BBC Radio 4: In Our Time

In Our Time will be recording at Hay Festival for the first time, its debut at any festival, offering you a rare chance to see new host Misha Glenny and his three academic guests in action. From its start in 1998 with Melvyn Bragg as host, In Our Time has become essential listening for millions around the world and is one of the BBC’s crown jewels, appearing weekly on BBC Radio 4 and always available on BBC Sounds. Misha Glenny brings his deep experience of international affairs and culture to the programme and in this edition he and his guests will be exploring a topic from history for broadcast later in the week.
