During a special live recording of Take Me Home at this year's Battle of Ideas Festival, Hilary and Sebastian are joined by Jennie Bristow and Ellie Lee, authors of Growing Up in the Culture Wars.

They explore fraying generational bonds and the factors such as work, sex and politics that shape young people’s transition into adulthood. What lies behind the cultural obsession with identity that incites teenagers and emerging adults to prize fashionable badges of personal validation? Is there a viable route to restoring generational health in society

Hilary and Sebastian are joined by Maren Thom, co-host of Performance Anxiety, to discuss what our films, television and stories tell us about the culture we share. From the unexpected popularity of The Odyssey to historical accuracy and modern assumptions about the past, we explore whether we’ve lost our common cultural reference points, and what happens when we try to remake history in our own image.

At a time when politics feels so divisive, and people seem to be operating on an alternative set of facts, the Left and Right are no longer capable of providing answers to Britain’s problems.

Hilary Salt and Sebastian Moore attempt to rebuild the political by making sense of what's happening in Britain, and exploring if there is a place once more for the politically homeless.
