| 6/23/26 |  10-year anniversary: an optimistic take - The UK's Long March back to Europe? | On the 10th anniversary of the UK's fateful Brexit vote, I wanted to re-issue a conversation I recorded back in November 2023 with the leader of the European Movement, Dr Mike Galsworthy - a scientist, campaigner and passionate European about how we might rejoin the EU. We cover a lot of ground and we started with the impact of Brexit on science - Mike’s professional calling, before moving on to discuss the future and how Britain might think about reversing Brexit and rejoining the EU. You can follow Mike on BlueSky https://bsky.app/profile/mikegalsworthy.bsky.social The European Movement can be found here: https://www.europeanmovement.co.uk/ Check out our Bookshop.org affiliate site behindthelines and please sign up for my substack at arthursnell.substack.com and/or follow me on Bluesky @snellarthur.bsky.social.

| 6/17/26 | BTL Exclusive: George Osborn on how authoritarians are exploiting the world of video games to geopolitical advantage. | It was my pleasure to speak to George Osborn, expert on video games, about how this artform, which is used by over 3 billion people worldwide, has been weaponised and exploited by extremists, populists and authoritarians. I confess to knowing nothing about video games, but found this whole subject fascinating and I hope you do too.
