Konungurinn lengi lifi, skrifaði Donald Trump um sjálfan sig á samfélagsmiðlum í febrúar.
Frá því að hann tók við embætti forseta hefur hann unnið að því að gjörbylta bandarísku stjórnkerfi og samfélagi með suðurafríska tæknimógúlinn Elon Musk sér við hlið.
Hugmyndirnar sem þeir styðjast í niðurrifinu og uppbyggingu hins nýja samfélags hafa lengi verið að bruggast í tæknigeiranum - og þær eru róttækari en marga grunar.
Lýðræðið er komið á endastöð, og Bandaríkin þurfa snjallan forstjóra sem stýrir samfélaginu eins og sprotafyrirtæki. Það þarf að byggja upp einveldi, nýtt konungsdæmi, segja jafnvel sumir.
Í þessum þáttum sökkvum við okkur ofan í þessar byltingarhugmyndir og hugsuðina á bakvið þær, konungssinnana í Kisildal.

Introducing...Lucky Boy
Gareth’s whole life has been defined by a relationship he had 35 years ago when, as a 14-year-old schoolboy, he fell in love with an attractive young teacher at his school. He spent most afternoons in her bedroom and thought he was the luckiest boy in the world. But when she walked out of his life everything started to unravel.
Lucky Boy is a new four-part series in which Chloe Hadjimatheou asks who gets to be a perpetrator and a victim.

Á árunum 2002-2012 voru framin alla vega 12 morð á Filippseyjum sem tengjast söng á laginu My Way í karaoke. Hvernig má þetta vera? Hvað þarf að skoða?
Í þessum þríleik dveljum við ekki við hvert og eitt morð heldur reynum að finna mögulegar orsakir þess að alla vega 12 menn voru myrtir á Filippseyjum þegar þeir sungu sama lagið í karaoke.
Við skoðum samfélags-strúktúr og menningu, þýðingu lagsins í filippeysku samfélagi, ást Filippseyinga á söng, karaoke sem útrás og listform, karaoke sem órjúfanlegan hluta af filippeysku samfélagi, stéttaskiptingu, nýlenduherrana Spánverja á 16. öld, kaup Bandaríkjanna á Filippseyjum í lok 19. aldar, kúgun, stolt þjóðar, áhrif raddarinnar og söngsins á tilfinningar okkar og mögulega yfirnáttúrulega krafta og andsetið lag.

Hysterical investigates a mysterious illness that spreads among a group of high school girls in upstate New York. What is causing their sudden, often violent symptoms? Is there something in the water or inside the school? Or is it “all in their head?” The series examines the outbreak in LeRoy, NY, believed by some to be the most severe case of mass hysteria since the Salem Witch Trials. In his search for answers, Dan Taberski (9/12, Missing Richard Simmons, Running from Cops) explores other seemingly inexplicable events of the last few years – CIA officers being crippled with nausea and vertigo; cops OD'ing from exposure to fentanyl – and discovers they’re far more connected than we realize.
From Wondery and Pineapple Street Studios, this 7-part series forces us to grapple with the mysteries of our own minds, and reckon with a contagion that we thought was long dead, but may be the defining disorder of our time.
