Cosmo Landesman, Journalist and Cultural Commentator, on Dodging the Culture Wars

Cosmo Landesman is a mature journalist and cultural commentator and a "conscientious objector" to the heated political debates of our time.

We explore his experiences in Islington's media circles, his evolution from the bohemian 80s where "a canon of good taste" existed to today's polarised media environment, and his nuanced views on political debate, social media, and preferring dessert over discourse.

From his work with the Modern Review, keeping "debauchery away from Uncle Peter," to his current writing for the Spectator, we explore how political conversations have changed, the role of media in shaping public opinion, and whether it's possible to have "ghastly" friends.
