In this week's episode: Why are a growing number of people putting the planet before parenthood? Madeleine Kearns writes about this phenomenon in this week's issue and thinks that some of these fears might be unfounded. Tom Woodman author of Future is one of these people that Madeleine's piece talks about. Tom has very real worries about bringing a child into the world. It's not only the least green thing he could do but also that the standard of living for that child could be severely limited due to a climate catastrophe. (00:47) Also this week: Has Boris Johnson brought Conservatism full circle? That's the argument Tim Stanley makes in this week's Spectator. He joins Lara on the podcast along with one of the MPs mentioned in the piece, Steve Baker. (12:50) And finally: What is the state of the Booker Prize shortlist? The Booker Prize shortlist has been released and it's fair to say one of our critics Philip Hensher is not too impressed with the batch. But how are these books selected? What are the criteria? Can a Booker Prize winner be funny? To answer all those questions, Philip joins Lara along with The Spectator's Books Editor and former Booker judge, Sam Leith.

In this week's episode: with the energy crisis picking up pace who are set to be the winners and losers in this cold war for gas? Domestically we are seeing queues for petrol, rising gas prices all in the face of the Government's net-zero agenda. And internationally things are looking just as turbulent, with China buying up as much fuel as possible, America becoming more isolationist when it comes to its energy supply, and Russia feeling more powerful in its place thanks to its Nord Stream 2 pipeline. These are the issues that Seb Kennedy addresses in his cover piece this week for The Spectator. He speaks about his findings on the podcast along with Senior Reporter for Energy and Commodities for Bloomberg and co-author of The World for Sale, Jack Farchy. (00:50) Also this week: can the police reform with Cressida Dick still in charge? Leroy Logan writes in this week's Spectator that if the Met and police are to reform its subculture of racism and misogyny it can't be done with Cressida Dick still at the helm. He is joined on the podcast by Sharon Haye, a former officer and policing advocate. (14:06) And finally: what is the future for British butchery? Olivia Potts is learning butchery.

While working for Disney during the week, on the weekends Sam discovered sailing. He sailed from California to Hawaii solo. During the trip, he recorded some videos, which he uploaded to YouTube, to share with his friends and as a memory of the experience. He soon discovered others were watching his videos and he was making a little money. Being a good entrepreneur, Sam saw this as an opportunity to fund his passion for sailing. He had saved up some money so he quit his job and started sailing full-time. He kept making videos for YouTube and now has a successful YouTube channel that generates sufficient income enabling him to chase his sailing dreams.
