Episode 156 - Richard Watson has another pint with Seaniebee & The Don

A Pint With Seaniebee

Following his inclusion last time at number 10 in The Don’s Top 20 Countdown, and due to popular demand, the futurist, Richard Watson returns to give us his take on the pandemic and how the world might change as many economies take their first tentative steps in opening up. We speculate on everything from Black Swan events like God or aliens appearing and more practical things like the BLM movement as a potential antidote to identity politics; continued erosion of privacy; curing blindness and whether it’s actually even worth fretting over things anymore in this increasingly crazy world.
