J.S. Mill argued that the best means of reaching the truth of a matter involves a free and open debate - a marketplace of ideas, if you will. Let's open up the market to see which goods are worth their salt! What about academic freedom? Is it under threat? Is the 'crisis' a storm in a tea cup? We tried to discuss the crisis of Academic Freedom in the UK with Professor Goodwin, who initially said he was 'always happy to debate' - thus initiating Freeze Peach Live!

On 13 March Professor Eric Kaufmann joined us to discuss his recent report on academic freedom.

On 8 March, we have invited Regius Professor of Moral and Pastoral Theology, Nigel Biggar, of Christchurch College, Oxford to debate us on the issue of 'Academic Freedom in the UK' He didn't show.

On 17 Feb, Eric challenged Professor Matthew Goodwin to debate the claim that academics are a woke mob: https://twitter.com/EricRoyalLybeck/s...​ We were unsure whether Goodwin would turn up - we gave him 5 minutes and then moved on to a discussion with other guests, Phoenix Andrews, Leon Rocha and Carl Fraser.
