Second Self episode two features author, broadcaster and academic Emma Dabiri. We discuss race, identity, taking a radical approach to a world that is anything but, and her book What White People Can Do Next: From Allyship to Coalition. We also discuss change, Irishness, and we settle the question of the best butter ever made. As if it were really a question. <a target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href="https://open.acast.com/public/patreon/fanSubscribe/4644586">Get bonus content on Patreon</a> <hr> Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to Second Self, the podcast about the self we inherit, and the one we create.&nbsp;In this series, I’ll be having conversations with interesting people about the important ideas they’ve adopted and the ones they’ve moved away from through their lives. Though we live in an increasingly polarised landscape where ‘picking a side’ and digging your heels in is incentivised, Second Self is about intellectual curiosity, constructing your own individual identity, and when you need to, changing your mind.
