Do the stories we tell ourselves shape our destiny? And what do stories say about us? Lyse Doucet, the BBC’s Chief International Correspondent and senior presenter, considers Joan Didion’s famous quote: “We tell ourselves stories in order to live.”
Doucet and guests explore the global shift in finding ourselves through stories, borrowing narratives from many sources, escaping from the daily bombardment of negative news and shifting to podcasts, long form narratives, to frame our own sense of self. Doucet is joined by Matt Frei, Europe Editor and Presenter at Channel 4 News; media mogul and Director of the MOBY group, Saad Mohseni; and producer, presenter and author Beaty Rubens.
