Hot off the heels of the cover arriving last week, these proofs showed up a couple of days ago. So things are getting pretty real. Exciting and reasonably daunting in equal measure. It's not out til September but you can pre-order here if you're keen. geni.us/TAOEBOOK

A few days back, Elon Musk accused Bellingcat of 'psy-ops'. I asked Bellingcat founder Eliot Higgins for his reaction - some of which you can see in this clip. The full 17-minute interview is in The Media Show here. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001m5…
