And what will the debacle mean for relations between government and military? Plus the Pen Farthing fiasco and the tyranny of TripAdvisor. “I am a Dog Fiend, but this Pen Farthing story made me so angry.” – Marie Le Conte “The Taliban don’t want the world looking too closely. Then they can start their culture war.” – Arthur Snell Presented by Andrew Harrison with Marie Le Conte, Yasmeen Serhan and Arthur Snell. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producers: Jacob Archbold and Jelena Sofronijevic . Music by Kenny Dickinson. Audio production by Alex Rees. The Bunker is a Podmasters Production Learn more about your ad choices.
