Origin Story: An Evening with Ian Dunt and Dorian Lynskey in Cambridge

From the creators of the chart-topping podcast Origin Story comes a series of short books telling the stories of popular - but often misunderstood - political terms. Ian Dunt and Dorian Lynskey will be discussing their small guides to (very) big ideas; an antidote to confusion and conspiracism, bringing clarity to the conversations we have about politics.

Ian Dunt spent several years working in the heart of Westminster as editor of Politics.co.uk. He is a columnist for the I newspaper, the UK correspondent for ABC’s Late Night Live and regularly appears as a political pundit on TV and radio. He is the author of Brexit: What the Hell Happens Now , How to be a Liberal, and How Westminster Works (... and Why It Doesn’t).

Dorian Lynskey has been writing about music, politics, film and books for over twenty years for publications including The Guardian, Observer, Spectator, New Statesman, and GQ. He is the author of 33 Revolutions Per Minute: A History of Protest Songs and The Ministry of Truth: A Biography of George Orwell’s 1984.

In their podcast Origin Story Ian Dunt and Dorian Lynskey dig into the astonishing secret histories of concepts you thought you knew. This book series The Story of An Idea is the critical collection of key concepts: Conspiracy Theory, Fascism, and Centrism.
