The Royals with Roya and Kate

A discerning look at royal life in the era of King Charles, presented by the royal editors of The Times and Sunday Times, Kate Mansey and Roya Nikkhah – two women with unmatched insight into the inner workings of the monarchy. It’s a time of challenges and change for the royal family, but also one of great hope and warmth, and a sense of the possibilities of this new Carolean age. There are personal challenges for the royals, but new links are being forged with “kind words”, as King Charles has said, between the public and the Palace. Join Roya and Kate every week for their reactions to the latest news on Charles and Camilla, William and Kate, Harry and Meghan and more.

How to win an election

As the parties prepare to do battle at the polls in 2024, we bring together three of the most experienced political strategists of the past four decades. Legendary architect of New Labour Peter Mandelson can draw on his vast experience as a spin doctor, election supremo, cabinet minister and adviser to Labour leaders on how to win elections, and what might stand in their way.Nobody knows the highs and lows of the Conservative party better than Daniel Finkelstein, who has worked alongside Tory leaders and prime ministers from John Major onwards as they fought to modernise the party. And Polly Mackenzie is one of the smartest thinkers in Westminster, a policy expert who helped negotiate the Liberal Democrat-Conservative coalition and spent five years working alongside deputy prime minister Nick Clegg in Downing Street.They will join award-winning podcaster, journalist and stand-up comedian Matt Chorley for an intelligent, adversarial and witty political conversation every week.

Your History

The life stories of the people who have shaped our own, told through the obituaries pages of The Times. As Nelson Mandela noted, “you can't really be proud of yourself if you don't know your history”. Anna Temkin, Deputy Obituaries Editor at The Times, introduces the endlessly fascinating stories that tell us about how we got to this point in history - the stories of a lifetime well lived. The Times has published daily obituaries for over a century. Now, each week Anna builds on that legacy and explores that rich archive, joined by voices from across the paper to analyse the lives which have enriched and informed today's society.
