Episode 8 – How to fight newspeak, gambling’s election gateway drug, karaoke for profit and Trivago’s muddy algorithm

In which we finish our discussion with our Orwell expert and discover that Putin does not have a monopoly over newspeak. We also examine the sneaky way online gambling outfits are trying to hook unsuspecting voters, the success of carpool karaoke and how a record fine for being clear as mud still turns a profit for Trivago.

An episode without Trump is like a day without sunshine!
