The Two Matts

SPECIAL with Misan Harriman: Under attack from the UK’s right wing press

Listen on

Episode notes

The Matts speak with Misan Harriman, the chair of Britain’s largest arts and culture institution, the Southbank Centre. Misan has been under persistent attack from much of the UK’s right wing media - all for something he didn’t say. It’s an extraordinary and ugly case study in how the press in Britain work. But, perhaps, in Misan Harriman they’ve bitten off more than they can chew. Enjoy the podcast - but prepare to have your blood boil.
