UK in recession

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

The UK officially enters recession: shrinking by over 20% , one of the biggest slumps among advanced economies. We hear about smart adverts that know when you’re approaching, as the next frontier in consumer technology evolves. We also discuss the Republican supporter of the QAnon conspiracy theory who is poised to be elected to congress in November. We discuss all this with broadcasting analyst Ralph Silva, who is based in Toronto, and writer and consultant Rachel Cartland, who is based in Hong Kong.
