Inside Policy TalksHelen Joyce: how gender ideology gripped the WestOn this episode, we tackle one of the most contested—and consequential—issues in public life: the rise of gender ideology and the erasure of biological sex. Over the past decade, the idea that gender is self-declared and disconnected from biology has reshaped our laws, schools, medical systems, and public discourse. But there’s growing pushback. In the United Kingdom, we’ve seen a remarkable reversal against this institutional capture. The shift has come through court challenges, investigative journalism, and public inquiry. To unpack this, Helen Joyce—journalist, editor, and author of Trans: When Ideology Meets Reality—joins the podcast. Joy...

The Archive ProjectHelen Macdonald (Rebroadcast)In this episode of The Archive Project, we feature Helen Macdonald from an online Portland Arts & Lectures event in October 2020. Helen Macdonald is a multitalented naturalist, illustrator, writer, and historian of science at the University of Cambridge. She has worked as a professional falconer and has assisted with raptor research and conservation projects across Eurasia.

In The Book CaveHelen McDonaldHelen MacDonald deals with the dead. Fascinated by the macabre history of anatomy and dissection, her books trace the origins of industry from the villainous bodysnatchers, Burke and O’Hare, to the modern-day antics of the gruesome showman, Gunther von Hagens. Helen is intrigued by people’s response to the dead and to the bodies they leave behind and this interview was mesmerising. Helen raises many questions about death and its physical aftermath and brings to light several awful episodes in both British and Australian history. A great guest In the Book Cave.

She is also the winner of the Costa Award and the Samuel Johnson Prize for Non-Fiction for H is for Hawk, a chronicle of her attempt to tame Mabel the goshawk as a means of assuaging grief after the death of her father. “Grief,” she writes, “is just love with nowhere to go.” Referencing the similar attempts of T.
