Apologies, we had some issues with John's audio on this one. Ben and John sit down to discuss the time-honored tradition of Overpopulation Fiction. Is it dead? Is it more relevant than ever before? Can Ben ruin John's career by tricking him into bad-mouthing Taylor Swift? Support the show Blue Sky - https://bsky.app/profile/wordsaboutbooks.bsky.soc…
