Ethan Zuckerman: How to escape the internet hellscape

Wednesday, June 11, 2025 • Duration 42:27

How do you resist the ‘enshittification’ of the internet?

This week, Prospect tech columnist Ethan Zuckerman joins Ellen and Alona to talk about artificial intelligence, social media and the state of the online world. Ethan, who teaches at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, shares how AI has shaped his students—and how his teaching has had to adapt.

Ethan discusses the dystopian visions of billionaire tech bros. Will AI achieve superintelligence? Is it transforming our world for the worse? But he also explains how to seek out better, more wholesome corners of the internet, and why his students give him hope.

Slavoj Žižek: ‘Elon Musk lives like a communist’

Wednesday, April 16, 2025 • Duration 41:14

This week on the Prospect Podcast, philosopher and public intellectual Slavoj Žižek joins Ellen and Alona.

Slavoj discusses fatherhood and Netflix’s Adolescence, as awareness grows around young male radicalisation via the “manosphere”. He also talks about feminism and his criticisms of #MeToo.

Plus, with the release of his latest book, in which he argues that the left has hit its “zero point”, is there any hope for its recovery? He draws a through line from the left-wingers of 1968 to the politics and personality of Elon Musk—and gives his analysis on Starmer’s Labour as a "moderate, centre-right party" wrestling with the populist right. Slavoj suggests: does the left need a Trump figure?

Slavoj’s latest book, Zero Point, is out now (Bloomsbury, £9.99 paperback)

Is Britain run by an out of touch elite?

Wednesday, October 25, 2023 • Duration 01:06:38

Matthew Goodwin and David Aaronovitch debate whether Britain is run by an out of touch elite. Matthew Goodwin thinks that there's a new elite of radically progressive, morally righteous graduates who are dominating Britain's major institutions and imposing on the British public costly policies of hyper globalization and mass migration. David Aaronovitch thinks this as an absurd conspiracy theory that is only serving as a cover for a far-right political agenda. Who's right? Let’s join the debate with David, Matthew and Jo Coburn, who kindly moderated the event last week.
