Planet Normal: Bringing you the best of the Rocket in 2025 so far
The co-pilots have diverted the rocket of right thinking for a short break, but to keep you all sane they have prised open the archives to revisit some of their favourite interviews of 2025 so far.
On this first of three summer specials of the Planet Normal podcast, which you can listen to using the audio player above, columnists Liam Halligan and Allison Pearson discuss the recent grooming gang scandal is the inspirational author of 'Infidel: My Life', and 'Prey: Immigration, Islam, and the Erosion of Women's Rights', is activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali.
Then the co-pilots are joined by American entrepreneur, Mike Calvey, who straps in for a very special interview to discuss his new book 'Odyssey Moscow' which details his harrowing ordeal as a prisoner of the Russian State.
