Hello, I'm Rory Stewart, and I'd like to tell you about an intelligent squared event I'm doing with the classicist, author and broadcaster Mary Beard.

In-person tickets are now sold out, but you can can still watch online on the 13th

In episode one, we were joined by Reeves Wideman, author of the new book, Billion Dollar Loser,
