Living Gratefully: Peter Geoghegan opens up to Mona Siddiqui

Mona Siddiqui speaks to Peter Geoghegan, the well-known Irish writer, broadcaster and investigations editor at the award-winning news website openDemocracy. Born and raised in Ireland, now living in Glasgow, Peter looks back on his childhood in Ireland, his education and travels to the US, rebuilding family relationships, and the continued appeal of journalism. His focus on a troubled democracy led to his latest book, Democracy for Sale: Dark Money and Dirty Politics, which became a Sunday Times' best-seller."

In a time like no other we have known before; a time when we are living closely with some, distantly from most others, this podcast series examines human relationships, how we form them and what they mean to us, against a background of what it means to feel gratitude.Our host, scholar and broadcaster Mona Siddiqui, asks the probing questions, and her guests – musician Ricky Ross, author Val McDermid, former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams among others – open their hearts and minds. Living Gratefully examines how gratitude shapes our relationships with others, and how cultural relationships shape public discourse.
