“A pleasingly simple concept… one of the best things I’ve come upon in the last six months” (The Telegraph – ‘Best Podcasts’) 5 speakers, 15 minutes each. Script free and against a less-than-precise clock, some of the world’s leading figures in the arts and sciences deliver talks about their enduring achievements, wildest moments or deepest passions. It’s inspiring, informative, provoking, and above all, entertaining. Based in London but making forays to Sydney, New York and Milan, 5×15 has featured Joanna Lumley, Brian Eno, Jonathan Safran Foer, Jung Chang, Ruby Wax and Alain de Botton.
