Another round: Why Churchill was a racist with Tariq Ali

Winston Churchill. You learned about him at school. The wartime prime minister who gave rousing speeches and led the allied forces to victory in Europe. But, history is made up of narratives which, more-often-than-not, serve some purpose in the present day. Oli sat down with the author of Winston Churchill: His Times, His Crimes, Tariq Ali, to discuss the events and episodes of the Prime Minister's life that they didn't teach you in your high school history class.

Another round: How The Sun destroyed British society (with Chris Horrie)

At times, the Sun's position in the print landscape was imperious, wrecking and emboldening political careers. Despite declining newspaper sales, its influence still exists: mostly because broadcast journalists use The Sun and other papers to inform and dictate their own coverage. Oli sat down with Chris Horrie, journalist and author of Stick it Up Your Punter: The Uncut Story of the Sun Newspaper, to discuss its turbulent role within British society.
