In Memoriam
This page honours the remarkable guests we have had the privilege of hosting on London Real who are no longer with us: people whose ideas, courage and honesty left a lasting mark on the world.
They came from very different places. A primatologist who changed how we see animals, a Holocaust survivor who spent her life teaching tolerance, a futurist who imagined a world without money, actors, entrepreneurs, scientists, rebels and campaigners. Each sat down with Brian Rose for a long, open conversation, and those conversations are still here to watch, read and learn from.
Below you will find every one of them, with links to their full episodes and transcripts.
