Churchill: The Politician with Nine Lives
This year sees the anniversary of Winston Churchill’s death (1965), his greatest triumph (VE Day/1945) and his greatest disaster (Gallipoli/1915).
Who was the real Churchill? Hero, villain, soldier, statesman, imperialist, rebel, visionary, throwback, myth?
Curious Minds is thrilled to welcome Past Present Future podcast host David Runciman and special guest historian Robert Saunders to Bath for a lively discussion that will consider how one man's political career could encompass so many twists and turns of fortune. They'll also explore what the endless arguments surrounding his reputation reveal about the state of Britain then and now.
Past Present Future is a weekly podcast with David Runciman, host of Talking Politics, exploring the history of ideas from politics to philosophy, culture to technology. David talks to historians, novelists, scientists and many others about where the most interesting ideas come from, what they mean, and why they matter.
Curious Minds: a festival to ignite ideas (March 2025) is an eclectic mix of book talks, podcast shows, film screening, workshops, live performances and walks designed to inform, challenge, entertain and connect.
