⁠⁠⁠Jonathan Cole⁠⁠⁠, an academic interested in conservatism, libertarianism, political ideology and political theology; and

⁠⁠⁠Holly Lawford-Smith⁠⁠⁠, an academic working in moral and political philosophy, with a particular interest in feminist theory and movement. You can find Holly on ⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠.
