Summary

Broadcasting legend and former Question Time host DAVID DIMBLEBY dives into the undiscovered weeds of the Iraq War on his new podcast The Fault Line. He talks to Ian Dunt about the fatal relationship between Bush and Blair, how Iraq began the poisoning of western politics – plus what it’s like presenting election nights, and whether the QT audience really was biased. “When the facts turn against you as a politician, it’s very difficult to abandon the course you’ve set yourself.” “Fatally, Bush and Blair accepted the evidence of a charlatan.” “Social media provides the megaphone, and you have to speak up all the time…doubt, hesitation, and moderation aren’t relevant” Presented by Ian Dunt. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producer Jacob Archbold. Music by Kenny Dickinson. Audio production by Alex Rees.
