Niall Gooch is a writer and has appeared in The Spectator, Unheard, and The Catholic Herald. 

In this episode, Niall and I think out loud about the unique aspects of British identity, the impact of political ideologies on historical narratives, and why we need to strike a balance between kindness and justice in public policy. We also talk about why each of us need a deeper understanding of the cultural values we hold, why we must preserve historical context when engaging in discussions about contemporary issues, the evolution of the Catholic Church, the tension between tradition and modernity, and much, much more. 

And in the exclusive Substack Q& A for paid subscribers, we discuss Niall's personal transformations, including his shift in perspective regarding war and intervention, the future of the monarchy in relation to its Christian roots.
