Max Winga, an AI safety advocate from Control AI, joins The Peter McCormack Show for a sobering look at the existential risk posed by artificial intelligence.

In this episode, Max reveals how the reckless race for superintelligence, a profound lack of enforceable safety measures, and the apathy of global governance are putting humanity on a potential path to extinction. We explore the chilling capabilities of emerging AI, the concept of a runaway "intelligence explosion," why top AI researchers are sounding the alarm, and what happens when we can no longer control our own creations.

Kathryn Porter, energy analyst and founder of Watt-Logic, joins The Peter McCormack Show for a data-driven takedown of the UK’s broken energy system. In this episode, Kathryn exposes how Net Zero ideology, civil service incompetence, and corporate rent-seeking have driven up bills, destabilised the grid and betrayed the public.

We dive into the real cost of wind, the myth of “cheap renewables,” the politics behind energy policy and why nuclear and gas remain the only viable paths forward. This is a forensic, clear-eyed look at the UK’s energy crisis and what needs to happen to fix it.

Alex Phillips joins The Peter McCormack Show for a raw and wide-ranging discussion on the breakdown of safety, honesty, and leadership in modern Britain. A former Brexit Party MEP and fearless media commentator, Phillips pulls no punches on Labour’s collapse, the rise of woke economics, and the growing failure to protect women and working-class communities.

We examine political cowardice, mass migration, cultural instability and the daily erosion of public trust. From the broken justice system to collapsing schools and rising crime, Alex makes the case that Britain’s elite have abandoned their responsibilities and that only radical honesty can rebuild what’s been lost.
