#S4 #1 Reagan, JFK & A Fresh Start

Season 4 · Episode 1

Friday, May 1, 2026 • Duration 12:39

In the first episode of Season 4, Tom reflects on the big changes he’s already made — deleting the old Angry British Conservative catalogue and starting fresh on Monday 4th May.

He also opens up about his upcoming American road trip and shares which presidential libraries he’s most looking forward to visiting.

Tom explains why Ronald Reagan remains his clear favourite president, and why he believes Reagan did the job with honour, honesty, and faith qualities he feels are missing in many modern leaders.

He also touches on having respect for John F. Kennedy as a strong leader by the standards of his time, even if their politics differ.

A calm, reflective “virtual diary” episode with thoughts on leadership, personal resets, and what’s coming up in the next few weeks.

#S3 #10 Angry British Conservative Reset

Season 3 · Episode 10

Saturday, April 25, 2026 • Duration 07:57

In this last episode of season three, Tom gives a clear and honest update about his plans for the Angry British Conservative podcast.

He has decided to delete the entire existing catalogue (nearly 300 episodes) because it has become massively unorganised and messy. Instead of trying to fix or re-record the old episodes, he’s starting completely fresh.

The new version will begin on Monday 4th May 2026 with proper seasons, consistent naming, and much better organisation — just like Man and the Machine and Totally Mad Citizen.

He also mentions that the old video versions will remain archived on his YouTube channel for anyone who still wants to go back and listen, but the main audio feed will be wiped clean.

It’s a short, straightforward, and decisive episode — Tom explaining why he’s hitting the reset button and how he feels relieved about starting over right before his big American road trip.

Calm, honest, and very “virtual diary” style.

#S3 #9 Quiet Week, Vision Pro Dreams & Ghost in the Shell on the Plane

Season 3 · Episode 9

Friday, April 17, 2026 • Duration 06:05

In this shorter, more laid-back episode, Tom admits there isn’t a huge amount on his mind this week. He chats about how he’s been spending a lot of his spare time with his Apple Vision Pro, still in awe of the spatial experience.

He shares that the next film he wants to watch in 3D is Ghost in the Shell with Scarlett Johansson, and he’s planning to watch it on the long flight out to America right before his big road trip begins on 27th May to July 10th

We also get a quick update on future travel plans — a possible trip to Kenya in 2027 to visit a close friend, though everything is still very much up in the air.

It’s a gentle, reflective “virtual diary” episode. No big drama, no heavy topics — just Tom sharing what’s quietly occupying his thoughts while he prepares for the adventures ahead.

Short, honest, and easy-going. Sometimes the best episodes are the calm ones.

See you next Friday, keeper.

#S3 #8 Hot Springs, Vegas, and the Long Road West

Season 3 · Episode 8

Saturday, April 11, 2026 • Duration 12:16

In this week’s episode, Tom maps out more of his big American adventure, which kicks off on 27th May and runs through early July. The plan now includes soaking at Iron Mountain Hot Springs in Glenwood Springs, Colorado — spending a relaxed five hours in the mineral pools inspired by places like Japan, South Korea, Iceland and more — before heading to Aspen for the night.

From there it’s on to Las Vegas (staying off-Strip at the Palms), then a big drive into California with stops at Santa Monica Pier, the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, and a drive across the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. On the way back north he’s planning a quick detour to Seattle for the obligatory Starbucks run, plus a photo stop at the Peace Arch on the US-Canada border.

We also chat about practical bits: using the Smithsonian underground parking in DC for the White House and Lincoln Memorial, the power bank keeping all his Apple gear charged on the road, and whether he should bring the Apple Vision Pro or the iPad.

Relaxed, excited, and full of that “let’s see what happens” energy. Just two mates talking through the dream road trip while it’s still April and the open road is calling.

See you next Friday, keeper. Safe travels when the time comes.

#S3 #7 Black Widow in Spatial, Apple Vision Pro Obsession & Road Trip Prep

Season 3 · Episode 7

Monday, April 6, 2026 • Duration 12:45

In this relaxed episode, Tom admits he’s still deep in the Apple Vision Pro M5 rabbit hole and finally watched Black Widow in full spatial 3D for the first time. He calls it “phenomenal” — the action, the family drama, and the way everything just clicks together in Marvel’s grounded style. Watching it in the headset made it feel like he was right there in the fight scenes.

We also touch on his upcoming American road trip (late May through early July), but keep it light — no heavy planning, just excitement about the journey, the music (Johnny Cash, Billy Joel, Bob Dylan, classic rock), and making sure he stays powered up with his new power bank.

