    330: An interview with Charlie Hebdo’s Gérard Biard
    This is the audio from a video we have just published on our YouTube channel – an interview with Gérard Biard. To make sure you never miss great content like this, subscribe to our channel:  

    On 7 January 2015, two Islamist terrorists, armed with Kalashnikovs, burst into the offices of Charlie Hebdo. 12 people were murdered, eight of them writers and cartoonists at the left-wing, satirical newspaper. Charlie’s supposed crime? It had published cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad. The massacre sparked outpourings of solidarity, but also a cowardly, censorious backlash. Many decried the killings, but decried Charlie’s supposed ‘provocations’, too. 10 years on from the massacre, spiked went to Paris to meet with Gérard Biard, Charlie’s editor-in-chief. We discussed the attack, the fight for free speech and the crucial importance of courage.

    328: ‘The scale of censorship is insane’ | Greg Lukianoff on Britain’s speech police
    This is the audio from a video we have just published on our YouTube channel – an interview with Greg Lukianoff. To make sure you never miss great content like this, subscribe to our channel:  

    Is the UK a free country any more? An estimated nine people per day are arrested for making offensive comments online. In fact, more people had their collars felt in Britain for speech crimes in 2015 and 2016 than were arrested in the US during the entirety of First Red Scare. Here, Greg Lukianoff – president of the US’s Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression – warns that laws against so-called hate speech, and the elite panic over ‘misinformation’, have given licence to the British state to trample on our liberties. He also discusses the Trumpian threat to free speech, the explosion of campus censorship in the wake of the Israel-Hamas war, and what it really means to ‘incite violence’.

    325: Why Trump won the working class | Michael Lind
    This is the audio from a video we have just published on our YouTube channel – an interview with Michael Lind. To make sure you never miss great content like this, subscribe to our channel:  

    A month on from Trump’s seismic victory, Democrats are still in denial about the significance of their defeat. Party elites think slicker messaging alone can claw back lost support. Here, Michael Lind – author of Hell to Pay and The New Class War – explains why this is so delusional. Identitarianism, illegal immigration and green extremism made America ripe for a populist revolt. Lind also weighs in on the tensions in the MAGA movement and the farmers’ protests in Europe.
