Three top academics, three dangerous ideas and your host comedian Susan Morrison.  Erin Sanchez (The University of Edinburgh) argues that dancers who seem to transcend physical, expressive and artistic reality, aren’t made through their training but broken. Dr Raphaële Xenidis (The University of Edinburgh) declares all algorithms to be bastards for routinely discriminating against minorities and exacerbating social inequalities. And Dr Rebekka Puderbaugh (The University of Edinburgh) explores the limits of speech and tries to pronounce chipotle anemone, soliloquy, Milngavie, gezellig and tzatziki.
