46 分钟Welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet.
I'm the head of programming, Conor Boyle.
Our guest today is Jamie Bartlett, author and journalist whose work focuses on the intersection of information and politics.
After the election of Donald Trump as.
President of the United States.
I wanted to speak to him about how social media and the rise of podcasts has influenced the election result and continues to shape global politics.
Let's go to the episode now.
I'm delighted to be joined today by Jamie Bartlett.
If you've listened to Intelligence Square across the years, you'll be very familiar with his work.
He's the author of books including the People versus Tech, the Missing Crypto Queen, which was based on the hit podcast in which he investigates the OneCoin scandal and its enigmatic leader, Dr.
Ruja Ignatova.
And he also writes the substack how to Survive the Internet, which is an excellent newsletter.
I highly recommend you subscribe to.
So, Jamie, a lot of people were shocked or surprised that Trump won the election.
You weren't surprised?
Why?
Why weren't you surprised?
Oh, wow.
Lots of reasons.
And I know we're going to be digesting this for months, aren't we, and trying to work out what was important and what wasn't.
