Independent Thinking
Independent Thinking is the new podcast from Chatham House.
Each week our director, Bronwen Maddox, will host conversations with leading policymakers, journalists and our own Chatham House experts to provide insight and depth on the big international questions of the week.
Independent Thinking gives you, the listener, the opportunity to engage with the high-level conversations that the institute hosts, and, for Chatham House members, to ask questions directly to the participants in each episode.

This week on the podcast we celebrate the women of Chatham House for International Women’s Day. Joining Bronwen Maddox in the studio are some of the many researchers who work at the institute, and they discuss their experiences working in global affairs and their advice for those wanting to work in public policy.
We also discuss India this week. On Monday, Chatham House hosted Rahul Gandhi, a leading Indian politician and former president of the Indian National Congress (INC). We discuss what he had to say about India’s internal quandaries and the international perceptions of the country, almost a decade on from the 2014 election that brought Narendra Modi and the BJP to power.
In the studio this week with Bronwen is Dr Mukulika Banerjee, until recently the Director of the LSE’s South Asia Centre; Rashmin Sagoo the Director of our International Law programme; Anna Aberg from our Environment and Society programme; Armida van Rij from our International Security programme and Isabella Wilkinson, a Research Associate on Cybersecurity here at Chatham House.
