Melvyn Bragg Meets Misha Glenny

Before Misha Glenny’s first edition on 15th January, BBC Radio 4’s flagship news programme Today has brought Melvyn Bragg and Misha Glenny together so they can share their ideas about In Our Time’s success and discuss what, if anything, will change with Misha. While Justin Webb chaired this discussion, here you will hear Melvyn introduce it and at the end he has a message for Misha and for listeners around the world. This is a longer version of the discussion broadcast on Today on Radio 4 on Christmas Eve 2025 which was produced by Jade Bogart-Preleur, when Melvyn Bragg was the guest editor.
