Guest: Douglas Murray
Episode summary
Douglas Murray is a journalist, author and an associate editor of The Spectator. What is the price of thinking out loud about the most inflammatory topics of our age? Gay, Women, Race & Trans make up the four chapters of The Madness Of Crowds and today Douglas jumps feet first into all of them. Expect to learn which chapters Douglas could have added to the book but didn’t, how the LGBTQ community are less united than you may think, why we should be skeptical about the number of gay stories in the press, why Piers Morgan seems to be in the middle of so many controversies, what Douglas thinks about Nicki Minaj shaking her butt in everyone's face and why the demands of men by women may be totally unrealistic.
