Jan Macvarish is joined by Vinay Kapoor who runs the Free Speech Union's funding stream for students and young people, the Ian Mactaggart Programme. They begin by responding to the outrageous arrest of comedy writer Graham Linehan by five armed police officers at Heathrow Airport. Graham has not yet been charged but police are investigating him for three tweets posted earlier this year. The FSU is providing Graham with legal support, raising funds with a crowdfunder, and has succeeded in overturning the bail conditions that forbade him from posting on X. Vinay speaks about his time as a student at Warwick University where he launched his own society for open inquiry and debate, called Warwick Speakeasy. Now that he has graduated, he will be concentrating on expanding the FSU's outreach to a younger audience through tailored events and by encouraging free speech initiatives by other young people. Vinay is committed to resurrecting the ‘socratic' approach to intellectual development and public discourse where everything is open to question in the pursuit of critical thinking and deeper understanding. Finally, Jan encourages our viewers and listeners to get their tickets for The War on Science on 4th October (FSU Members can book discounted tickets) and the Battle of Ideas Festival on the 18th and 19th October (FSU Members can use the promo code in the weekly newsletter to unlock a reduced rate).

When 50,000 northerners marched under their banners in 1536, England witnessed its largest rebellion since the Peasants' Revolt. The Pilgrimage of Grace wasn't merely a protest—it was a defining moment that threatened to unravel the English Reformation and return the kingdom to Rome.Professor Peter Marshall, renowned Tudor historian from Warwick University, takes us deep into this extraordinary episode where religious devotion, political power, and regional identity collided with explosive results. Henry VIII's desperate quest for a male heir led him to break with Rome, setting off changes that rippled far beyond the royal bedchamber. What began as a "change of the English Church's CEO" rapidly transformed into something more radical—monasteries dissolved, shrines dismantled, and traditions questioned. For northerners especially, these weren't abstract theological matters but direct attacks on community identity.When the rebels and royal forces faced off across the River Don, England's religious future hung in the balance. A providential rainstorm, false royal promises, and factional divisions among the rebels ultimately preserved Henry's reformation. Peter is brilliant in exploring the paths that led to the English reformation and to the rebellion that came within a whisker of stopping it in its tracks and tumbling Henry from his throne.You can send a message to the show/feedback by clicking here.

Remember my popular Episode 29 on big babies from five years ago? Today I'm diving into what's changed since then, spurred by Warwick University's Big Baby trial, new research examining whether early induction truly prevents complications in pregnancies where scans predict larger babies.The most startling revelation? A whopping 60% of babies predicted to be above the 90th centile weren't actually that large at birth. This margin of error should give us serious pause when recommending interventions based on third-trimester scans. What also troubled me was the study design itself. The "standard care" group still saw about 75% of women receiving some form of intervention rather than experiencing spontaneous labour. With only six days average difference in delivery timing between groups, is there really enough distinction to draw meaningful conclusions? The recorded times between head and body delivery (just over one minute in both groups) further suggests we might be rushing physiological processes unnecessarily.For pregnant women hearing "your baby might be big," take these predictions with healthy skepticism. Having a larger baby doesn't automatically mean a difficult birth lies ahead. For healthcare providers, perhaps it's time we questioned whether we've trapped ourselves in a cycle of intervention based on imprecise predictions and exaggerated risks.Listen to this update alongside my original Episode 29 Big baby and episode 102 Shoulder Dystocia.

The latest figures show that more than 19,000 migrants have arrived in the UK from France this year after crossing the channel in makeshift vessels, despite government pledges to destroy smuggling gangs and improve border security. Cue predictable outrage from the right wing press, GB News, Nigel Farage and so on. But these negative headlines also seem to be turning the British people against all forms of migration even when new arrivals come to the country by regular means, according to a new study by Warwick University. Adrian Goldberg hears from one of the researchers, Dr Apurav Bhatiya, an economics lecturer from Birmingham University, independent migration expert Zoe Gardner.

