'Sovereignty': Michael Rosen and guests explore well-known phrases from the national conversation such as #metoo, post-fact and resilience.

By looking at their usage, origins, rhetorical power and linguistic construction, we can see how they frame public argument and shape our thinking (sometimes in ways we do not notice).

This series includes Natalie Haynes on 'Patriarchy', Stuart Maconie on 'The Nanny State'; Afua Hirsch on 'Sovereignty' and Isabel Hardman on 'Safe-Space'.

First broadcast in five parts on 麻豆社 Radio 4 in 2018.
