Reading Our Times is the podcast that explores the books and the ideas that are shaping us today. It is hosted by Nick Spencer, Senior Fellow at the think tank, Theos.
We’re going to be talking to some of the world’s leading authors about issues like meritocracy, justice, populism, human rights, the brain, liberalism, and religion.
Above all, we'll be exploring what these books have to say about the times we live in and about the people we are.
So listen with us, and we’ll introduce you to authors, books and ideas that illuminate ourselves and our world today.
For more information about the people and ideas behind the podcast, visit https://www.theosthinktank.co.uk/about/who-we-are or follow us on Twitter @theosthinktank and @theosnick.
Humane, intelligent, thought-provoking and important.
Nick Spencer does a fantastic job as host of Reading our Times. Not only does he conduct the podcast’s question-and-answer format with formidable knowledge, conversational warmth and contagious inquisitiveness but he has an unerring sense for the books and authors that really matter and that contribute meaningfully to today’s most pressing issues. How he got such a stellar line-up to talk to him remains somewhat mysterious, however - but I hope the streak doesn’t run out any time soon.
