Lord Andrew Roberts: How Churchill shows us the power of history and its heroes

Are the English-speaking-peoples still bound together, as we were during the greatest struggles of the 20th century?

On this week’s Afternoon Light Georgina Downer speaks with Andrew Roberts, fresh off delivering the 2026 Menzies Oration, for a wide-ranging discussion exploring the enduring importance of the Anglosphere family of nations, why Churchill continues to capture our imaginations, and the importance of heroes in inspiring a new generation to realise their capacity to shape history.
