Wikipedia founder on his 'friend' Elon Musk & finding truth online

Sam Leith’s guest this week is Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia and author of The Seven Rules of Trust.

Sam also asks whether the internet is getting worse – and if it can be fixed.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.
