In the first episode of his new podcast from London, David Oldroyd-Bolt, the Danube Institute's Anglosphere Fellow, interviews the former Conservative Party Member of Parliament and Cabinet minister the Rt Hon Michael Gove.

After leaving Parliament at the General Election of July 2024, Gove succeeded Fraser Nelson as editor of The Spectator in October and has been widely tipped to received a peerage in Rishi Sunak's resignation honours list. Oldroyd-Bolt and he discuss what makes the Spectator such an enduring success and what he plans to do as editor, before turning to Gove's political career, including his revolutionary education reforms and whether he was correct to take a such hard pro-lockdown line in Cabinet during the Covid panic.
