  • C. Thi Nguyen: How To Stop Playing Someone Else’s Game

    C. Thi Nguyen: How To Stop Playing Someone Else’s Game
    Jan 7 2026

    In this week’s Book Club podcast, my guest is the philosophy professor C. Thi Nguyen, whose new book The Score: How To Stop Playing Someone Else’s Game asks why rules and scores and metrics are so liberating in games, yet so deadening in real life. He tells me about the societal perils of our growing dependence on quantitative information, what Aristotle got right, and what yo-yos can tell us about the meaning of life.

  • Speaker series: Bernard Cornwell – Sharpe's Storm

    Speaker series: Bernard Cornwell – Sharpe's Storm
    Dec 17 2025

    The Spectator’s associate editor Toby Young sits down with master storyteller Bernard Cornwell, author of more than 50 international bestselling novels, including The Last Kingdom and much-loved Sharpe series. They delve into Cornwell’s life and career, discuss the real history behind his riveting tales of war and heroism and explore the enduring appeal of historical fiction. This event marks the launch of Sharpe’s Storm, a bold new chapter in the saga of Richard Sharpe, set amid the chaos of 1813 France.

    This discussion was part of The Spectator's speaker series. To see more on our upcoming events – including an Americano Live and a post-Budget briefing – go to events.spectator.co.uk.
