In this captivating UnHerd interview, Freddie Sayers sits down with Douglas Murray to trace his remarkable evolution from a young Oxford scholar immersed in cultural and artistic pursuits to a global neoconservative commentator.Murray reflects on his early days writing the acclaimed biography Bosie (2000), a deep dive into the life of Lord Alfred Douglas, Oscar Wilde's lover, and how his focus shifted quickly to fiery political debates on the world stage.From his 2005 book Neoconservatism: Why We Need It to his later bestsellers like The Strange Death of Europe (2017) and his new book Democracies and Death Cults (2025), Murray has become a polarising voice defending Western values and interventionism, particularly on Israel.The conversation also dives into Murray's recent viral appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience, where he sparked controversy by challenging the shapeshifting Right and the unchecked influence of podcasters.Join Freddie Sayers as he uncovers what drives Douglas Murray, how his past shaped his present, and why he's demanding more from today's media giants.

Nick Cave and Tom Holland discussed Christianity in an event organised by Unherd entitled In Search of Wild Gods on Thursday 9th January 2025. Chaired by Freddie Sayers, the conversation revolved around whether and why there is renewed interest in Christianity. Tom Holland's book Dominion has become a staple of learned comment, with its thesis that pretty much all the values that shape our society are Christian values. Nick Cave is currently on a global tour with tremendous, joyous, hard won songs conveying a distinctly revival feel. But are we in a culturally significant moment? The answers they gave are much worth considering. What do they find in church? What do they not want to find? What is about the weird and wonderful that so appeals to Tom Holland? What is about the mystical and inexpressible that attracts Nick Cave? The discussion brought little comfort for Christians who seek success by numbers or ecclesiastics hoping a panic about cultural Christianity will save the church. Rather, both Cave and Holland point to a kind of Christianity that opens onto the unknown, inspires the imagination, and enlarges the capacities of the human soul. 0:00 Why Nick Cave went back to church 6:15 How Nick Cave imagines God 9:30 Tom Holland's love of the weird 14:23 Holland's thesis about Christian values 17:10 Is there a Christian revival underway? 23:28 Christianity at its most compelling 28:13 Music as akin to religious experience
