Harry and Meghan interview with Oprah, 7 Mar 2021

Zoe and Tom pick over the interview and its reception, considering the couple's claims to victimhood and their path to 'authenticity', and chewing over the biggest casualties of the interview in the Royal family. They brooch race and class, wondering how, in the rush for righteous blame, the latter somehow seems to get lost, along with any thought for the British taxpayer. Something for everyone. Well, perhaps not everyone.

A podcast for the culturally curious that turns a critical eye on some of the most-hyped plays, books, films and music in recent years and asks where they came from and what they tell us about culture today. Zoe Strimpel is a historian of gender and intimacy, Sunday Telegraph columnist and sincere contrarian. Tom Stammers is a fair-minded historian of 19th century France and a lecturer in European history at Durham University - who nonetheless knows how to turn the screw when necessary. They've been yammering about culture together since university.
