The New Right Wing Messiah - Ed Dutton on Jonathan Bowden

This week Ed Dutton returns to The Current Thing to talk about his new biography of the controversial, enigmatic genius Jonathan Bowden, who has become a highly influential figure following his premature death. We discuss:-Why Ed has been attacked by the ‘online right’ for writing this book-Bowden’s extraordinary speaking ability, and the traits that made him a genius-Bowden’s relationships with Michael Gove and Damian Thompson of the Spectator-Why an intellectual like Bowden was drawn to ostensibly tough right wing parties-Bowden’s bizarre pathological lying and lots more. This is a must for Bowden fans, and will also be very interesting for those who have never heard of him. This is just a clip as it is too controversial for most platforms, but you can find the full interview here: https://www.nickdixon.net/p/the-new-right-wing-messiahnickdixon.net There you will find full episodes of all Nick's podcasts with top guests, extended versions of the topical podcasts with Paul Cox, an extra weekly bonus podcast only for paid subscribers, Nick's private chat group, and more.
