Mok O’`Keeffe returns as co-host and, together with Phil, explores the complex subject of privacy with Tiffany Jenkins, whose new book Strangers and Intimates makes the case that we need to restore the idea of a truly private life back to the heart of our society. So when does the right to know over-rule our right to privacy?Ranging from the Reformation through Victorian melodramas and the struggles of Monica Lewinsky in the 1990s, then coming right up to date with the ‘privacy for me, exposure for thee’ mantra of the celebrity tell-all (such as Meghan and Harry with Oprah Winfrey), this is a fascinating and wide ranging conversation.
