

Any questions just ask below!
