Richie is joined by the Irish writer and broadcaster Gerry O'Neill. In a warm and meandering discussion Gerry tells Richie about spending time in Ireland's mystical boglands, cutting turf and delivering it to homes in the West of Ireland. Gerry explains how this has reinvigorated him and helped him to connect with people with whom he might have very little in common. The guys also discuss how people might organise as they realise there is no salvation at the ballot box, how the world's youth might use technology to turn the tables on the despots and much more.

Richie is joined by the serial investor and financial affairs commentator Melissa Ciummei. The UK's Digital Street initiative raises troubling questions about the future of homeownership. As property records become increasingly digitised, could we be heading towards a dystopian future where homes are reduced to digital tokens, bought, sold and traded like stocks and cryptocurrencies? Imagine a world where ordinary families compete with wealthy international investors and automated trading systems for a roof over their heads.

Through the tokenisation of property, entire neighbourhoods could theoretically be divided into millions of digital shares, owned by faceless investors scattered across the globe. Homes would cease to be places of security and belonging, becoming little more than speculative commodities in a relentless, 24-hour global marketplace.

Perhaps most disturbing is the prospect of removing human judgement and compassion from housing altogether. Imagine automated smart contracts determining rent payments, maintenance and penalties, with tenants answerable not to a human landlord but to algorithms and anonymous shareholders. It's a chilling vision of a future in which the fundamental human need for shelter becomes another opportunity for financial exploitation. Melissa Ciummei has been on to this agenda for years and lays it out for Richie and his listeners.
