Izabella Kaminska, of The Blind Spot, faces questions from our correspondent who knows little to nothing about the world of finance. What's going on with money? Why are people freaking out? What's Bitcoin? Who was Brett Onwoods?

Possibly the most requested episode of this current series The Cult Of Nick covered Bitcoin years ago and ever since we've had people asking us to do more on the topic. However, it's worth underlining that we never ever give financial advice (or indeed any advice) on this podcast, so don't expect that here. Instead we're looking at the bigger picture. Why is money so weird in the 2020s? What has happened to Bitcoin, since we first mentioned it on the podcast, and why?

We kick off a new series with a chat, Richie Allen. He came to prominence in the shadow of David Icke with the TV station "The People's Voice". Moving on to do his own thing proved to be the right idea as he launched The Richie Allen Show and went on to attract and engage a bigger audience on his own terms.

This conversation is open ended, we cover Richie's career and get into the nitty gritty regarding the curious nexus point between ideas outside the mainstream and then, the mainstream news covering those ideas as "news".
