Presenters Alex Hudson and Chris Stokel-Walker investigate how AI is transforming our relationships, from best friends to husbands and wives and even therapists, the death spiral of the global media and whether it’s AI to blame, and how Keir Starmer is attempting to influence the influencers.

This includes an interview with the author James Muldoon, whose new book Love Machines looks at how AI is changing relationships (you can buy his book here: https://www.faber.co.uk/product/9780571399277-love-machines/)

We also discuss the “death spiral” of journalism and the media industry, which executives still seem to underestimate despite the bleak outlook; Westminster finally catching up with the influence of influencers; and how David Attenborough is the secret victim of a Reddit bug.
