In this episode, Terence is joined by director of Chelgate Consulting, James Monckton (www.linkedin.com/in/james-monckton-91aa5240/) and Communications and Public Affairs consultant, Dr Drew Manns (www.linkedin.com/in/drewman/). As usual, they are looking at the interviews battled through, the arguments waged and the debates fought out, and they are not taking sides. They won’t agree or disagree. Their interest is in the art of persuasion. Who made their case best?  Who did worst?  How and why? This time the first Johnson/ Corbyn debate and the Prince Andrew interview are unavoidable topics for the team’s forensic examination.

Our wonderful introductory music is with kind permission of the London Symphony Orchestra. It’s from Carl Ditters von Dittersdorf’s Double Bass Concerto, originally written in E flat Major but performed here a semitone lower.  Rinat Ibragimov, the LSO’s principal double bass of the London Symphony Orchestra, together with Catherine Edwards.
