VS is the new podcast from Intelligence Squared exploring those little debates that are always a big deal to someone. For the first episode, two expert guests go head to head to decide once and for all who is king of the road for the debate Cars VS Bicycles. Yassmin Abdel-Magied is a writer, broadcaster, social advocate and one-time racing car engineer. Her upcoming book later this summer is Stand Up and Speak Out Against Racism. Roma Agrawal – also known as Roma the Engineer – is a structural engineer, author and broadcaster, whose expertise helped build the Shard skyscraper in London. Her latest book is, Nuts and Bolts: Seven Small Inventions That Changed the World (in a Big Way). These two mechanical minds are both intrigued by the engineering marvels that make the world go round, but Yassmin says we should do it with four wheels in a car, and Roma with just two on a bicycle.

Intelligence Squared and Harewood House partner for this live podcast exploring the power of portraiture in representing Britain's complex history. The expert panel includes artist Thomas J Price, Director of the National Portrait Gallery, Nicholas Cullinan, and Contributing Editor at Novara Media, Moya Lothian-McLean. Joining our speakers are the Earl of Harewood David Lascelles and our host, writer and presenter Yassmin Abdel-Magied. The event coincides with the recent launch of Missing Portraits, a new series commissioned by David and Diane Lascelles to be part of the permanent collection at Harewood House, that depicts people of Afro-Caribbean heritage with a connection to Harewood – the inaugural portrait being of Arthur France, founder of the Leeds West Indian Carnival. The series is part of an effort to better reflect the history of Harewood, which was built on the vast fortune made by Henry Lascelles through the Transatlantic Slave Trade. Harewood acknowledges the troubled roots of its wealth and seeks to address the historic lack of diversity within its vast art collection. This situation is not unique to Harewood, which since 1986 has been an educational charity. Whether it's in the school curriculum or the collections of museums and galleries, the diversity and complexity of Britain's colonial history is not fully reflected in our understanding of the past.

Today, decolonisation is generally spoken of as the rightful return of things to the way they once were, and the removal of all traces of colonial rule. But is this necessarily the best way to move forward and give agency to African nations? Or has decolonisation become a reductionist trope – a scapegoat for modern problems? To delve into the nuances and importance of decolonisation we're joined by Olufemi Taiwo, Professor of African Political Thought at Cornell University, and Dipo Faloyin, Senior Editor at VICE and author of Africa Is Not A Country: Breaking Stereotypes of Modern Africa.

Judith Sloan joins Tim Blair and Nick Cater in the swill trough as US President Joe Biden pays down student debt and Australian PM Anthony Albanese pays his debt to the union movement. Both leaders remain clueless, however, about reducing nation borrowings. Global warmists at the ABC concede that “It's been a very cold winter,” but warn that Spring is set to be "pretty toasty" with minimum temperatures likely to be above median, which seems to happen roughly half the time. Celebrity victim Yassmin Abdel-Magied has revealed she 'fantasises' about ditching her Australian citizenship to free herself from the nation's 'blood-drenched soil'. Biden's student loan reduction package announced Wednesday will forgive students loans debt of up to $10,000, making good on a promise made during his own campaign. It's part of wider programme to give assistance to the least vulnerable in the American community - kids from good homes who took out astronomical loans so party with the college mates for three years and walk away with first class honours in finger painting. Thrifty students and their parents will be rightly penalised saving an sacrificing to pay off their college fees - people like this Dad in Iowa who worked two jobs to help his kid to go to college and was caught on camera asking Democrat senator Elizabeth Warren for his money back. In more big news from the United States, Dr Anthony Fauci announced this week he's stepping aside as director of National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and as Chief Medical Officer for the White House . He leaves a legacy of increased cancer and drug overdose deaths, a mental health crisis, financial devastation, disruptions to education that left millions of kids behind, and a sense of arrogance that may never be surpassed in US public administration.

Today I have brought in for you a book that I have been reading over the long weekend. Yassmin Abdel-Magied's latest book it's a collection of essays called Talking About a Revolution. Now before I tell you about the book I want to introduce Yassmin Abdel Magied…In her own words Yassmin is a Sudanese Australian writer, recovering mechanical engineer and award-winning social advocate. Yassmin was born in Khartoum, Sudan and her parents moved the family to Australia when Yassmin was a baby. Yassmin is a mechanical engineer who left her dream of working with formula one and worked on oil and gas rigs.Yassmin turned the story of her early life into the successful book Yassmin's Story, and in some ways Talking About a Revolution is a successor of that book. Yassmin has also penned a middle grade series beginning with You Must Be Layla, which is being optioned for the screen.Yassmin is a talented writer whose career and life experience have been broad. Which is all important to begin with because she has also been, in her words, the most hated Muslim in Australia.Yassmin Abdel Magied is based in London these days after a social media post five years ago went viral for all the wrong reasons, leading to her receiving death threats and having to move house. Never mind the fact that she was raising an important social justice issue.Talking About a Revolution collects essays written around that time as well as across the intervening years, as well as original essays for the collections. I won't try to take in the length and breadth of the collection because it's just not possible in our limited time together.I will highlight the opening sortie from the book ‘Words Means Things' where Yassmin takes on Ludwig Wittgenstein's Philosophy of Language to ask the question; if words gain meaning through usage then who gets to make the rules about the ways we use language. What follows is an exploration of the ways cultural usage can be approved or derided, rejected or appropriated.The essay explores how media is able to sway, not just our take on the news but how we perceive events as right or wrong, worthy or distractions. We are asked about who controls the ideas that are broadcast out into the world and in turn who gets to decide what words mean what and in whose mouths we will accept the truth.It's a great discussion because in exploring ‘words' it not only acknowledges the sometimes tenuous link between signifier and signified, it also reminds us that meaning is created through action as well as sounds. Silently taking the knee speaks volumes, as does silently walking past racism whether it be on the street or in the administration.I'm still working my way through this collection and its array of ideas. I'm hoping to have Yassmin join me again on Final Draft so keep an ear out for that.Book Club is produced and presented by Andrew PopleWant more great conversations with Australian authors?Discover this and many more conversations on Final Draft every week from 2ser.Get in touch with Andrew and Final Draft.
