Trailer: Series 10 of Reading Our Times

Reading Our Times is back for its 10th series but this time, with a twist...

Nick Spencer explores themes surrounding the West – its roots, its contours, and its future.

Series 10 looks at the future of democracy with Jonathan Sumption, at the future of growth with Richard Douglas, and the future of Christianity with Rupert Shortt. Lucy Ash unpacks the threat from Putin and the ever-supportive Orthodox Church.

The series asks the big questions about children, about choice and its deification, and about sex and religion with Diarmaid Macculloch.

Next week, episode 1 gives an overview of the future of the West – or rather of the prospect of Westlessness – with Samir Puri.

Tune in weekly from 27 May. Find Reading Our Times on all podcasting platforms.
