Connor Tomlinson appeared on Timcast IRL to discuss political trends, historical concepts, and social commentary. He recommended the documentary film Fed Up, associated with Gemma Hartley's work, while discussing Michelle Obama's Let's Move campaign and the hidden power and influence of the sugar industry. Tomlinson also referenced Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Ultimate Meaning to provide perspective on modern complaints by drawing comparisons to the resilience required to survive concentration camps. In addition, Tomlinson discussed Ed Husain's Among the Mosques to examine contemporary tours and interactions with imams across towns and cities in the United Kingdom. He frequently referenced George Orwell's 1984 and Animal Farm to draw parallels between fictional totalitarian structures and current government monitoring of political dissidents and right-wing figures. Tomlinson also highlighted G.K. Chesterton's concept of Chesterton's fence to argue that existing societal structures should be understood before attempting to dismantle them, and he mentioned Kentaro Miura's manga series Berserk during discussions about comic books.
