About this episode

Emma is interviewed by Richard Cox about her views on the shape of the world and the nuances of belief.

He wrote an essay on the subject which you can read here I (Emma) don't claim to KNOW KNOW very much in this world. There appears to be a lot of nuance and uncertainty and definitely more than meets the eye. I encourage everyone to do their own research and draw their own conclusions I encourage you to watch Allegedly Dave's Biggest Lie of All and specifically navigate to 2:50 where the living room scene occurs A few days before this episode aired, I had a long (over three hours) debate with two friends who have different opinions to mine. This conversation got me thinking and I accept that there are some flaws in the flat earth hypothesis, just as there are flaws in the heliocentric model Further discussion with another friend, led her to send me the image I have used for this episode…
