Sophie Pender, founder of The 93% Club, returns to answer your questions on class, privilege and education. In the main episode, Sophie told Amol why she thinks Britain needs to stop talking politely about social mobility and confront the power of private schools. Now, listeners ask whether class identity has become too slippery, whether people downplay their own privilege, and whether support for state-school students risks helping those who are already advantaged. Sophie also discusses oracy, accent and confidence in the classroom, the culture shock of elite universities, the case for and against grammar schools, and why she thinks vocational education should be about aptitude rather than origin.

Sophie Pender grew up on council estates in North London, became the first in her family to go to university, trained as a corporate lawyer - then walked away from a six-figure salary to fight Britain's class problem. She's the founder of ‘The 93% Club', a network for state-educated students and professionals, named after the proportion of people in Britain who go to state schools. But Sophie argues that “social mobility” has become too polite a phrase for something much deeper: how much class, accent, money and private education shapes who gets power – and who doesn't. In Amol's final Radical interview, Sophie explains why she's made it her life's mission to make private schools redundant, why networks matter as much as talent, and what it would take to build an old boys' network for everyone else.

For this week's Q&A, Amol is joined by the economist, author, Labour peer, and happiness champion Lord Richard Layard. In their previous conversation, Lord Layard outlined his radical idea; that government policymaking should be decided first and foremost by how it impacts overall happiness and wellbeing.Now, he answers your questions on the NHS and mental health, how we should measure success, the ethics of farming animals for food, and whether pacifism is the answer for how we achieve greater happiness around the world.GET IN TOUCH * WhatsApp: 0330 123 9480 * Email: radical@bbc.co.uk Episodes of Radical with Amol Rajan are released every Monday and Thursday.

This week, Amol sits down with Lord Richard Layard, the author, economist, and Labour peer who has spent decades making the case for happiness and wellbeing. He successfully helped implement talking therapy to the NHS, and was a key figure in persuading the UK government to measure wellbeing.But he wants to go further - in this conversation, Lord Layard outlines why he wants happiness to become the main objective of all government policy, and argues that this radical change would even pay for itself.But what actually are happiness and wellbeing? How can we make ourselves happier? And why are young people less happy than ever before?

Oisín Rogers takes your questions on how pubs can not only survive, but thrive. In the main episode we heard Oisín's radical ideas about why he thinks pubs are essential not just for our history and identity, but also for the problems of the modern age. Today, Oisín considers the old-fashioned pub customs some people cherish and others find faintly terrifying: no laptops, no swearing, no sprawling groups and even a landlord who is not desperately pleased to see you. Are these traditions part of what makes a proper pub special, or a route to making it irrelevant? And as pubs close while bars continue to evolve, Oisin and Amol tackle the chicken-and-egg question: has Britain changed its drinking culture and left pubs behind, or has the loss of pubs changed the way Britain socialises? Plus, what small touches can publicans do for free that will give patrons an unforgettable experience and keep them coming back?

The British pub has played a huge part in our lives for hundreds of years: it's a place to eat, drink, grieve, flirt, celebrate and put the world to rights. Yet thousands have disappeared, and many more are fighting to stay open. This week, Amol speaks to Oisín Rogers, co-founder of The Devonshire in Soho. For Oisín, saving pubs isn't just about nostalgia - it's about defending the everyday places that make communities feel less isolated and more human. He's got some radical ideas on how to save the pub but, as drinking habits change, should we be saving them at all? And what is the reality outside of London where the economic viability of pubs is increasingly under scrutiny?GET IN TOUCH: * WhatsApp: 0330 123 9480 * Email: radical@bbc.co.ukEpisodes of Radical with Amol Rajan are released every Thursday and Monday.

This week, Shiv Malik, the man behind the proposals for ‘Forest City 1', takes your questions. He's a former investigative journalist turned campaigner: instead of writing another book about Britain's housing crisis, he's trying to build his way out of it. Forest City is his ambitious pitch for Britain's first new city in more than 50 years: a million-person settlement east of Cambridge, with around 400,000 homes, new rail links and thousands of acres of new woodland.We hear Shiv talk about his own background and credentials, whether ‘Forest City' is actually affordable, and if people can shift their mindset in favour of a new kind of city living. Plus, what will Shiv's “beautiful” new homes actually look like?GET IN TOUCH: WhatsApp: 0330 123 9480 Email: radical@bbc.co.uk Episodes of Radical with Amol Rajan are released every Monday and Thursday.

Days like Father's Day remind us of the people who mean the most to us. Some are there from the very beginning, others come into our lives later, but the people we love leave a mark that lasts forever. When Amol Rajan came on Great Company, we had one of the most honest and moving conversations I've ever had on the podcast, and it's stayed with me ever since. In this Great Moment, Amol opens up about losing his dad, what that loss has taught him and why we should never take the people we love for granted.

