The Empathy Machine: Fiction's Role in Understanding Others

CofE rev with a difference Jamie Franklin sits down to talk with GB News and Weekly Sceptic host and comedian Nick Dixon about the biggest issues of the times. In a broad-ranging discussion, the following was discussed:

• Two-tier policing in the UK.
• The reasons for the elite contempt for the working-class.
• Language policing and the attack on social media.
• Why Elon Musk does not fall in to line with the accepted elite opinion and highlights from the Musk/Trump conversation.
• Nick's predictions for the coming year and where hope is to be found - if at all.

Towards the end of the show we spoke about more personal matters including how Nick has improved his mental health, the benefits of reading fiction, and some on Rev Jamie's personal disciplines that help him get through a certain amount of reading.
