It’s good fun, 40 minutes, with contributions from (who wrote and is behind on reducing poverty), Prof Sheila Bird, Jonathan Portes from (his excellent ), the man they call, and many more.It’s also Radio 4 documentary of the week (woo!) which means you can download it as an mp3.
The link is live for another 5 days, and it works for some countries outside the UK too.And now that it’s expired on iPlayer, you can listen to it on FigShare here:If you’re interested in reading more evidence based policy, I highly recommend this that I co-authored a few months ago, downloadable for free online.

The show’s great generally, and a galaxy of nerds, recent guests include Patrick Stewart, Graham Linehan, Martha Lane Fox, Adrian Edmondson, Brian Cox, and the rest. It’s also a genius format for interviews: cars are an intimate space where eye contact is not mandatory and occasional silences are acceptable. I mean, we didn’t talk about anything intimate.
I’m just saying.Anyway, video is right here, clicketyclick.
