Adam talks with British fashion stylist, writer and social commentator Ayishat Akanbi about the life-changing epiphany that led to her wanting to change the tone of the conversation around social justice and the 'Culture Wars'.
Plus, in the outro, a listener response to the Werner Herzog episode and Adam solves a few mysteries from the Christmas podcast.
The conversation with Ayishat was recorded face-to-face in London on 28th August, 2023.
Thanks to Séamus Murphy-Mitchell for production support and conversation editing.
