Join CEO Jennifer Grossman on the 165th episode of The Atlas Society Asks, where she interviews British writer, comedian, and broadcaster Andrew Doyle about his latest book "The New Puritans: How the Religion of Social Justice Captured the Western World."

Having received his doctorate in English Literature from Oxford, Andrew Doyle has written many plays and musicals, including the critically acclaimed political drama "Borderline." His several books include "Free Speech and Why it Matters," and his latest: "The New Puritans: How the Religion of Social Justice Captured the Western World." As a stand-up comic, he’s a frequent performer in the UK and the co-founder of Comedy Unleashed, London’s free-thinking comedy night.

But of all his creations, he’s perhaps most famous for Titania McGrath, his parody of the flower of wokeness, whose Twitter bio reads: “Activist. Healer. Radical intersectionalist poet. Nonwhite. Ecosexual. Pronouns: variable. Selfless and brave. Buy my books.”

Titania has two books of her “own”: "Woke: A Guide to Social Justice" and "My First Little Book of Intersectional Activism."