Rob Madge grew up staging living room musicals with wigs, smoke machines, and the unwavering support of their parents and grandmother—but what started as childhood play eventually became the viral, heartfelt, and Olivier-nominated solo show My Son's a Queer (But What Can You Do?). In this episode, Rob shares how those home videos evolved into a theatrical sensation, and how a show born during lockdown has become a powerful celebration of queer joy, family, and radical acceptance—now heading to New York City Center for its limited U.S. debut. We talk about everything from queer theory and comedy as activism to being a theater kid in a small UK village and why their grandmother was the ultimate co-conspirator. Rob opens up about the emotional weight of visibility, the importance of letting kids be themselves, and the unshakable confidence that comes from being loved early and completely. Plus, they reflect on their journey from Gavroche to leading their own story—and the joy of tweaking the show for each new audience. Rob Madge is a writer and performer whose solo show My Son's a Queer (But What Can You Do?) earned an Olivier Award nomination following its West End run. They began their career as a child actor in Mary Poppins, Oliver!, and Les Misérables, and trained at Sylvia Young Theatre School before studying English Literature at Warwick University. Rob also stars as the Emcee in Cabaret on the West End, and continues to explore themes of identity, family, and theatricality through their writing and performance.

Leonardo Trevisan é historiador, mestre em economia e doutor em Ciência Política pela USP, com pós-doutorado pela University of London e pela Warwick University. Professor da PUC-SP e da Escola Superior de Propaganda e Marketing, é autor de uma vasta obra e um dos analistas mais lúcidos deste mundo em transe e em trânsito. O poderio dos EUA é incontrastável no presente, mas as escolhas das elites políticas e econômicas contam, para lembrar Padre Vieira, a “história do futuro”. Afinal, se todos temos “certa herança marxista”, para citar uma expressão, que virou livro, de José Arthur Giannotti, cumpre indagar: a quais interesses serve Donald Trump? Esse é um dos enigmas que tentamos desvendar com Trevisan. Papo obrigatório!
Giles Fraser and guests hear from novelist and opinion writer Lisa Solod on her negative experience of marrying outside of her Jewish faith, and from Amy and Takbir, on how they navigate marriage between a Christian and Muslim.

In this Convo of Flanigan's Eco-Logic, Ted speaks with Yin Chen, CEO and Chairman at Greenworks, a supplier of battery-powered outdoor power equipment (OPE) since 2003. With over 20 years at the forefront of home, yard, and do-it-yourself electric tools, Greenworks is redefining durability and eco-friendliness in the face of climate challenges, delivering high performance equipment focused on reducing carbon footprints.Ted and Yin discuss his background briefly, studying mechanical engineering at China's Donghua University, and business at Warwick University in the UK. He shares humble beginnings of Greenworks, recalling a meeting with one of their first clients placing a modified bike battery on the table, noting that it would be the centerpiece of all their applications. Fast forward, Greenworks now has more than 7,000 employees and manufacturing facilities in China, the U.S. and Vietnam, and offers everything from riding lawn mowers to snow removal tools and pressure washers – all powered by batteries. Yin shares his outlook on how Greenworks has shifted the narrative, and landscapers are now embracing battery power because it is in their best interest. Environmental benefits aside, Greenworks products improve workers' day-to-day well-being. As they engage with the cleaner battery-powered technology, landscape professionals can now focus more on their tasks without the negative side effects of inhaling toxic fumes.Yin also highlights Greenworks Optimus line of OPE, which was previously focused around the residential sector, but now focused on developing new products and comprehensive solutions for the commercial sector. The research and development, product testing, manufacturing, and customer service for the commercial equipment is being done at the Greenworks Commercial Center of Excellence in Morristown, Tennessee, ushering Greenworks Commercial into a cleaner, quieter, and more sustainable manufacturing future here in the US.

