  • Lamorna Ash: A New Generation's Search for Religion

    Lamorna Ash: A New Generation's Search for Religion
    Apr 23 2025
    My guest on this week’s Book Club podcast is Lamorna Ash, author of Don’t Forget We’re Here Forever: A New Generation’s Search for Religion. She describes to me how a magazine piece about some young friends who made a dramatic conversion to Christianity turned into an investigation into the rise in faith among a generation that many assumed would be the most secular yet — and into a personal journey towards religious belief.

  • Philippe Sands: 38 Londres Street – On Impunity, Pinochet in England and a Nazi in Patagonia

    Philippe Sands: 38 Londres Street – On Impunity, Pinochet in England and a Nazi in Patagonia
    Apr 16 2025
    Sam Leith’s guest on this week’s Book Club podcast is the lawyer and writer Philippe Sands, whose new book 38 Londres Street describes the legal and diplomatic tussle over the potential extradition of the former Chilean dictator General Pinochet. Philippe tells Sam why the case was such an important one in legal history, and presents new evidence suggesting that the General’s release to Chile on health grounds may have been part of a behind-the-scenes stitch-up between the UK and Chilean governments. He sets out some of that evidence and pushes back on our reviewer Jonathan Sumption’s scepticism about the case. Here’s an old case, but not yet a cold case.
    Produced by Oscar Edmondson and Patrick Gibbons.

  • Fara Dabhoiwala: What Is Free Speech?

    Fara Dabhoiwala: What Is Free Speech?
    Apr 9 2025
    My guest on this week's Book Club podcast is Fara Dabhoiwala, whose new book What Is Free Speech? The History of a Dangerous Idea looks not just at the origins of free speech as an idea, but also its uses and misuses. Fara tells me the bizarre story of how he found himself ‘cancelled’, gives us the scoop on who actually invented free speech and explains how to think more deeply about free speech as a global as well as a local question – by tracing how we got into our current predicaments.
