Start the day at Hay Festival with headline guests chaired by editors from The Independent reviewing the news, discussing the headlines and issues of the day, and revealing what’s breaking and trending online. A fascinating look at what’s tickling the nation’s fancy – and driving it to splenetic fury. Bring your coffee!
Among today’s guests are Professor of Black Studies at Birmingham City University Kehinde Andrews, author of The New Age of Empire, and award-winning director Havana Marking, whose documentary Undercover: Exposing the Far Right is screening at the Festival on 28 May. Foster is a circadian neuroscientist, studying the sleep cycles of the brain. He is author of Life Time, a book about the body clock. They talk to The Independent's Senior Features Writer, Helen Coffey.
