The Measure of an Angry Swan ft. James Vincent

This week, we're joined by returning champion and friend of the show James Vincent to discuss his new book, 'Beyond Measure; the hidden history of measurement'. The book tells the story of how measurements developed throughout the course of human history, and how these relatively innocuous-seeming aspects of our life did not arise wholly naturally, were in fact designed by people, and how what is deigned worth being measured gives us an insight into the power structures at play. I wholeheartedly cannot recommend the book enough.

But first, we check in with old friend Elon Musk, in his head-to-head against the greatest poster of all time, Donald Trump.
