The aim of the show is to offer a mixture of light-hearted commentary and in-depth interviews on all aspects of what has come to be known as the ‘culture wars’. This special episode of the show will be pre-recorded at the Battle of Ideas festival to be broadcast the following day. Andrew will be joined by two comedian panellists who will take questions from the audience and grapple with the creeping authoritarianism of our time. Abi Roberts and Nick Dixon will go head-to-head in a comedy debate on one of the most pressing topics of the week. The show will also include a debate between Eric Kaufmann and Dennis Hayes on the question of whether or not the government ought to ban censorship. Previous guests on the show include: Ayaan Hirsi-Ali, Peter Tatchell, Andrew Sullivan, Catharine Hoey, Christopher Biggins, George Galloway, Ann Widdecombe, Helen Joyce, Julie Bindel, Christina Hoff Sommers and Graham Linehan. speakers Nick Dixon comedian; writer; actor Dennis Hayes professor of education, University of Derby; founder and director, Academics For Academic Freedom (AFAF); author, The Death of Academic Freedom?
