Philip Kiszely is a cultural historian, an academic, an author, a political commentator, and senior fellow at the New Culture Forum.

In this episode, we talk about the evolution of British culture, media, and education from the post-war era to the present day, why we have seen significant shifts in the media's treatment of Britain and its history, how British comedy has changed, how social media has impacted cultural identity, the decline of traditional music and comedy, our changing relationship with cultural heritage and what this means for youth culture today, the profound cultural shifts occurring in Britain, particularly in relation to identity, education, and societal values, the impact of mass immigration, the changing landscape of higher education and the policy choices and politics that have changed the fabric of our educational institutions, what the future of British identity amidst these transformations, what the country's response to Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day tells us about our culture, why there are glimmers of hope for a resurgence of traditional values and much, much more.
