Following an extended summer break, Kevie returns to the Crivins hot seat with Caroline Lee (Moosical). Caroline is no stranger to the podcast, having filled in for Kevie during a previous summer break. In the episode the discussion starts with the use of Telegram by Islamic extremist group ISIS and this develops into a conversation about freedom of speech. Is too much freedom a good thing or a bad thing?

Fascinating and sensible discussion.
Useless, am I? Pfft.
If I understand this correctly, the restriction of Telegram Channels is to do with how many people you can add manually. If people find the channel through the link (or by accident), then there is no limit that I’m aware of.
The phrase “I may not agree with what you have to say, but I will defend your right to say it, to the death” – often misattributed to Voltaire, was apparently said by Patrick Henry in his “Give me liberty, or give me death!” speech in 1775, the year before the Declaration of Independence was ratified.
Good to hear Crivins back on the air – good show, jolly good show!
