Read Smart Podcast Live

Join Monocle Radio Books Editor Georgina Godwin and last year’s Prize winner John Vaillant for a special Hay Festival edition of the Read Smart podcast, recorded live. Together with special guests geographer Danny Dorling and Compassion in Politics founder Jennifer Nadel, they explore crucial topics often overshadowed by mainstream news. While the media fixates on one monolithic story after another – Brexit, COVID, Ukraine, Gaza – what vital news remains overlooked elsewhere? During the event we’ll gather suggestions from speakers and the audience. The most compelling ideas will shape a future episode of the Read Smart podcast.
