Douglas Murray responds to Joe Rogan
Manage episode 477199950 series 2829873
In this captivating UnHerd interview, Freddie Sayers sits down with Douglas Murray to trace his remarkable evolution from a young Oxford scholar immersed in cultural and artistic pursuits to a global neoconservative commentator.
Murray reflects on his early days writing the acclaimed biography Bosie (2000), a deep dive into the life of Lord Alfred Douglas, Oscar Wilde’s lover, and how his focus shifted quickly to fiery political debates on the world stage.
From his 2005 book Neoconservatism: Why We Need It to his later bestsellers like The Strange Death of Europe (2017) and his new book Democracies and Death Cults (2025), Murray has become a polarising voice defending Western values and interventionism, particularly on Israel.
The conversation also dives into Murray’s recent viral appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience, where he sparked controversy by challenging the shapeshifting Right and the unchecked influence of podcasters.
Join Freddie Sayers as he uncovers what drives Douglas Murray, how his past shaped his present, and why he’s demanding more from today’s media giants. Don’t miss this in-depth look at one of the most provocative thinkers of our time.
