I’m a regular host of The Forum - the programme that explains the present by exploring the past on The BBC World Service.

Subjects include, Pets, Diplomacy, Mountaineering, High Speed Trains, Insomnia, Supermarkets, Plastic and Jewellery… listen on irregular Saturdays on The BBC World Service or anytime on BBC Sounds.

I’ve presented the majority of the shows this year - here is the latest episode (if it isn’t me presenting - it is still worth a listen!)

It is such a treat to record this show, I have gotten to study in a lot of incredibly complicated subjects in detail and talked to a host of great thinkers.
