PodBible Magazine: Alex and Jason "give Order to the Enduring Disorder"
Hello Mega Orderers,
I was very chuffed to be interviewed (alongside Alex) by PodBible Magazine about the inspiration behind the Disorder podcast and where new listeners should start to order the disorder… You can read that interview here.
Below are some teasers:
Why did you start the podcast?
JASON: Firstly, I feel that many of the world’s top table issues are interlinked, but are usually presented as if they were discrete. Issues about the Arab Spring are covered separately from issues about regulating AI. The climate change dossier and the tax evasion dossier are written about like they are not connected. But in reality these issues are all part and parcel of the coordination failures that underlie the Enduring Disorder. Secondly, I noticed that a lot of journalism, think tank reports, and other podcasts are really all about the problems. They diagnose them and tell funny stories about them. I wanted to create a show that was engaging and told real people’s stories, but also proposed solutions. That is why I made the Disorder Show and created our unique ‘Ordering the Disorder’ segment.
ALEX: Partly, I wanted to learn a new skill set. It keeps me on my toes. It forces me to think through my biases and prejudices; be challenged by different viewpoints. I enjoy debating with Jason. It’s helped me find my voice, in this mad, mad, mad, mad world.
If you had to describe your show only using other podcasts, what would they be?
BOTH: We aspire for the humour and unified focus of Remainiacs, the moral clarity of Sam Harris’s Making Sense, and the production value and editing of Doomsday Watch and Power Corrupts.
