Beard's Razor, pleasantly sharp.

A cheeky and alternative review of news and current affairs from my libertarian point of view. The review is sometimes critical, sometimes humorous, but always aims to be thought provoking while remaining interesting, I don’t deliberately intend to rattle any cages, but if I do it is done to entertain rather than annoy. When opportunity allows, I will dig up hypocrisy and share any irony and schadenfreude with undignified enthusiasm. Episodes every fortnight unless there is a glut of of opportunity.

A quickly passing 30 minute examination of experts and their predictions over the last 2,500 years, inspired by the weird and wonderful predictions about coronavirus. This podcast mischievously challenges any notion that experts are any better at forecasting the future than the ancient seers with their crystal balls.

This episode reviews the facts and the hype of coronavirus and considers whether the media are drumming up a hysteria more terrible than the disease itself. This episode also considers whether we are getting closer to a great apocalypse and whether panic and scaremongering are replacing religion as they permeate our souls, giving a dystopian meaning to our lives.
