PODCAST 09: THE PODCAST INTO NOWHERE

Andy and Colin discuss the various ways in which the missing Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 is being interpreted, and how mysteries like this become "Rorschach tests" eliciting subjective responses and a wide array of theories, some far-fetched, some more plausible.

Also under consideration is Malaysia's system of "affirmative action" or racial preferences that may or may not have played a part in this enigmatic event.