This episode of Airing Pain focuses on person-centred care. Person-centred care is based on the individual rather than on a generic group of patients. In this episode: Vicky Sandy-Davis, Lead Nurse of Independent Health and Social Care, talks about the importance of recognizing the value of person-centred care, specifically for people with intellectual or learning disabilities Ian Taverner and Sarah Harrisson discuss the importance of involving people living with chronic pain in research studies so that researchers can be guided by those with experience of chronic pain Professor Nicole Tang and Jenna Gillett share findings from their research on mental defeat. For people living with chronic pain, mental defeat can be a way of characterizing how the pain impacts a person's perceived loss of autonomy which can lead to a loss of identity when experiencing repeated episodes of pain. The interviews were recorded at the British Pain Society's Annual Scientific Meeting, 2024. Contributors: Vicky Sandy-Davis, Lead Nurse for Independent Health and Social Care, West Midlands Ian Taverner, Chair of the Public Advisory Group of CRIISP (Consortium to Research Individual, Interpersonal and Social Influences in Pain) Sarah Harrisson Research Associate in Applied Health Research at Keele University, Specialist Pain Physiotherapist with the IMPACT Community Pain Service (Midlands Partnership NHS Foundation Trust) in Stoke-on-Trent Professor Nicole Tang, Director of the Warwick Sleep and Pain Laboratory, Academic Co-Lead for the Warwick Health Global Research Priority Mental Health Theme Jenna Gillett, PhD student at Warwick University and Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Buckingham.

New books about the impact of AI on the human condition are two a penny. But it's rare to have an AI book by such a prominent author as Robert Skidelsky, a member of the British House of Lords and the author of the iconic three-volume biography of John Maynard Keynes. In his new book Mindless, Skidelsky presents a sweeping history of our relationship with machines as way of explaining how we slide into our current conundrum with AI. While Skidelsky doesn't believe that AI offers an existential threat to us yet, he is fearful of how smart machines could ultimately threaten the human condition. And, of course, we discuss John Maynard Keynes and his (mistaken) vision of both the future of work and of humanity in a market economy.Robert Skidelsky is a member of the British House of Lords, Professor Emeritus of Political Economy at Warwick University, and the author of a prize-winning three-volume biography of John Maynard Keynes. He began his political career in the Labour party, was a founding member of the Social Democratic Party, and served as the Conservative Party's spokesman for Treasury affairs in the House of Lords until he was sacked for his opposition to NATO's 1999 bombing of Kosovo. Since 2001, he has sat in the House of Lords as an independent. He has also served as a non-executive director of the American mutual fund Janus (2001-11) and the private Russian oil company PJSC Russneft (2016-21). He is the author of The Machine Age: An Idea, a History, a Warning (Allen Lane, 2023) as well as Mindless: The Human Condition in the Age of Artificial Intelligence`(2024)Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting KEEN ON, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy show. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE.

The near extinction of vultures in India may be responsible for an additional half a million human deaths between 2000 and 2005. The widespread use of the painkiller diclofenac in herds of cattle, starting in 1994, led to a massive decline in vulture populations in India, as the drug is poisonous to them. We hear from environmental economist Anant Sudarshan of Warwick University. Cooking like a Neanderthal - Mariana Nabais of the Catalan Institute of Human Paleoecology and Social Evolution has been replicating ancient butchering methods to learn how Neanderthals ate birds. A faster test for sepsis – we hear from Sunghoon Kwon of Seoul National University about a new method for identifying the pathogens involved in sepsis cases. The test has the potential to reduce the turnaround times normally associated with developing treatments for infections and may improve patient outcomes. And it seems we may have inherited some conversational habits from chimps – or rather from whatever came before us and chimps 6 million years ago. Cat Hobaiter of the School of Psychology and Neuroscience of St Andrews University and her colleagues have found that like humans, wild chimps engage in snappy, turn-taking conversations.

Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week's episode we explore the reality-bending paradigm of a largely unknown group of unhinged Chaos Magicians who sprouted from the philosophy department of Warwick University, England- the Cybernetic Culture Research Unit or CCRU. Under the direction of Sadie Plant and Nick Land the CCRU would develop exotic, paradigm shifting concepts like cyberpositivity, cyberfeminism and hyperstition. In the free section of the show we explore these ideas in depth and how the CCRU got its prodigal start. In the extended version of the show we quite a bit down the rabbithole to investigate what the CCRU got up under the leadership of Nick Land who brought the group to the house where Aleister Crowley was born following their eviction from Warwick University. We reveal a number of strange meth pipe prophecies from the CCRU, look at some prominent examples of hyperstition from the real world and the haunting, esoteric fascination with the ghost lemurs of Madagascar.

