​​In his landmark Radio 4 series Everything is Fake (And Nobody Cares), the best-selling technology writer and podcaster Jamie Bartlett set out to understand how fakery became such a normal part of modern life – and why so many of us seem strangely unbothered by it.

As we rush into the AI era, Jamie Bartlett will be joined by Jimmy Botlett himself to discuss why fakery has taken hold, answer your questions, and more. ​
