The legendary BBC broadcaster, interviewer, and documentary maker David Dimbleby is one of the country’s most celebrated journalists. And his series for Radio 4’s The History Podcast, Invisible Hands, did something that many may have not thought possible: it turned a complicated idea - the free market revolution - into the most gripping of tales, which began with a dogfight above our skies during World War 2, and ended, somewhat ignominiously, with the parlous state of Britain’s rivers today.
And he’s back, with a new series, this time, telling the story of how the USA became the global superpower in the twentieth century - and where it has gone since. This session will see David interviewed about his life, his work, and his new season of Invisible Hands.
