After the news at 6 on Radio 4 this week, I chanced upon this fantastic programme. In ‘Heresy’ David Baddiel chairs a programme intent on challenging conventional wisdom, on the premise that many deeply held opinions are wrong.

Apart from being funny, witty and interesting, it’s a useful framework for thinking. I’m not suggesting being controversial for the sake of it, rather finding a way to challenge the accepted agenda, or creating a new one.
