A Rational Fear Lite

🎧 NEW PODCAST: Dan Ilic and Sarah Wilson

G’day Fearmongers —

We’re gearing up for a big 10-week season of A Rational Fear Podcasts — but before we slam the pedal to the metal, enjoy this 1:1 A Rational Fear with the very smart and curious Sarah Wilson in a new easy to put together format I’m calling A Rational Fear Lite.

This week on the pod:

🤑 The Alex Jones $1bn Verdict.

🦾 No one at Meta wants to use the Metaverse. Great piece from The Verge. We also chat about AI and sample AI Joe Rogan interviewing AI Steve Jobs. Listen to the full thing here.

🕴️The 10 year anniversary of the Julia Gillard Misogyny speech. We chat about the international impact of the speech, and call back to our chat with Obama’s National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes on A Rational Fear. Listen to the full interview with Ben Rhodes — the juicy bit about Abbott and Gillard speech hits around 35min in.

Sarah’s plugs:

✍🏻 Sarah's Substack THIS IS PRECIOUS

We’ll be back next week with a new A Rational Fear season.

And I’d love to hear from you. What shall we do next season? What do you want to hear more of? What would you like to hear less of? How can we delight our audience more?

Cheers

Dan Ilic
