Summary

Sebastian and Hilary are joined by sociologist and author Frank Furedi to discuss his book In Defence of Populism. They explore what populism actually means, why it is so often misunderstood, and how it relates to democracy, identity, and representation. The conversation also touches on elite culture, education, and the growing sense that many people feel politically unheard.
