Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Anglotopia Podcast: Episode 99 – Churchill’s Secret Life as a Painter — Dr. Lucy Davis on a Once-in-a-Lifetime Exhibition at Wallace Collection
Q: What is your favorite painting in the exhibition?
The Goldfish Pool at Chartwell, admired for its handling of reflections and the playful yet precise execution that captures Churchill's lighter, witty side.
Anglotopia Podcast: Episode 99 – Churchill’s Secret Life as a Painter — Dr. Lucy Davis on a Once-in-a-Lifetime Exhibition at Wallace Collection
Q: What's your favourite Churchill book?
Painting as a Pastime, because it succinctly explains why he took up painting and highlights the benefits of painting as a joyful, therapeutic pursuit.
Anglotopia Podcast: Episode 100 – Britain, America & Chicago: A Conversation with His Majesty’s Consul General Richard Hyde
Q: In two years in Chicago, what is your favorite thing about the city?
The guest highlights the people as the most memorable aspect—an exceptionally welcoming, authentic, and network-friendly community that makes it easy to build friendships and integrate, even as a diplomat living far from home.
Anglotopia Podcast: Episode 100 – Britain, America & Chicago: A Conversation with His Majesty’s Consul General Richard Hyde
Q: What has surprised you most about Chicago and the Midwest since you arrived?
He notes that Britons often misjudge the US, assuming it's one country-like entity, whereas the Midwest offers a diverse portrait with strong local identities; the emphasis is on meeting ordinary people, listening to farmers and communities, and recognizing the region as a gateway with a distinct culture and strong hospitality.
Anglotopia Podcast: Episode 100 – Britain, America & Chicago: A Conversation with His Majesty’s Consul General Richard Hyde
Q: So what does a Consul General actually do?
The Consul General explains that, unlike an ambassador who covers the whole country, a Consul General represents the UK across a large region, engaging with communities, business, and institutions to explain UK policy and to build relationships; the role involves traveling the Midwest, meeting Americans, understanding their lived experiences, and conveying those insights back to London.
