Season 1/Episode 2: Why Talk About Peace? Introducing Hope 80

Award-winning journalist and master storyteller Adrian Beckingham brings together five extraordinary voices from around the world - united by remembrance, activism, and an unshakable commitment to peace.

Guests include:

  • Ven. Ryokyu Endo – Founder of the Flame of Hope, a sacred fire lit from the ashes of Hiroshima
  • Lawrence Lefcort – Executive Director of Flame of Hope International, working to ignite compassion across continents
  • Lucy Sandys – Great-granddaughter of Winston Churchill, and a peace delegate with HOPE80
  • Alice Dalsass – European Ambassador for the Flame of Hope, advocating for intergenerational peace
  • Jennifer Teege – Black granddaughter of Nazi Commandant Amon Göth, whose life story bridges trauma and healing. You can find Jennifer's book, 'My Grandfather Would Have Shot Me' via her website: https://www.jenniferteege.de/

Together, they explore their personal journeys, the legacy of war, and the responsibility we all share to build peace in the present.

As they prepare to meet the Pope, appear at Glastonbury Festival, and lead a peace tour through Japan for the 80th anniversary of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, this episode asks:

"If a child born 80 years from now were to hear this conversation, what would you most want them to understand about peace?"

This is more than a conversation—it’s a call to action, a living archive of human hope.
