Den negativa lästrenden är bruten och programledare Amanda Törner undrar om det därför är dags för nästa rebranding av höstlovet. Glöm läslovet – dags att införa AI-lovet, trygghetslovet eller mindfulnesslovet? Redaktör Andreas Rågsjö-Thorell har grävt där han står och är rädd att Resumé har ett varumärkesproblem, för så måste det väl vara om inte ens tidningens tidigare chefredaktörer har koll på vad vi bevakar numera? Redaktör tillika utrikeskorre Billy Andersson debriefar det senaste från resten av världen, såsom Oobah Butlers senaste trollning av samtiden och filmen ”Dumb Money” om Gamestophärvan.

Ellie Taylor welcomes you to "Safe Space", a place where anyone can offload their controversial opinions without fear of judgment. This week she wants to abolish the Internet, arguing that the online world isn't real and as a society we're far too reliant on it. Joining Ellie to help prove her point is regular sidekick Robin Morgan. With special guest: Author, Filmmaker and Co-Host of MTV's Catfish UK, Oobah Butler. Oobah's best known for creating The Shed at Dulwich, a fictional restaurant which in 2017 became the top-rated venue in London on TripAdvisor, despite having never served a dish. He chats to Ellie about how he used the Internet to create his fictional restaurant and why he thinks people are too ready to trust what they read online. Written by and starring Ellie Taylor and Robin Morgan. Producer: Georgia Keating Executive Producer: James Robinson Production Co-ordinator: Becky Carewe-Jeffries Sound editor: Marc Willcox A BBC Studios production for Radio 4

Were joined by Oobah Butler, a writer, satirist and host of MTV UK's Catfish, to talk about how scamming is embedded into basically every form of online culture, and how actually, a lot of people really love to be in on the ride, even if they're the ones who are about to lose. Plus, we talk about Oobah's ongoing beef with Jeremy Vine, wherein Vine is trapped in Oobah's mind palace, with no way out. 

Oobah Butler is a British journalist, author, comedian, TV host and filmmaker, perhaps mostly known for his elaborate prank videos for VICE. Many of us have laughed at the absurdity of hyping a non-existent restaurant into the London No 1 on Tripadvisor; creating a fashion brand from market stall garments and displaying it on Paris Fashion Week; or sending another (better?) version of yourself to your highschool reunion. Oobah did all of these things and documented it, and when he received media attention he sent alternative versions of himself to the interviews. That's why his book is aptly titled How to bullsh*t your way to Number 1. We met him before a talk during Sime Leader Sessions at Epicenter in Stockholm, to discuss what is funny - and what exactly he is revealing about our human nature.

Oobah shares his playful take on creativity, absurdity and infamy with the Shed at Dulwich, TripAdvisor's #1 Fake Restaurant in London: "All you're allowed to know about London's best kept secret." Storytelling + Creativity + Internet + Absurd + Humour + Fake ----more---- Watch the video to journey into Oobah's invented reality, as he had celebrities, foodies and blogger vying to book a table at a non-existent restaurant, with the help of "fake reviews, mystique and nonsense." Vice: How to have London's #1 Fake Restaurant on TripAdvisor “Creativity has been my life. I don’t have any other skills, really, apart from the fact I seem to be able to come up with things that entertain people. Then I guess that business has just been intuitive in the fact that I’m able to put across my ideas in a way that people understand them or want to access them.” Oobah ButlerFounder of Shed at Dulwich, Journalist at Vice Creator of TripAdvisor’s top-rated FAKE restaurant, a freelance writer who uses comedy and absurdity to comment on the modern era. Over the past two years, his work has gone from quietly admired on VICE Magazine and The Guardian to being renowned globally, recently being featured in Longform’s Best of 2017 list, a profile with Scott Simon, endorsements by artist Grayson Perry, former New Yorker Editor Nicholas Thompson and other world-famous journalists.[Edited transcript to follow] TRANSIT LOUNGE RADIO @ LOGIN 2018 LOGIN 2018 – the first, largest, most uncompromising innovation bash in the Baltics.

If you have ever bought something in an online shop or been to a restaurant, chances are you've read a review for it, apparently written by a customer. And chances are you've also spotted more than a few suspicions ones, which stand out for their unqualified and lavish praise while being unusually free of personal details, or perhaps because they appear as a diatribe of awfulness designed to put you off forever. Who wrote those? In fact, there's a whole industry surrounding fake reviews - and it matters because more and more of us are buying things online and relying on other people's online advice to make the right choice. Freelance journalist Oobah Butler talks to us about his entire fake restaurant in London, James Kay, at review site Tripadvisor, tells us how they try to weed out inventions such as Oobah's and brand reputation consultant Simon Wadsworth lays on tips for consumers and businesses.(Picture: Customer review rating.
