from July 11, 2022 to August 31, 2022

Crossing Channels is a podcast series produced jointly by the Bennett Institute for Public Policy, University of Cambridge, and the Institute for Advanced Study in Toulouse (IAST). It aims to offer interdisciplinary perspectives on significant challenges facing society today.

Episode 10: What can political leaders learn from history?
Rory Cellan-Jones talks to expert guests Lucy Delap (University of Cambridge) and Victor Gay (IAST/TSE member) about how lessons from history can inform policymaking today. They discuss what the recession in the 1970s  can tell us about government response to the current cost-of-living crisis, and what the 1918 Spanish Flu can tell us about dealing with a pandemic.
