Ep 6: The Long Game & controlling the narrative

We're back! Apologies for the sick leave. This week we're off to the year 500,000 where the human race is a bit behind schedule. What's going on? Turns out when you take control of the narrative, and of people's stories, you can do some serious damage - so that's what we chat about this episode. Featuring discussions about the misuse of Handmaid's Tale comparisons when talking about reprodctive rights, and the tendency to use children as a handy excuse against anything you don't like. Won't somebody think of the children??
