The Len McCluskey One

<p>Nick Robinson talks to people who shape our political thinking about what shaped theirs.

The people who run our country (and those who want to), campaigners, business and union leaders, and people who run other countries. All of them join Nick in the studio, not for a news-y interrogation, but for an extended and relaxed conversation, delving into their past and how it shaped their worldview.
 
New episodes drop on Fridays on BBC Sounds.  You can also watch them on BBC Two at 12:15pm on Fridays or on BBC iPlayer.  And you can listen on BBC Radio 4 on Saturdays at 17:30.</p>