This week, Amol is joined by the author and journalist Shiv Malik, to discuss his plan to build a new mega-city from scratch in East Anglia. In 2010 Shiv Malik wrote a book called the Jilted Generation, which argued that anyone born since 1979 has been robbed of their future because of how expensive home ownership has become. Now, he's dedicating his life to a plan for a new city that he thinks will save Britain, and prove that we can be builders again.Shiv wants to build ‘Forest City' on 45,000 acres of farmland in East Anglia. His vision is one of Canary Wharf style sky-scrapers surrounded by England's largest nature reserve of 12,000 acres, with 400,000 affordable homes for one million people.The ambitious project has got some big economists and architects very excited. But people living in the proposed area are extremely upset by the prospect, with some experts saying it isn't even logistically possible.We put those challenges to Shiv, and find out why he thinks that his radical idea is necessary not just for housing British people, but also rebuilding British ambition.GET IN TOUCH: - WhatsApp: 0330 123 9480 - Email: radical@bbc.co.ukEpisodes of Radical with Amol Rajan are released every Thursday and Monday.Amol Rajan presents the Today programme on BBC Radio 4 and hosts University Challenge on BBC One.

Kate Raworth believes that mainstream economists have got it wrong for decades. For her, reducing everything to a simple measure of gross domestic product and increasing that number every year is a huge mistake that is harming both people and planet. In 2017 she proposed a radical alternative in a book called ‘Doughnut Economics'. It proposes a new economic model that priortises social and environmental needs instead of how much we produce and consume. Many of you asked us to invite her on the podcast, and you've also sent in your questions - so we put them to her. We get Kate's view on whether its possible to build long term consensus for her approach at a time when people want short term solutions and whether there is a better metric to measure economic success. We also hear her assessment of universal basic income, and a former Radical guest challenges Kate's fundamental beliefs on economic growth.

What if growth wasn't the main goal for economic prosperity? Kate Raworth, the author and economist behind Doughnut Economics, tells Amol why she thinks that measuring success by GDP growth is unsustainable, immoral, and an unfit economic model for the 21st century. Kate's thesis goes against centuries of economic consensus and has radical ideas for how to overhaul the system by prioritising nature and wellbeing. She argues that real abundance is possible, but only if we learn from nature and live within the planet's limits.

This week, Amol is joined by Ben Cohen, one half of the team behind Ben & Jerry's ice cream, who stopped by on his way to the South by Southwest festival to answer your questions. They include queries on whether ethics is more important to business success than a good product? Can companies be trusted to fulfil corporate responsibilities without government oversight? And how does he square his ethical stance with the fact that his ice cream is an ultra processed food?* WhatsApp: 0330 123 9480 * Email: radical@bbc.co.ukEpisodes of Radical with Amol Rajan are released every Monday and Thursday.Radical with Amol Rajan is a Today Podcast.

Amol is back from his stint in the Celebrity Traitors castle. This week, while in town for the South by Southwest festival, Ben Cohen of Ben and Jerry's drops by the Radical studio to talk about what took his ice cream company from a single store in rural America into a billion-dollar business. Ben Cohen argues that most corporations have trained people to believe profit and purpose are from separate worlds – while he says that a company's values should be as important to its mission as making money. Cohen makes the case that consumers are not just shoppers – they are citizens with wallets. He criticises companies that pay lip-service to that through short-term social media campaigns backing the trendy topic of the day, without embedding those values into their business model. But in an age when many companies are dropping their principles when the politics changes, can business really be a force for good – or does purpose melt away when profits are at stake?

The FT's John Burn-Murdoch stands in for Amol, joined this week by the immunologist and geneticist Professor Sir John Bell. After talking about the radical change being ushered in by successive medical breakthroughs on the main podcast, Sir John takes your questions on implications of this profound change. Will we see only wealthy people being able to benefit from these revolutionary treatments? What impact will the Trump administration have on the advance of medical science?

This week, John Burn-Murdoch sits in for Amol to speak to Professor Sir John Bell, one of Britain's leading medical scientists, about the huge (and often undiscussed) medical breakthroughs changing how we live, age and die. Medical advances have already added 12 years to average life expectancy in the UK in the last 50 years. But the next revolution may be even more radical: earlier cancer detection, personalised vaccines, obesity drugs, AI-driven prevention and treatments that could keep us healthier for longer. But with the science and technology moving this fast, can the health service, the economy, and the public keep up?GET IN TOUCH    WhatsApp: 0330 123 9480  Email: radical@bbc.co.uk  Episodes of Radical with Amol Rajan are released every Thursday and Monday.

