The world’s leading thinkers, politicians and cultural figures interviewed by the BBC

Find out what the world’s leading thinkers, politicians and cultural figures really think, as they talk about their lives for thirty minutes on The Interview.

***The Interview is no longer broadcast on-air but you can listen to our archive below.***

A half hour interview with interesting and prominent people from around the world with a great range of interests and opinions. Each week, one person is put under the spotlight by either Owen Bennett-Jones or Carrie Gracie, the two presenters on The Interview.  

They explore topical issues, personal motivation and interviewee's hopes and fears. The style is informal and conversational, but at times searching and combative when required.

Carrie Gracie with the best of her guests from The Interview in 2009 -- from billionaires to police chiefs, from artists to paleontogists

Carrie Gracie looks back at some of the best of her guests on the programme in 2009. 
There's drama, danger ... and fossils, as we hear from the police chief who foiled a major bomb plot, the billionaire who wants to encourage good leaders and the politician who was caught paying for sex with a prostitute -- oh and the paleontologist who found a 47-million-year-old arboreal quadruped.
