Darren McGarvey: on storytelling
Saison 1 · Épisode 5
mercredi 22 octobre 2025 • Durée 59:42
Scottish writer, rapper, and Orwell Prize-winning social commentator Darren McGarvey - on resilience, responsibility and the radical power of self-awareness:
"When you become publicly identified with a certain story, you may at some point feel a certain kind of pressure to live up to the reputation that now precedes you."
Darren joins Shami Chakrabarti in the Speakeasy to talk trauma, class, masculinity and the dangers of the “oversharing” age.
From Poverty Safari to Trauma Industrial Complex, Darren's writing has challenged Britain to face uncomfortable truths about inequality and the exploitation of pain.
In the Speakeasy, he reflects on his recovery, his creative evolution, and why social media has made us both more connected and more fragile.
Darren McGarvey’s new book, Trauma Industrial Complex, is out now. Get it here or in your locally-owned bookshop.

Asma Khan: on food
Saison 1 · Épisode 4
mardi 14 octobre 2025 • Durée 01:08:57
Asma Khan: "Food sits in your DNA, close to your skin, connected to your heart. Your ancestors have blessed you. Be proud."
Celebrated chef and activist Asma Khan brings spice to the Speakeasy, joining Shami Chakrabarti to explore the intersections of food, feminism, and justice.
From law student to celebrated chef, Asma's journey is one of empowerment, resilience, and culinary rebellion.
Make no mistake: food is political, and noone understands that better than Asma Khan.
Asma Khan's children's book, A Kid's Book About Food, is out now. For children aged 5-9, it's about how food is much more than what fuels our bodies; when we prepare food, no matter how big or small, we share something of ourselves with those around us.
Find A Kid's Book About Food online here, or in your locally owned book shop.

Baroness Hale: on law
Saison 1 · Épisode 3
mardi 7 octobre 2025 • Durée 01:02:43
Baroness Hale: “The law can do things for you as well as to you.”
Baroness Brenda Hale was given the tabloid nickname 'the spider woman' when, in 2019, she declared Boris Johnson's prorogation of Parliament to be ‘unlawful, void and of no effect’ - and did so wearing an eye-catching spider brooch.
She served as the first female president of the UK's supreme court. She was the first woman, and the youngest person, to be appointed to the Law Commission. In 2004, she became the UK’s first woman law lord.
In the Speakeasy, she talks with Shami about keeping justice working for everyone, not just the powerful.
The pair also talk about what happens when we forget that the law protects as well as punishes, and why leaving the European Convention on Human Rights would be a disaster for ordinary people?
And, as a prominent 'first woman', what does it mean to hold the door open for the women who come next?
Baroness Brenda Hale's book With The Law on Our Side is out now and published by Penguin. Find it in your local independently-owned book store or online here.
