What does it mean to belong when the very idea of home is under threat? In this episode we’re joined by award-winning author and political thinker Ece Temelkuran. Forced into exile for her critical views of President Erdoğan, Temelkuran has long signalled the alarm that fascism threatens not only her home country Türkiye, but the whole democratic world. Her first book in English, How to Lose a Country, received international praise. Her second, Together, offers ‘a way out from the political and moral insanity’ that is ushered by the global rise of fascism.  Now Temelkuran joins host Mythili Rao to discuss her new book, Nation of Strangers, a powerful and personal reappraisal of the concept of exile, migration and rebuilding home in the 21st century. Increasingly, oppression seems to be spreading, institutions crumbling, and certainties dissolving. Across the world, the number of refugees and exiles, the dispossessed and displaced, the politically homeless and economically excluded is growing. In response, Nation of Strangers takes the form of intimate, urgent letters written from one stranger to another, exploring alienation, resistance, solidarity and hope.

  • I'm B Duncan, executive producer at Intelligence Squared.

  • Here's a thought.

  • We don't often connect our modern digital world with something as physical as water,

  • but the two are deeply linked.

  • Data centers, food production, your morning coffee, the clothes you're wearing.

  • Water is behind it all.

  • Our world is held together by water in ways we rarely stop to notice.

  • That's why we're proud to be kicking off 2026 by working in partnership with WaterAid to shine a spotlight on something that connects us all.

  • Water.

  • Journalist Coco Khan speaks to Helen Rumford and Vera Clutchin about how water is shaping the future of innovation,

  • climate resilience and global development.

  • Because when water flows, so does opportunity.

  • Helen Rumford is lead policy analyst for climate policy and campaigns,

  • focusing on inclusive, sustainable change and climate justice.

  • And via reclusion,

  • WaterAid's climate and environment lead brings over a decade of international experience working on climate resilient water,

  • sanitation and hygiene systems.

  • Listen in to discover why investing in water is one of the most powerful ways to secure a sustainable,

  • equitable future for everyone.

  • This is the second episode in our series in partnership with WaterAid,
