In Conversation with Jon Sopel

In Conversation with Jon Sopel

Explore post-Brexit Britain and what it means to British with Jon Sopel, renowned British journalist, bestselling author, political insider and presenter of the chart-topping podcast The News Agents. 

In 2022, after eight years of reporting from the heart of American politics, Jon returned home to find the UK drastically altered. Live in conversation, he will dissect the political upheavals, societal shifts, and cultural nuances that have left Britain in a state of flux. 

With his characteristic wit and clarity, Jon will offer a personal exploration of the changes that have reshaped his homeland, and what it now means to be British. He will pose probing questions about identity, belonging and the evolution of a nation. Has the country he grew up in dramatically changed? Has he? Perhaps it’s both. 

Don’t miss this unsparing and wry analysis of the politics, policy and people that have shaped and shaken Britain. You'll also have the chance to ask your own questions. 


Jon will be joined by James O'Brien in Richmond, Lewis Goodall in London, and Kirsty Wark in Edinburgh.


For those who are unable to attend the live show, the event at The Forum, Bath on 25 September will be live streamed via Fane Online. Worldwide viewing is available and the stream will be available for one week on demand after the initial broadcast, so you can watch at anytime if the initial broadcast time doesn't suit your timezone.
