We catch up with Tara to reflect on what her experience of being educated without going to school means for a world where so many kids are being kept out of school.  Should we be trying to replicate the education they are missing or should we be trying something new?  And will the current crisis bridge or deepen existing political divides in the US?  Plus another chance to hear the interview we recorded with Tara in February 2018 about her extraordinary book Educated.

David talks to Tara Westover about her incredible new book Educated, which tells the story of how a girl brought up by survivalists in Idaho and who never went to school ended up with a PhD from Cambridge.  Along the way we discuss what education means and what Tara's journey has taught her about politics and about life.  Really, this is a conversation about the important stuff.
