KRAKEN: Exploring the depths of culture, politics,

Each week, the Kraken team discusses a Thing, such as a news story, film, gadget, book, album, past-time, band, abstract concept, or glass of disgusting tech-slop, and then we dive into a related Question that arises naturally or tenuously out of that Thing. Whether you like strong opinions or stupid stories, join us among the tentacles and tangents.
