  • Inspiring

    A great diversion from all the doom to hear from people who have had such interesting life experiences - and to get their perspective on what’s happening now with little sense of weariness or disengagement. Hoping John interviews some female nonagenarians too.

  • Excellent concept, well executed

    I know John Tusa from my own days at the BBC. His substack - a memoir of sorts - is sharply entertaining.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Fleeing The Nazis And Founding BBC Newsnight | Rory Stewart
Q: How did international law shapes your worldview across the decades?
International law, as explained, is about signed treaties and accountability rather than moral posturing; it provides a framework for states to act with restraint and order, which the guest views as essential for long-term stability.
