Maiden Mother Matriarch with Louise Perry

In this bonus episode, Rob Henderson and I discussed a recent controversial New York Times podcast featuring Hasan Piker and Jia Tolentino speaking in defence of so-called 'microlooting' and other criminality. We spoke about the backlash to this episode and whether the Left is now pivoting away from peak-woke priorities like language policing and towards something more militant and more masculine.

In this bonus episode, I spoke with the Telegraph's Poppy Coburn about the Southport Public Inquiry, and the ideological factors that led state agencies to treat Axel Rudakubana like a victim, rather than a threat to the public. We also spoke about Nottingham killer Valdo Calocane and the protests last week over a gang rape reported in the Surrey town of Epsom.

Nigel Biggar has personal experience of the cultural revolution that has come to the universities of the Anglosphere. In 2017, he found himself in the middle of a heated controversy over a project he was leading on the morality of empire, and he quickly discovered that there are some questions that you are not supposed to ask in universities today.
In a new book, he warns us not to dismiss the culture wars as trivial, or as something that will blow over without any special effort. Nigel sees this, not only as a political conflict, but also as a spiritual one. What is the university actually for? How does one identify what is true and what is not?
Nigel Biggar is Emeritus Regius Professor of Moral Theology at the University of Oxford, and last year he entered the House of Lords as a Conservative peer. His new book is titled ‘The New Dark Age: Why Liberals Must Win the Culture Wars.’

It's safe to say that Zoe Strimpel and I don't entirely agree on whether the sexual revolution was a good thing for women. Where I have a somewhat tragic analysis of the trade offs inherent to our new sexual culture, Zoeargues that women have never had it so good. Her new book, titled 'Good Slut', is a passionate defence of sexual freedom, including of promiscuity and hedonism. In today's episode, we debate the consequences of the sexual revolution.
