Case 16: Sentient Robots

Case Sixteen. Mat Ewins rings a Russian Gulag where Ralph Matisse explains why he’s there and how he saved a sentient robot from a British Military base high up in the Belize mountains. How would learning that a robot is sentient effect your business? Usually recorded in front of a live audience this episode was taped down the line owing to a worldwide pandemic that has infected over 9.4 million people (officially). This episode is sponsored by Steve Wright who asks, “Following up on this, I haven’t been getting any emails through to Sunday Love Songs and apparently they’ve gone to this podcast’s address. Can someone please reply or get in touch with Radio 2? Cheers, Steve.”
