Diversity of opinion, thought-provoking debate, and comedy from many voices new to Radio 4

Diversity of opinion, thought-provoking debate and comedy. Andrew Doyle talks to Billy Bragg about cancel culture, and comedy from Rosie Wilby, Wilson Milton, and Tadiwa Mahlunge.

Following a successful pilot, Unsafe Space returns for a full series. Stylistically fresh-sounding, provocative, unorthodox comedy and debate for the open-minded that firmly ticks the box marked ‘thinking outside of other boxes'.   

Unsafe Space embraces diversity – especially diversity of opinion across the socio-economic divide.  It's a brand new format where comedy meets thought-provoking debate and discussion. 

This week, Andrew Doyle talks to Billy Bragg about cancel culture, with comedy from Rosie Wilby, Wilson Milton, Jake Yapp, Tadiwa Mahlunge, Larry and Paul, and Jake Yapp. Meanwhile Simon Evans tackles diversity and inclusion with Marcus Ryder of the Sir Lenny Henry Centre for Media Diversity, and a right wing broadsheet opinion writer gets their column set to music. 

With thanks to Andy Shaw and Comedy Unleashed.
