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. Together we'll be discussing

politics and power from the Caesars to Sunack, who gets to Winpar, who is excluded. Does power

always corrupt, or are there examples of leaders who've maintained their integrity while an

authority? And how does the nature of power vary across different times and cultures? These are

just some of the questions that Mary and I will be trying to answer. In person tickets are now

sold out, but you can still watch online on the 13th of November at 7pm BST. Put your questions

to us live as we discuss power and politics down the ages. Hello podcast listeners, I'm Connor

and welcome to this week's episode of Intelligent Squared. Today we're joined by the New Yorkers Evan

Osnose, who in conversation with Mark Mardel discussed what we need to know about President Joe Biden,

whether he is a radical or a moderate, and looking back on his first 100 days of office,

what can we learn about how he will approach big foreign policy issues on Russia, China, Taiwan,

and the issue which has been at the forefront of his administration climate change. It's a really

fascinating conversation, and if you do enjoy it, you can find a link for Evan's book, Joe Biden,

American Dreamer, in the podcast description. But now let's go to the episode.

Hello and welcome to this Intelligent Squared plus event with me, Mark Mardel. Tomorrow Joe Biden

will address both houses of Congress. Remember it's not the State of the Union, we don't call it

that at this stage, and on Friday he'll see in past an iconic landmark of the first 100 days

in office, so I'm especially delighted to introduce our guest tonight, Evan Osnose.

Put its surprise winning journalist and staff writer at the New Yorker. He's the former Beijing

Bureau Chief of the Chicago Tribune and a regular guest on NPR's Fresh Air and PBS newser,

and he's also the author of this book, Joe Biden, American Dreamer. Welcome, Evan.
