49 分钟Hello and welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet.
I'm head of programming Connor Boyle.
Coming up on the podcast, we've got a fascinating episode of Sotheby's Talks, diving into their new exhibition, Radical Modernity From Bloomsbury to Charleston.
This private selling and loan exhibition is in collaboration with Charleston the Trust, who look after the home and studio of painters Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant, which was a gathering point for some of the 20th century century's most radical artists, writers and thinkers known collectively as the Bloomsbury Group.

Here's Frances Wilson with more.
Hello, welcome a huge number of people.
I'm Frances Wilson and I'm delighted to welcome you here this lunchtime to celebrate the Bloomsbury legacy, art life and the Charleston aesthetic.
Now, before introducing the components of the Bloomsbury Group and talking about that history and legacy, I'd like to start with a question for each of you.
How did you first discover the Bloomsburys and in particular the farmhouse at Charleston.
I was about 14, and we went sketching in the garden, part of a school trip.
