Keon West: Racism, science and alternative facts 39:57

منذ 6 أيام39:57

39:57

How do we measure racism? In such politically charged terrain, the need for objective data is clear. By some surveys, half of Brits don’t believe that racism exists. Keon West, social psychologist and visiting professor at LSE, joins the podcast to discuss this phenomenon. Keon explains what data can tell us, and delves into the surprising ways that the UK compares to the US. He unpacks the ingenious studies that reveal how racism really works, and why he thinks the Sewell report commissioned by Boris Johnson was “deeply flawed”. He also talks about conducting experiments in a time of “alternative facts”, why we need to trust the science, instead of just relying on scientists, and how those on the left and right can improve discussions about racism. Plus, after Zelensky’s “dressing down” at the White House, Ellen and Alona talk dress codes: banger or dud? Keon’s book ‘The Science of Racism’ is published by Pan Macmillan and is available here .

China: The greatest threat to human rights 43:24

منذ 13 يومًا43:24

43:24

What is the biggest threat to the international human rights system today? And, in such an unstable world, what hope is there for the future of human rights? This week, Ellen and Alona are joined by Kenneth Roth, who served as the executive director of Human Rights Watch, the NGO, for almost 30 years. During his tenure, Human Rights Watch uncovered abuses across 100 countries and pressured offending governments to stop them. Ken’s new book, Righting Wrongs , tells this story. On the podcast, he discusses the importance of “shame” in holding governments to account, and explores the attacks on Human Rights Watch over the years, particularly regarding its analysis of Israel’s policies and its findings of apartheid in the occupied territories—criticisms which felt even more personal because of his Jewish heritage.Ken also analyses where progressives are failing, the challenge of identity politics, and whether international law truly has any teeth. To read more on this topic from our website, click here. Ken’s book ‘Righting Wrongs: Three Decades on the Front Lines Battling Abusive Governments’ is available here. Hosted on Acast.

Bonus episode: Why Australia is better than Britain 47:59

منذ 17 يومًا47:59

47:59

Australia is often referred to as “the lucky country”, a place where good fortune has delivered greater wealth, longer lives and better healthcare. But, as Andrew Low argues in We Should Be So Lucky , Australia’s achievements are not merely a matter of luck—they stem from a distinctive blend of political, social and economic institutions and values. Andrew sat down with Sir Clive Cowdery, Publisher of Prospect and Chairman of Resolution Life, to discuss the new book, which is published by Prospect Editions. Drawing on his vast experience in global business and finance and his deep connection to Australia, Andrew offers a compelling analysis of how “The Australian Way” works and why it matters. The book is both a celebration of what Australia has achieved and a guide for other democracies seeking solutions to their own challenges. Prospect Editions is the new book-publishing arm of Prospect magazine. You can find its inaugural title We Should Be So Lucky, here . Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…

Sudanese-born writer and broadcaster Yassmin Abdel-Magied joins Ellen and Alona on this week’s episode of the Prospect podcast. Sudan’s war has been called the “worst humanitarian crisis in the world”. And yet, media coverage is staggeringly low. But is the war really “forgotten”? Or is it being made invisible? Yassmin breaks down the situation for newcomers. She shares her family’s story, and talks about the last time she saw the country, when she travelled there for her wedding. She also discusses how Sudan is connected to regional and global powers, and how countries including the UAE and Saudi Arabia are positioning themselves to benefit from the fallout of the war.

Mehdi Hasan joins the Prospect podcast this week, talking to Prospect ’s Ben Clark about Trump, tech bros, cancel culture and…“Gish galloping”. He opens up about his departure from MSNBC after the network cancelled The Mehdi Hasan Show and discusses his move from mainstream to alternative media, almost a year since founding Zeteo on Substack. Zeteo’s contributors now include Naomi Klein and Greta Thunberg. He criticises the media’s failings, from reporting on Israel’s violence to holding Trump and his acolytes to account, and what he identifies as “anticipatory obedience” to the president. Finally, Mehdi shares advice for young journalists, and reflects on where he finds hope in dark times. Plus, Ellen and Alona talk Valentine’s Day: “banger” or “dud”? Hosted on Acast.

