Very good critique of Bill Maher interviewing Dawkins in this new episode:
Found it useful to watch the interview itself first. The podcast was quite an eye opener for me – hadn’t realised how much Maher was spinning a narrative and using anti-vax tropes. I’ll certainly be a bit more dilligent listening to these guru types in future. There’s definitely an art to the seduction. In retrospect Dawkins seems a bit miffed about the roads Maher goes down, and a little disappointing he fell back on an old association with him, but then he perhaps didn’t realise he had to be so vigilant with Maher?