Before becoming a farmer, Andy was a successful musician and DJ as one half of Groove Armada. He sold the rights to his back catalogue to pursue a career in agriculture, pioneering regenerative farming methods though his company, Wildfarmed.In this episode, we put Andy in the hotseat, and ask him your questions about regenerative farming, including the potential scalability difficulties, whether it is being used for greenwashing, the role of rewilding, and whether it could be adopted around the world.GET IN TOUCH * WhatsApp: 0330 123 9480 * Email: radical@bbc.co.uk Episodes of Radical with Amol Rajan are released every Monday and Thursday.

After igniting his passion for property investment, Amol Khuntale made the leap into mortgage broking to help other investors, now running a tech-backed brokerage that has been doubling its volumes year on year. In this episode of Elite Broker, host Annie Kane catches up with the founder of Melbourne-based brokerage Ask Financials to hear how he transitioned from retail banking to mastering complex trust structures for sophisticated investors, his journey of building a 17-person team, and why he believes the future of broking lies in bespoke AI and automation. Tune in to find out: How he manages the workload of a sole broker writing over 700 loans a year. Why he is building a custom CRM to automate client communication through AI and LLMs. The "80 per cent rule" for scaling a team. And much more!

Matt is a strong advocate for Britain's rapid uptake of AI to boost the economy, but what are the risks?

This week, Amol speaks to Matt Clifford, co-founder of Entrepreneurs First and former AI adviser to Number 10. Matt's radical idea is simple; he wants to make Britain wealthy again by supercharging economic growth. He argues that economic stagnation has left the UK with flat living standards and wages. In short, he says, Britain needs a pay rise - and the way to get it is through a rapid adoption of AI, and backing entrepreneurs. But what are the challenges? Amol and Matt discuss the potential winners and losers in the AI revolution, the dangers of cutting red tape, and whether economic growth really is the best way of improving our lives.GET IN TOUCH    * WhatsApp: 0330 123 9480  * Email: radical@bbc.co.uk    Episodes of Radical with Amol Rajan are released every Thursday and Monday.

This week, the entrepreneur Emma Grede challenges ‘old thoughts' about work-life balance, money, motherhood and success. She argues that focus, trade-offs and relentless effort matter more than comfort. From growing up in East London to building global businesses, she makes the case that opportunity still exists, if you're willing to chase it. But are her ideas liberating - or just unforgiving?

What if you could get access to a Masters or PhD level BCBA for free, within 24 hours, from your phone? That is exactly what Amol Deshpande built after spending years fighting a broken system just to get his own son diagnosed and into care. Amol is the founder and CEO of Frontera, a Silicon Valley tech entrepreneur who previously founded Farmers Business Network, growing it into a nearly four billion dollar company, and served as a general partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers. He pivoted his entire career after his son was diagnosed with autism at age two. In this episode, he shares what the journey has looked like over the past 12 years, why he believes the clinical community is failing parents at the moment of diagnosis, and why his son is now 14, badgering him to watch South Park, spending too much money at Shake Shack, and heading to a Knicks game. This is a conversation about hope, access, and what happens when a parent decides to do something about the system instead of just surviving it.   What you will hear in this episode: •      Why even a Silicon Valley entrepreneur with every advantage struggled to get his son diagnosed •      How his son went from a serious autism diagnosis at age two to thriving as a teenager •      Why the clinical community gets the moment of diagnosis completely wrong •      Why a diagnosis label is a baseline, not a prophecy •      How Frontera gives parents free access to expert BCBA support within 24 hours •      Why community is one of the most underrated tools in the autism parenting toolkit •      Rob shares his own sons' outcomes including what they were told would never happen   ABOUT THE GUEST Amol Deshpande is a seasoned entrepreneur and parent of a child with autism. His personal experience navigating a fragmented and inefficient care system inspired the creation of Frontera, a suite of tools that harnesses technology to expand access to high-quality behavioral healthcare for families everywhere. Amol also invests in mission-oriented ventures through Divergent Investments, his family office. Before Frontera he founded and built Farmers Business Network into a nearly four billion dollar company with 1,000 employees from scratch. Prior to that he was a general partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers, where he was the first investor in companies such as Beyond Meat and Axia Vegetable Seeds.   ABOUT YOUR HOST Rob Gorski is the founder of The Autism Dad, a blog and podcast dedicated to supporting parents raising kids on the autism spectrum. As a dad of three autistic sons with over 25 years of experience, Rob brings lived experience, honesty, and heart to every conversation.   THIS EPISODE IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY If your mornings feel like a battle before the day even starts, I want to tell you about something that is genuinely changing that for families in our community.

Amol puts your Radical questions to Adrian Wooldridge, a Bloomberg columnist and author of ‘Centrists of the World Unite: The Lost Genius of Liberalism'. They discuss individualism and society, a decline in support for the centre ground, the potential dangers of nostalgia, and how the political centre could engage young people.

