S1 / Ep1 / 18th Feb

This was recorded on 18th February 2022: an auspicious moment as it was our first episode. Simon, Julian Baggini, Vittorio Bufacchi and Philip Goff. We discussed animals and veganism in the light of footballer Kurt Zouma kicking his cat, the monarch’s finances and the UK constitution following Prince Andrew’s out-of-court settlement with Virginia Giuffre, and we thought about what lessons people can learn after Covid.
