Radical with Amol Rajan

BBC Radio 4

Are you tired of the same old political debates that go in circles without offering real solutions? Radical with Amol Rajan is the antidote to stagnant thinking. In this thought-provoking series, journalist Amol Rajan invites the world’s most daring thinkers—from world-class economists and visionary urban planners to legendary entrepreneurs—to test ideas that push the boundaries of the status quo. The show is driven by a simple but powerful premise: what if we reimagined the fundamental systems that govern our lives? Across the episodes, the conversation ranges from the bold architecture of brand-new cities and the ethics of modern capitalism to the science of wellbeing and the survival of the Great British pub. Whether he is unpacking the doughnut economics of Kate Raworth or debating the future of healthcare with Professor Sir John Bell, Rajan challenges his guests to move beyond surface-level analysis. What makes Radical stand out is its commitment to optimism and curiosity. The show features a brilliant hybrid format that blends deep-dive interviews with the "Your Radical Questions" series, where listeners directly challenge the experts. It is a space for big-picture ambition, where the goal isn't just to critique the way things are, but to explore how they could be better. If you are looking for a show that prioritizes human flourishing over political point-scoring, join Amol Rajan as he searches for a smarter, bolder way forward.
