Restored for their current exhibition ‘Friend’, we asked Pepper many pressing questions including if robots will take over the world… 😳😳 Jesse from NCM Studio also spoke with us about their role in robot restoration and the other machines within 'Friend'.

In the second half of this episode, our wonderful Astra shares his thoughts on Spike Jonze's film 'Her' - reflecting on human loneliness and its resonance in today's AI chat-bot filled world.
