Kathleen Wyatt is a speechwriter, journalist and editor. She spent sixteen years as a columnist and reviewer at The Times and speaks six languages!
Her book, The Social Superpower: The Big Truth About Little Lies, includes interviews with spies, psychologists and a former al-Qaeda bombmaker in the hope of uncovering why it is that we lie, often innately.
In this episode, we discuss why Kathleen felt compelled to write a book about lies, her professional opinion on Boris Johnson’s lying to Parliament and which person she would like to perform a lie detector test on.
