As Britain zealously unlocks its shops and zoos (but not its schools), are we knocking over the norms that we’ll need to deal with a second wave of COVID? What are we going to do after the pandemic when AI and automation take all the jobs? Guest Daniel Susskind, author of A World Without Work, joins us to look at what all these people are going to do all day. Plus the torrid secret life of George Eliot. “Defending” statues with the Jacamo Freikorps. And who’s really behind the purging of problematic TV comedy? Ahir Shah and Helen Lewis join Andrew Harrison for this week’s full-length BUNKER. “The Government are like, Exercise your judgment… but not like THAT.” – Ahir Shah “History is a process. It’s about what we choose to remember. It’s not an objective science at all.” – Helen Lewis Presented by Andrew Harrison. Script and assistant production by Jacob Archbold. Music by Kenny Dickenson.
