In an age of creeping authoritarianism, anyone who questions the logic of competing narratives when it comes to historical conflicts risks being silenced. Russian American journalist Masha Gessen says however, in order to learn from history we have to question our world and recognise the signs of when we're sliding into darkness. Gessen examines how the intersection of history, memory, propaganda and censorship enforces the narratives of today – and what happens when narrative becomes dogma. Masha Gessen is an opinion columnist for The New York Times and a Distinguished Professor at the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at the City University of New York. They have written extensively on The Russian-Ukrainian war, Israel/Palestine, Vladimir Putin, and Donald Trump. They have won numerous awards, including the George Polk Award, the Hannah Arendt Prize for Political Thinking, and the National Book Award. Chaired by journalist Hamish Macdonald.

Martin Rosenbaum was the leading specialist in utilising Freedom of Information at the BBC. As the former executive producer of political programmes at Westminster, he oversaw programmes such as 'Political Thinking' with Nick Robinson, and the 'Week in Westminster' as well as editing and producing numerous political documentaries. He had a ringside seat at the BBC during the Hutton Inquiry, the investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of Dr David Kelly the government advisor who became embroiled in the controversy regarding the government's claim about Iraq's possession of weapons of mass destruction in the lead-up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq. It was one of the most damaging controversies in the BBC's history which led to the resignation of both the director general Greg Dyke and the chair Gavyn Davies. We discuss whether FOI changed journalism and politics and the lessons learnt from the Hutton Inquiry."We were trapped in a kind of groupthink, of feeling, 'We must really stand up to them. We've got to demonstrate our independence.' They didn't have the voices saying, 'Hang on a minute, is this intelligence really right?' We didn't have the voices saying, 'Hang on a minute, are you absolutely sure that every detail in this story is correct?'"Support the podcast by signing up here Find all our podcasts here Find Martin Rosenbaum's ‘Freedom of Information: A practical guidebook' here @BeebRoger@RogerBolton@mastodonapp.ukemail: roger@rogerboltonsbeebwatch.com Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

In this conversation with RevDem assistant editor Lorena Drakula, Michael Freeden – leading political theorist and author of the new book Concealed Silences and Inaudible Voices in Political Thinking – discusses the various forms of political silences; the problems of superimposing and inventing voices; the effects of the unnoticeable and the unknowable in political thinking, with the aim of understanding the complex and often hidden aspects of silence that shape our political beliefs and actions.
Left and right are not enough! In this video, I present a new form of political categorisation.
We examine the signs that prove what your political orientation is, according to the American Mainstream Media. How do you feel about certain groups of people? Are you able to be identified by certain foods that you consume? Are you able to be identified by simple hand gestures? And what purpose does the bureau of alcohol, tobacco, and firearms actually serve? Should they be disbanded? We ask the questions.
This season of the Brain Blown Podcast has been duly named "The Neuroscience of Human Connection." And in our final episode of the season, we decided to take a closer look at one of the biggest threats to that connection (for Americans, at least...) Politics. As it turns out, even our political standings can be traced back to our brains and how we use them. In this episode, Laine presents some fascinating research around in-group and out-group thinking how things like emotion, memory, and discomfort can sway a vote and the truth behind one of the most confusing questions in politics: ... how republicans manage to convince a poorer audience to vote in favor of the rich, and why liberals can't seem to convince anybody to do anything. Our hope is that you'll leave this episode with a better understanding of the opposing side (whatever side that may be for you), and learn a little more about why that side thinks, acts, and believes what they do. Who knows, maybe it'll lead to some healthy conversation in the future. ___ After this episode, we'll be taking a short, seasonal break to regroup and prepare for season 2! So if you have any topics you'd be interested in learning more about, please feel free to send us an email at info@brainblownpodcast.com! We'd love to hear from you.

This is a masterclass on the art of the interview from one the best political interviewers alive. Nick Robinson explains his approach, not just to interviewing, but to politics, broadcasting and people. Mixing sharp insights about populism and the role of the media with great anecdotes about how to control a 'Leaders Debate' and the tricks that both politicians and journalists use to gain an upper hand.

There was a video by Flux about what role politics play in our work. Many of the comments were split down the middle. I agree with the thought that politics are always in play, simply because politics are the projections of human opinions, beliefs, and biases. Just because you are ignorant of all this doesn't mean that they don't exist. I think it's important to consider what are the politics of the place you want to work so that you are not ignorantly supporting something that runs counter to your beliefs.

Ben Cobley discusses his book, The Tribe, explaining how the progressive liberal-left and its associated ‘system of diversity’ have come to dominate society. In this lecture, he talks about the intellectual inspirations behind The Tribe, exploring how Chantal Mouffe, Karl Popper and Martin Heidegger helped him to illuminate the fraught world of identity politics today.LECTURERBen Cobley, author, The Tribe: the liberal-left and the system of diversity.TALKING POINTS ON THIS PODCAST• The emergence of the ‘tribe’ of the progressive liberal left as an identity group that has overseen a domination of institutions and public discourse• The hypocrisy of the politics of diversity which uses the language of inclusivity and overcoming prejudice but in practice is exclusionary in itself• By furthering the politicisation and moralisation of identity, the progressive liberal left has been able to avoid discourse and even legitimate the removal of political opponents beyond the frame of public life.BIBLIOGRAPHYThe Tribe: the liberal-left and the system of diversity, Ben Cobley, Societas, 2018On the Political (Thinking in Action) by Chantal Mouffe, Routledge, 2005THE ACADEMY 2019In the context of today’s instrumental approaches to knowledge, The Academy summer school is a modest attempt to demonstrate the value of scholarship, and of the worth of the university as a place of free enquiry dedicated to the pursuit of truth.IDEAS MATTER PODCASTIdeas Matter is a podcast that takes the most important issues of our times and explores the ideas and intellectual trends that have shaped where we are today.You can subscribe and listen to Ideas Matter on iTunes, Spotify, Podbean or SoundCloud.

A look at rational political thinking
Is perception reality in politics? Wouldn’t it be refreshing if politics were about substance—about ideas and facts and not about appeals to emotion and attacks on character? In recent years, there has been a rise in polarization across the citizenry. The fragmented media environment has led to a change in campaign strategies whereby candidates microtarget citizens with much greater precision than ever before. Unless we are part of a targeted group, we seldom know what strategies have been used to help form our opinions about candidates. As we strive to understand the personalities of the people who represent us, moral and ethical matters count for more than we might care to admit. Join us for an unbiased talk about current political language and the strategies used to gain your attention across all party lines.
