Journalism

Former Guardian writer Gary Younge reflects on his writing on race and racism and his interviews with Maya Angelou, Stormzy and more; Polly Toynbee examines her fascinating family tree of radicals; Clive Myrie revisits his career in journalism and John Crace shares how being rude to one MP makes you a friend to 649 others.

The year in culture

Plus acclaimed actor Simon Callow reads from Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie discusses her first children’s book and Grace Dent reveals the true meaning of comfort food.
