#PodcastOfIdeas: Battle of Ideas special

Trigger warning: 'If you're easily offended you really shouldn't come.' - Claire Fox

With just a few days to go before the Institute’s annual Battle of Ideas at the Barbican in London, Rob Lyons, Claire Fox and David Bowden get together to talk about what makes the festival unique and why it’s an unapologetically unsafe space where ideas are fought over and contested, as well as discussing some of the sessions they’re looking forward to most.

To find out more about this weekend’s festival and buy tickets visit the Battle of Ideas website.
