The Royals with Roya and Kate

A discerning look at royal life in the era of King Charles, presented by the royal editors of The Times and Sunday Times, Kate Mansey and Roya Nikkhah – two women with unmatched insight into the inner workings of the monarchy. It’s a time of challenges and change for the royal family, but also one of great hope and warmth, and a sense of the possibilities of this new Carolean age. There are personal challenges for the royals, but new links are being forged with “kind words”, as King Charles has said, between the public and the Palace. Join Roya and Kate every week for their reactions to the latest news on Charles and Camilla, William and Kate, Harry and Meghan and more.

How to win an election

How To Win An Election is an insider’s guide to the twists and turns of political campaigning and strategy. It brings together some of the most experienced political advisors of the past four decades - Daniel Finkelstein, Sally Morgan, and Polly Mackenzie - with Times Radio presenter Hugo Rifkind. Sally Morgan served as Blair's political secretary and then as director of political and government relations; she understands the challenge of leading the country when there are tensions with the Treasury, an unpredictable ally in the White House, and unrest on the backbenches. Nobody knows the highs and lows of the Conservative party better than Daniel Finkelstein, who has worked alongside Tory leaders and prime ministers from John Major onwards as they fought to modernise the party. And Polly Mackenzie is one of the smartest thinkers in Westminster, a policy expert who helped negotiate the Liberal Democrat-Conservative coalition and spent five years working alongside deputy prime minister Nick Clegg in Downing Street. They sit down with Hugo Rifkind for an intelligent, adversarial and witty political conversation every week.

Your History

The life stories of the people who have shaped our own, told through the obituaries pages of The Times. As Nelson Mandela noted, “you can't really be proud of yourself if you don't know your history”. Anna Temkin, Deputy Obituaries Editor at The Times, introduces the endlessly fascinating stories that tell us about how we got to this point in history - the stories of a lifetime well lived. The Times has published daily obituaries for over a century. Now, each week Anna builds on that legacy and explores that rich archive, joined by voices from across the paper to analyse the lives which have enriched and informed today's society.
