The Pod Delusion
The Pod Delusion is a weekly news magazine podcast about interesting things. From politics, to science to culture and philosophy, it's commentary from a secular, rationalist, skeptical, somewhat lefty-liberal, sort of perspective.
This week we catch up with a conference on blasphemy, find out the problems with the welfare reforms, and the LADS have loads of BANTER about that awful "UniLad" article.
A blockbuster show this week: we have a previously unbroadcast clip of Douglas Adams, Stephen Fry and Mark Cowardine, we speak to Julian Huppert MP and Adam Rutherford... and find out what a Brony is.

election candidate, jesen, primary election
Is legalising assisted dying a good idea? Should we use primaries to pick our political candidates? And since when was the Daily Mail judge, jury and executioner?

Instead of celebrating Christmas, we thought we ought to instead celebrate the work of Christopher Hitchens, who died recently. In our very special Pod Delusion type way.
This week we tackle the biggest story out of the LHC Higgs announcement earlier in the week: Why did they use Comic Sans?! We speak to the font's creator. We also speak to the man behind the BBC Micro, and science writer Marcus Chown about his new book which is based on an iPad app... and much more!
This week we find out whether the claims about "Earth 2.0" are too good to be true, catch up with the Voyager probes, and back on earth we discuss whether sharing NHS data is wise and discover the truth about H&M's computer generated clothes models.
This week we discover the plight of the Canadian Air & Space Museum, find out why the Venus Transit is significant and hear how a time traveler decided to come back in time... and then spend his time sat on internet messageboards.
This week we take a journey across time and space as we look forward to the Mars Science Lab mission, and talk about a new play that takes a look back into recent history through the medium of former Labour MP Chris Mullin's diaries. We also speak to Marcus Chown about his new book and are scared by news of what the SOPA act could mean for the internet.