This week, the columnist and author Adrian Wooldridge joins Amol to argue that liberalism is not only the best ideology for the future, but that it's also under serious threat. Wooldridge sees populist movements on the right and identity-focused politics on the left as potentially fatal to liberal principles. The once dominant post-war philosophy has had a bad rap recently, so why should we bring it back? Has liberalism itself grown complacent? Is it now an out-of-touch establishment, failing to address modern challenges like social cohesion and corporate power? To survive, Wooldridge says, we must take radical steps to renew liberalism for the modern age and embrace the political centre again.

Había que volver a enseñarles a todos cómo no se hace un podcast: ¿Qué pasó con el erotismo?¿En qué momento pasamos de la insinuación elegante… a lo explícito sin filtro?En este episodio de Carroemula, nos metemos en un viaje incómodo, hilarante y peligrosamente revelador:del galanteo de los abuelos, las llamadas eternas por teléfono fijo y las letras cargadas de deseo sutil…al caos digital de hoy: mensajes, fotos, urgencia y cero misterio.Desde clásicos que escondían el deseo en metáforas, hasta letras actuales que lo dicen todo —y demasiado—, este episodio desnuda (sin pudor) cómo cambió la forma en que nos deseamos.Entre risas y matracas, entre música y Enrique Colavizza junto a momentos absurdos (incluyendo reflexiones sobre cargar el celular en el peor momento posible), queda una pregunta flotando:

Amol Avasare is Head of Growth at Anthropic, which is going through the most unprecedented growth trajectory in history—scaling from $1 billion to over $19 billion in ARR in just 14 months. Previously, Amol worked on the growth teams at Mercury and MasterClass. Before that he was a founder, and he cold emailed his way into the Anthropic role when no job listing existed. Most remarkably, he overcame a traumatic brain injury from a Muay Thai match that meant he couldn't work for nearly a year.In our in-depth discussion, Amol shares:1. How Amol landed his role by cold emailing Anthropic's CPO Mike Krieger2. How Anthropic is automating growth experiments with Claude (their internal tool called “CASH”)3. Why the ratio of PMs to engineers might need to flip (more PMs than engineers) as AI makes engineers exponentially more productive4. Why activation is the single highest-leverage growth problem in AI5. Why Anthropic indexes 70/30 toward big bets (the opposite of most growth teams)6. How he uses Cowork to detect team misalignment in Slack7. How the company's focus on AI coding created a research flywheel that accelerated their models—Brought to you by:WorkOS—Modern identity platform for B2B SaaS, free up to 1 million MAUsVanta—Automate compliance, manage risk, and accelerate trust with AI—Episode transcript: https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/p/anthropics-1b-to-19b-growth-run—Archive of all Lenny's Podcast transcripts: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/yxi4s2w998p1gvtpu4193/AMdNPR8AOw0lMklwtnC0TrQ?rlkey=j06x0nipoti519e0xgm23zsn9&st=ahz0fj11&dl=0—Where to find Amol Avasare:• X: https://x.com/TheAmolAvasare• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amolavasare—Where to find Lenny:• Newsletter: https://www.lennysnewsletter.com• X: https://twitter.com/lennysan• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lennyrachitsky/—In this episode, we cover:(00:00) Introduction to Amol and Anthropic's growth(03:15) The story of cold emailing Mike Krieger to get the job(08:28) What it's like leading growth at the fastest-growing company ever(10:46) What the growth team actually does at Anthropic(12:16) The concept of “success disasters”(13:55) Why activation is the biggest challenge in AI products(18:05) Improving Mercury's onboarding experience(20:57) The importance of adding the right kind of friction(25:10) Anthropic's org structure(27:06) Why Anthropic focuses on big bets over micro-optimizations(33:34) Automating growth experiments with Claude (CASH)(38:20) How AI is starting to identify what experiments to run(41:07) The future of PM, engineering, and design roles(47:19) Why you might need more PMs as engineers get more productive(51:13) How Amol uses AI to prototype ideas and skip PRDs(58:10) Amol's morning routine: AI analyzes 20 to 25 charts automatically(1:03:31) Getting coaching from an AI version of your manager(1:06:27) How Anthropic's focus on coding and B2B drove their success(1:12:10) Balancing growth with AI safety as a core mission(1:18:09) Advice for thriving in an AI-first future(1:22:53) Anthropic's culture and the “notebook channels” on Slack(1:35:12) Failure corner: Shutting down his startup after raising money(1:38:25) The traumatic brain injury that changed everything(1:46:49) Lightning round—References: https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/p/anthropics-1b-to-19b-growth-run—Production and marketing by https://penname.co/.
