“PETER YORK’S CULTURE WARS HOUSE PARTY” podcast is all about Peter’s cultural preoccupations which range from how political Culture Wars are waged, to the reputational currency of clever celebrities, to the best sources of suede loafers in St James’s. He’ll be hosting people he admires and people he wants to argue with and people who like to natter about the correct placement of buttons.
Peter York is the author of “Dead Cat – Culture Wars and how not to lose them.” However, his influence extends back to the 1970s, where he pioneered the role of ‘style editor’ at Harpers and Queen magazine, alongside co-author Ann Barr. Together, they penned the era-defining sensation, “The Official Sloane Ranger’s Handbook,” which became the bestselling trade book of the 1980s.
Throughout the decades, Peter has continued to leave his mark on the cultural landscape. He’s authored numerous books and presented several TV programs, including the nostalgic gem “Peter York’s Eighties” in the 1990s.
More recently, Peter has shifted towards more serious subjects, tackling issues such as “The War Against the BBC,” co-authored with Professor Patrick Barwise, and the thought-provoking “Authenticity is a Con.”
Join us as we explore the multifaceted world of Peter York and his enduring contributions to cultural discourse.

Welcome to the first episode of my new podcast, “PETER YORK’S CULTURE WARS HOUSE PARTY.” There’s some serious stuff here, but we’re also having a bit of fun along the way. This podcast is all about my cultural preoccupations, from how political Culture Wars are waged—and yes, do check out my latest book, A Dead Cat On Your Table — to the reputational currency of clever celebrities, and, of course, the eternal quest for the best suede loafers in St James’s.
In this first episode, I'm joined by Michael Wolff, the journalist and bestselling author behind the Trump White House trilogy—Fire and Fury, Siege, and Landslide. These books offered an unprecedented, often jaw-dropping look into the chaos and intrigue of Donald Trump’s presidency. He's also written the definitive biography of Rupert Murdoch The Man Who Owns the News. Michael shares his insights on another Donald Trump presidency, Elon Musk, the Tech Billionaires, and the potential revelations from his recordings of the late Jeffrey Epstein.
“Right now we have two kings of the world in the same room together.” – Elon Musk and Donald Trump – “That is not a prescription for success for one of the kings.”
