This episode of WESPOD hosts Judit Polgar, the strongest female chess player of all time. In this engaging interview, Polgar discusses the Queenâs Gambit, growing up as a chess prodigy, the advent of AI. Whether you're a chess enthusiast or are completely unfamiliar with the sport, her thoughts on the connections between chess and politics, and how AI has changed chess training and perceptions, remain both unique and fascinating.
Polgarâs professional career is hard to summarize. At the age of 15, she broke the record of Bobby Fischer, by becoming the youngest international chess Grandmaster ever. Since then she has defeated several chess world champions. Most notably, in 2002, she faced Garry Kasparov, widely considered as the greatest chess player of all time. The tournament was known as âRussia against the rest of the Worldâ, highlighting Russiaâs dominance at the time. Nonetheless, Polgar went on to beat Kasparov in 42 moves, becoming the first female player to do so.

The emotional turning point for David Davis which turned him from a âreluctant remainerâ to Brexiteer was ultimately âthe treatment of Greeceâ- âThe response of the EU wasnât to try and help them, it was actually to punish them.â
Welcome to WESPOD! In this episode, we will be hearing from David Davis, Chief Negotiator of Brexit, interviewed by Therese Raphael, Columnist for Bloomberg Opinion. Here, Davis describes why Brexit, his "chipper" attitude to the Brexit negotiations process, Theresa May's approach, and views on the future and opportunities from the Brexit deal. Despite the "gritty movement to stability", he sees Brexit as an imperative for new, better things, including simplification of regulations, such as during COVID-19's vaccines. Moreover, he highlights the UK's moral role on the international stage.
Prior to 2017, Davis served as Member of Parliament for Haltemprice and Howden from 1987 to 1997, as well as serving in various positions, such as and not limited to: Conservative Party Chairman, Shadow Deputy Prime Minister, and Shadow Home Secretary.

"We must make a choice. We may have democracy or we may have a surveillance society. But we cannot have both. A democratic surveillance society is an existential and political impossibility."
Welcome to the first episode of WESPOD! We are excited to bring you Shoshana Zuboff, writer, activist, and professor at Harvard Business School. In this fascinating talk, Zuboff discusses the perils of surveillance capitalism, which profits from "data-fication" of human behaviour and experience. She argues that tech giants such as Facebook, Amazon, Google, who hold the answers to "who knows", and "who decides who knows", without being elected and for profit motives. This violates our epistemic rights, which poses a fundamental threat to democracy and the rule of law, and presses the need for better legal institutions.
