Talk about making a drama out of a political crisis. If there's one man who's turned the defining moments of our age into hits on stage and screen, it's James Graham.
The writer behind This House, Brexit: The Uncivil War, Quiz and Best of Enemies talks to Matt about using drama to create a public square for opposing political views, and why he won't be writing an epic operetta about Liz Truss.
Plus India Knight and James Marriott on the Americanisation of British journalism podcasts and their plans for retirement.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
