Off Script is a series of long-form conversations that step away from the day’s headlines to examine the deeper currents shaping our public life. Host Steven Edginton, from The Telegraph, brings together influential thinkers and writers for extended, candid discussions that challenge prevailing narratives. The podcast deliberately avoids soundbites, creating a space where complex and often contentious ideas about society, politics, and identity can be explored in detail. Each episode feels like a proper conversation, one where guests have the time to articulate their views fully, whether discussing the mechanics of public discourse, shifts in cultural norms, or the underlying philosophies driving contemporary debates. These are not debates but deep dives, offering listeners a chance to hear nuanced perspectives that are frequently simplified elsewhere. You’ll find the rhythm of this podcast is thoughtful and substantive, released every Friday for those who prefer their analysis unpacked rather than packaged. It’s for anyone who feels the most important discussions are happening just off the main stage, in the spaces where conviction meets conversation. This is a production from The Telegraph, hosted on Acast.
