Educated is the podcast where inspirational, influential, intellectual guests map the trajectories of their lives. Hosted by David Cotter, these conversations reveal education not as a utilitarian pursuit, but as lifelong engagement with culture.
In this episode, David talked to Claire about her formative experiences: growing up in Wales, exploring politics at university, discovering the importance of education for its own sake as an English teacher, writing for Living Marxism, publishing LM Magazine, founding the Academy of Ideas, and becoming a Baroness.
