LEFT/OVER Episode 10. - Guardians of the Galaxy Brains feat. Dawn Foster

This week we are joined by a very special guest, author and journalist Dawn Foster, to discuss the gatekeepers of British liberalism, The Guardian newspaper. We delve into the mythology of The Guardian, from its origins with the Peterloo Massacre to CP Scott's 'A Hundred Years' essay, its rise to global prominence in the digital age, and the various ways it shat the bed during the Corbyn years, including Dawn's dismissal after writing that Tom Watson article. All the while taking a detour through the Guardian's short-lived Shoreditch coffee shop. #GuardianCoffee. An enormous thanks to Dawn particularly for making sure this episode could still go ahead despite the very serious issues during recording.
