Satirical journalist and comic John Oliver has made Edward Snowden's leaks a little easier to understand in an exclusive interview.

Oliver met with Snowden in Moscow, where he is currently living at an undisclosed location after he leaked classified information from the National Security Agency to the media. 

Snowden seemed to be caught slightly off-guard when Oliver asked him to explain the complex way the NSA accumulates information with reference to something that ordinary Americans could understand - through the sharing of "dick pics".
