On this week’s Football Kickback, we’ve got the trouble with algorithms, strip mall culture, a full round up of three of the weekend’s Premier League matches (including why I largely didn’t bother with the North London Derby at all), and a lot of your questions to work our way through. Bonus points this week if any of you can guess which book I was balancing my microphone on. Come on in, the water’s lovely!
The Football Kickback: The Algorithms Don't Work