Has Labour abandoned the left? 34:35

منذ 5 weeks34:35

34:35

Would a young Starmer join the Labour party today? Ellen and Alona are joined by Tom Clark, contributing editor at Prospect, who thinks not. From defending misfit environmentalists to denouncing them in the Daily Mail , Starmer’s evolution might dismay some on the left of the party. Once he was a young human rights lawyer and now he is a prime minister punishing MPs for rebelling on child poverty or arming Israel. Tom’s column received some criticism on Bluesky from those who see this as pragmatism befitting the UK's highest political office. But Tom analyses why Starmer’s “strongman” strategy might not be as electorally effective as he hopes. With Labour tanking in the polls, Reform UK is projected to be ahead for the first time. In the upcoming local elections, will Labour be a party for young people? And does this matter? Plus, Ellen and Alona discuss London nightlife: banger or dud?

Exclusive: Top Thinker interview with Eliane Brum 26:16

26:16

In this week’s special episode, we bring you an exclusive interview with Prospect’s World’s Top Thinker of 2025, Brazilian journalist Eliane Brum. Eliane is the author of Banzeiro Òkòtó: The Amazon as the Centre of the World . In 2017, she co-founded Sumaúma, a journalism platform reporting on the Amazon from the inside, which trains young people from urban and indigenous communities. Dialling in from the Amazon rainforest, she spoke to Prospect’s deputy editor Ellen Halliday about her move from the city of São Paulo to the Amazon in 2017, as well as the thinking that underpins her work. Eliane argues that our separation from nature has destroyed our survival instincts and "disconnected [us] from life" itself. She explores why hope isn't actually the key to tackling the climate crisis—and why we should be fighting for life. Plus, Ellen and Alona discuss biopics: banger or dud?

Trump’s inauguration, Musk’s salute and the special relationship 39:16

After Trump’s second inauguration, Ellen and Alona are joined by Labour peer and diplomat Catherine Ashton. Catherine was formerly leader of the House of Lords, as well as the EU's first High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security policy. She shares her experience working with previous US administrations, and what she’s expecting to see from the special relationship. In the past, members of Starmer’s cabinet have called the president a “buffoon” and a “neo-Nazi-sympathising sociopath”. Will this come back to bite them? The president’s choice of inauguration guests (Starmer: out, Giorgia Meloni: in) tellingly shows new alliances being forged with the right wing in Europe. But what will Trump 2.0 mean for European defence? Plus, banger or dud: Ellen and Alona question whether “Blue Monday” is just a marketing gimmick, or something more. Hosted on Acast.

Media Confidential: 2024 in review: From Sanewashing to the Observer sale 44:28

منذ 11 weeks44:28

44:28

For our final episode of 2024, Alan and Lionel look back at their Media Confidential year. They’ve tackled a huge range of stories: from phone-hacking and the rise of AI, to Ofcom’s battles with GB News. They’ve analysed elections on both sides of the Atlantic, were joined by Toby Jones on the Post Office scandal, and heard from courageous reporters working inside Gaza. There’s been an assassination attempt on Donald President, and a crisis at the Washington Post… but which episodes do they find the most memorable? Michael Lewis came to Prospect Towers in September to promote his new book about Sam Bankman-Fried, Going Infinite . But when Alan started reading out criticism of the book, the temperature dropped several degrees. The heated resulting exchange is hard to forget. Ahead of the US election, Rebecca Solnit joined Alan and Lionel to discuss her concerns about the American media “sanewashing” Donald Trump. Finally, James Harding and Carole Cadwalladr recently appeared on the show to tell-all about Tortoise's controversial decision to buy the Observer . James received a grilling from our hosts. Now, with Observer journalists striking, who’s to say who was right? 2025 promises to be a heck of a ride. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…