Sean Carroll's Mindscape: Science, Society, Philosophy, Culture, Arts, and Ideas
Science is enabled by the fact that the natural world exhibits predictability and regularity, at least to some extent. Scientists collect data about what happens in the world, then try to suggest "laws" that capture many phenomena in simple rules. A small irony is that, while we are looking for nice compact rules, there aren't really nice compact rules about how to go about doing that. Today's guest, Leslie Valiant, has been a pioneer in understanding how computers can and do learn things about the world. And in his new book, The Importance of Being Educable, he pinpoints this ability to learn new things as the crucial feature that distinguishes us as human beings. We talk about where that capability came from and what its role is as artificial intelligence becomes ever more prevalent.Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2024/04/15/272-leslie-valiant-on-learning-and-educability-in-computers-and-people/Support Mindscape on Patreon.Leslie Valiant received his Ph.D. in computer science from Warwick University.

In episode 309 UNP founder and curator Grant Scott is in his shed reflecting on the universal availability of post-production software, the siloed nature of photography and the continued thinning out of experience amongst photography commissioners. Plus this week, photographer Mandy Williams takes on the challenge of supplying Grant with an audio file no longer than 5 minutes in length in which she answer's the question ‘What Does Photography Mean to You?' London based Mandy Williams uses photography, video and sound to expand traditional representations of landscape. She studied for a Graduate Diploma Communications Film, at Goldsmith's College, a BA (Hons) History of Art, Warwick University and a MA Photography at LCC, University of the Arts London. Williams approaches socio-political issues in an experimental, aesthetic style, seeking to comment on urgent narratives through unexpected, diverse visualisations. Her project, England, examines the exclusionary politics of contemporary England through the metaphor of landscape and includes video, a photographic series and a free newspaper with fold-out posters and interview texts. In the sequence of black and white photographs coastal landscapes are merged with alien geographies accessed from NASA, representing a landscape that has become unstable, and which causes harm. While some projects reference personal history, memory and the passage of time, others reflect on contemporary socio-political and environmental concerns. This includes her ongoing photographic series, Disrupted Landscapes, and video, Chalk, both of which explore contemporary politics in England through the metaphor of landscape, specifically focusing on the landscape of the Kent coast. https://mandywilliams.com Dr.Grant Scott After fifteen years art directing photography books and magazines such as Elle and Tatler, Scott began to work as a photographer for a number of advertising and editorial clients in 2000.

Welcome to the Left of Str8 Podcasts: This is our “Left of Str8 Show” Interview Series, where we tell the stories of our amazing LGBTQ Community and fantastic Straight Ally's. This episode is one of our double header interviews for our Premiere Week of Season 7. I was excited to interview one of the most talked about Actor and Writer, who is bringing their One-Person Show, “My Son's A Queer, ‘What Are You Going To Do,” Rob Madge joined me in studio all the way from across the pond in the UK. We talked about his being the go-to child actor for stage when he was younger, going to Warwick University for Writing and how some old VHS tapes, brought us one of the best show's you'll ever see. Summary Rob Madge discusses their journey in the theater industry, from their early acting career to transitioning into writing and creating their one-person show, My Son's a Queer, but what can you do? They talk about the influence of Disney on their upbringing, the importance of family in the show, and the collaboration with Luke Shepard and Pippa Cleary. They also discuss the role of the audience in the show and the differences between UK and US audiences. Throughout the conversation, Rob shares memorable moments and the impact the show has had on audience members. The conversation with Rob Madge covers the role of theater in promoting LGBTQ awareness and acceptance, their plans and hopes for the future, and a fun segment of five questions. Takeaways Rob Madge's one-person show, My Son's a Queer, but what can you do?, explores their journey in the theater industry and the importance of family. The show is a love letter to Rob's parents and aims to create a shared experience with the audience.
