-Why liberalism is still the best approach 

-Why both the left and right should embrace free speech

-Whether wokeness is a left or right wing movement

-The difference between political correctness and woke

-How the woke 'mistake change for progress'

-Why the woke movement is like the Salem witch trials 

-Why some people can see through woke hysteria  

-Andrew's views on Covid, and whether he was ‘silent’ on the issue, as some claim  

-His views on Andrew Bridgen vs Spiked

-How some of the anti-woke side are becoming as dogmatic as the woke 

-His thoughts on Ofcom 

-What it’s like working with John Cleese

-How he is so productive (although he claims he is not!)
