Alas Vine & Hitchens

An Audience with Vine & Hitchens at St Peter’s College, Oxford

03 Dec 2025

Description

On this week’s episode, Sarah and Peter travel to St Peter's College, Oxford, where Peter ruminates on an increasingly unlikely peace deal in Ukraine, and Sarah begins by asking why Christmas starts earlier each year before regaling the student audience with tales of Christmas past more woeful that Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. Plus, Peter and Sarah take on all comers, and each other, with questions from the floor including the evolution of women’s role in the workplace (which goes off like a cheap firework), what they both really think of President Donald Trump and Peter’s Moscow goose (it’s not a cocktail). On our reading and watch list this week:  ·      In The Wet – Nevil Shute·      When Women Lead – Julia Boorstin·      Moscow Christmas: A Diary.
