5 podcasts and our 10 principles on the BBC

Timothy Garton Ash introduces his BBC broadcasts and online version of the Free Speech Debate principles.

In spring 2016 I did a series of five radio talks for BBC Radio 4 on aspects of free speech, drawing on this website and the work for my book.

You can find all the talks here:

Oxygen of Freedom

I’m Offended

Respect Me, Respect My Religion

Media We Need

Big Brother is Watching
