Read Smart Podcast Live

Join Baillie Gifford Prize Director Toby Mundy and last year’s Prize winner John Vaillant for a special Hay Festival edition of the Read Smart podcast, recorded live. Together with a line-up of special guests, they explore crucial topics often overshadowed by mainstream news. While the media fixates on one monolithic story after another – Brexit, COVID, Ukraine, Gaza – what vital news remains overlooked elsewhere? During the event we’ll gather suggestions from speakers and the audience. The most compelling ideas will shape a future episode of the Read Smart podcast.
