Montessori Arms Company feat. Priyanka Raval

For this week’s free one, we’re talking about a Thiel-funded startup to invent future guns that is apparently run by a 9-year-old. We’re also talking about AI Steve, the strange but 100 percent not made up story of a guy who’s claiming he’ll make an AI chatbot and represent its views in parliament if elected. However, we’ve also got an interview segment where Riley speaks with Priyanka Raval of the Bristol Cable about the parliamentary seat in Bristol Central that might flip from Labour to Green. Is there a lesson we can learn from this? Is this replicable? Does Labour hate every one of its voters? The answer to at least one of these is ‘Yes.’

Priyanka's interview starts at 34:39!
