Perhaps the biggest difference of all is the disappearance of the golden age of public intellectuals like Sir Isaiah Berlin, EJ Hobsbawm, EP Thompson and Bernard Williams. There are a few
successors: the philosopher John Gray, the classicist Mary Beard, the historian Sir Simon Schama are among them. But crucially, they no longer draw the same audiences. This is no fault of
their own. It is a product of a larger cultural change. The audiences who used to follow programmes like Men of Ideas, Voices, and The Late Show, who read The Listener and watched
intellectual discussion programmes and interviews late into the evening on BBC2 and Channel 4 seem to have abandoned terrestrial TV and intellectual weekly magazines. Perhaps podcasts are
the only future for such broadcasts.
