How to Escape the Surveillance State

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

Foreign companies are shutting shop in Egypt as violence there continues to spread. Also, Ukraine accuses Russia of waging a trade war against it. And, will there ever be a radical overhaul of the banking sector? Plus, in our era of CCTV, we look at what it takes to dodge the all-seeing lens of the surveillance state. We are joined throughout the programme by two guests on opposite sides of the Pacific - Tim Charlton Founding editor of Charlton Media in Singapore, and Kevin Roose, reporter and writer for New York Magazine in San Francisco.
