In the second episode of Last of the Line, Sam and Jon are once again joined by AJ and Samit for a wide-ranging conversation that starts with the slow death of talking to strangers, and somehow ends up with weather manipulation, Formula 1 predictions, and whether music made by AI can ever really mean anything.

Along the way, we get stuck into our addiction to upgrades and updates that rarely change anything, ask whether horsepower still matters in a world of instant electric performance, and wonder if driving itself is quietly being engineered out of existence. There’s also a deep dive into cloud seeding, climate control conspiracies, and the so-called Arctic Frost project — because of course there is.

As ever, it’s a meandering, occasionally confused discussion between a group of middle-aged friends trying to make sense of a world that’s updating faster than they can keep up with it. From novelty versus innovation, to F1, AI-generated music, and the emotional power of the songs that still stop us in our tracks, it's definitely better than the shambles that was episode 1.

Last Of The Line - a podcast about what we’re losing, what’s changing, and what might still be worth holding on to.
