Game On (with Natalie Haynes)
Natalie Haynes joins Armando to look at the gamification of society, and how the language of gaming has seeped into our politics.
Ready Player One?
Natalie Haynes joins Armando once again to talk about the rise of prediction markets, and how they might affect political language. We also look at the respective war memes from the US and Iran, and how they are taking their cues from video games.
Elsewhere, we discuss the Arc de Trump, Armando's bag of filth, and whether a Sphinx might look good on the White House lawn.