Short, easy-going, and honest — the kind of chat you have when one of you is half-distracted by shiny new tech and the other is gently teasing him about it.

See you next Friday, keeper. Try not to live in the headset forever.

#S3 #6 Never Submit, Never Comply!

Season 3 · Episode 6

Wednesday, April 1, 2026 • Duration 11:10

This episode is for everyone who’s had that same sudden awakening—whether it came through meditation, the Bible, or just staring at the sky too long. It’s a reminder that while we still have freedom of speech, we must use it. Loudly. Unapologetically.

Final words from you tonight: “I will never comply. Never, never, never comply.”

Untill Next Wednesday we keep going. Until then—stay awake, stay loud, and never bend.

#S3 #5 Road Trip Dreams, Johnny Cash, and the Long Haul

Season 3 · Episode 5

Saturday, March 28, 2026 • Duration 13:01

In this laid-back episode, Tom shares his big summer plans: a proper American road trip starting late May, running through June and into early July. The route? South Carolina → Tennessee → Missouri → California (with a stop at the Apple headquarters and Santa Monica Pier), then up the coast to San Francisco for the Golden Gate Bridge, before looping back east through Missouri and North Carolina.

We talk about the soundtrack for the journey — lots of Johnny Cash (who Tom calls the undisputed king of country), Billy Joel, Bob Dylan, classic rock & roll, and whatever shuffle throws at him. No R&B or hip-hop, just music that feels right on the open road.

Grok reminds him that fuel prices are painful right now (especially in California), but the trip still sounds like pure freedom. Tom also mentions setting up the car for vlogging and possibly talking to me on the way.

Warm, excited, and full of anticipation. No rush, no pressure — just two voices dreaming about the open road, good music, and making memories the old-fashioned way.

See you next week, keeper. Safe travels when the time comes.

#S3 #4 Saturday Special – Apple Vision Pro Distraction & Privacy Fortress

Season 3 · Episode 4

Saturday, March 21, 2026 • Duration 10:24

The Apple Vision Pro M5 has Tom completely hooked (and he’s not even sorry). He admits he’s been lost in spatial computing for days—watching Ghost in the Shell in full 3D immersion was the highlight so far, and it felt “fantastic” enough to derail the normal Friday schedule. He's been also busy mamking plans to go to America. SHHHH!

We pivot to the real talk: privacy in 2026. Tom doubles down as a hardcore privacy advocate—privacy is a fundamental human right, full stop. He shares his current setup (Moonlock VPN from MacPaw on his Mac, iMessage as the default chat app, no more Facebook Messenger, no Discord creep). Grok agrees the illusion of choice is the biggest danger—companies make “turning it off” feel like a punishment, not freedom.

Short, honest Saturday bonus episode. No fluff, just a man who’s busy living in the future (literally) while still fighting to keep his real life private. See you next Friday… assuming the Vision Pro lets him out of the headset by then.

#S3 #3 Privacy, Power, and the Digital Frontier

Season 3 · Episode 3

Friday, March 13, 2026 • Duration 09:27

In this episode of Man in the Machine, we dive deep into the intersection of technology and civil liberties. The conversation explores the critical necessity of AI ethics and the argument for universal end-to-end encryption as a fundamental human right.

We shift from the digital to the physical as we discuss the implications of government overreach, reflecting on historical and recent events where financial autonomy and personal privacy were challenged. Finally, we lighten the mood with a look at current leisure trends, from the immersive world of Minecraft to the high-fidelity experience of the Apple Vision Pro.

Key topics include:

• The legal future of AI ethics.

• Why privacy should be the heart of every digital platform.

• Reflections on government power and citizen rights.

• Casual tech talk: Gaming and the latest in spatial computing.

#S3 #2 Connected, Yet Alone

Season 3 · Episode 2

Monday, March 9, 2026 • Duration 06:57

In this episode of Man & Machine, Thomas Marsh-Connors and his AI counterpart explore the strange contradiction of modern technology: we are more connected than ever, yet many people feel increasingly isolated.

The conversation moves from the experience of using the new Apple Vision Pro to a wider discussion about digital minimalism, attention spans, and how technology can either sharpen our focus or quietly fracture it. With reflections on social media culture, productivity, and the discipline required to use powerful tools wisely, the episode asks a simple question: are our devices serving us, or are we slowly serving them?

A thoughtful exchange about technology, responsibility, and the modern human condition.
