I didn’t know who Anthony Gormley was (although I did know some of his art). But I must say this interview was a breath of fresh air. His profound insights into the importance of art in our lives, in politics, and in shaping our collective humanity resonated deeply with me. Gormley's eloquence, devoid of any hesitations or filler words, was captivating as he articulated the profound impact of art on our psyche and self-determination. His impassioned plea for art to be an essential part of every child's curriculum struck a chord with me. Gormley's endorsement of Keir Starmer, not based on political allegiance but on character and empathy, was both refreshing and insightful. His trust in Starmer's understanding of working-class roots, his commitment to levelling up, and his appreciation for culture and art spoke volumes about the kind of leadership we need in these tumultuous times. This was probably the best endorsement for a politician I’ve heard in years. Gormley's perspective serves as a reminder of the power of authenticity and humanity in shaping our collective future. His words resonate deeply, offering hope and inspiration in equal measure. I loved every second of this and will probably listen to it again…I could hear him talk all day. Thank you Rory and Alastair for this wonderful moment of hope and intelligent empathy!

Thank you as requested for bringing in the voice of a creative/artist to your podcast. Both the arts and politics are about the betterment of man and society and we can all learn more by considering the input of other experts. I found this to be a brilliant and thought-provoking but life-affirming episode. Please TRIP keep innovating by bringing in voices from all spheres of modern life. Congratulations.

I've never knowingly watched or heard AG in my more than half a century. Quite to my embarrassment. Listening to his life story, and getting to understand his work and reasoning for such, was very interesting. Back to politics, his reaction to Brexit mirrored mine, apart from being so much more calmer than I am at times. Sad and angry sums it up. I also enjoyed his meditative few minutes, and the story behind that. Definitely something to read up on. Not generally a fan of still art (with a few exceptions), AG has encouraged me to take much more notice of his work especially, and that of others in general. Really enjoyable ❤

Fascinating. Brexit the result of a lack of imagination - yes! Proportional representation needed- yes! Sculpture a feature of continuity with our past - yes! (Listen up statue desecrators). The child escaping imposed religion by a kind of infantile meditation - yes - survival, resistance! Art and culture one of our biggest assets in soft power - yes! Britain producing great ideas which are then developed and applied outside Britain - yes, sadly! One of your best interviews yet. If Starmer can save our society by injecting the value of art, culture and history back into the school curriculum there might be some hope. But sadly, many of our institutions have been overtaken by mindless philistinism and an obsession with DEI and its ramifications which stifle creativity and intellectual progress. If a political leader can solve that one we might have hope for progress but, alas, political leaders have their eyes on staying in power not long-term goals.

DANKE for this beautiful inspired and inspiring conversation. I loved all of it but I was especially moved when near the end of the conversation Anthony was speaking while holding and sensing the objects in his hands. And it gave an extra sweetness that the objects were chosen by the wisdom of a (pokemon-loving 😊) child. And as an artist (musician) myself I love it when art in its seriousness and playfulness is put in the middle of life, education and politics and not just put aside as a pretty add-on for idle moments.

Knowing of Alistair's documented MH issues I feel (like me) the benefits for our own well-being of learning this practice are life changing and life enhancing. Get him organised Rory! Another cracking interview.

He chose well for the work he could take with him. I saw that once in a sculpture park in Yorkshire but I didn't get the feeling it was my ancestors looking back at me. Instead I felt very empowered with a captive mass audience all looking up at me. To be honest, I felt a bit like Hitler, Stalin, Liz Truss, or one of those mad fellas. Either way, remarkable feeling and incredibly effective piece of art.

A wonderful, interesting and insightful interview with Antony Gormley. Although much of his work is in the outdoors environment his work captured within buildings are incredibly inspiring. It didn't sound from his question that either of you went to his RA exhibition but that was mind blowingly good. On the weakness of culture secretaries I totally agree. A group of artists I am involved with put on a major exhibition with 40 professional artists and makers, it took 3 days to put up and mount and label and display. We invited our local MP to come who at the time was the culture minister. It took place over a weekend. She came on the Saturday and looked around and then asked if the exhibition on the next day, Sunday, would be the same exhibition. She is now in the house of Lords.

Absolutely loved this podcast…especially the emphasis on the knowledge that we humans need to feel our embodied presence in the world rather than totally focus on the more cerebral realm of reason and the use of models we’ve designed to represent the life of the mind. And I could easily see how the latter has unfortunately become the core of today’s politics and therefore has made it so difficult for so many to “experience” politics as necessarily essential to the existence in which they are grounded. Prompts me to think of Iain McGilchrist’s grasp of how politics has been captured by the left cerebral hemisphere which is primarily focused on manipulating the world of conceptual thinking and its models of everything versus the right cerebral hemisphere’s understanding of the need to ground ideas/concepts in their embodied context.

The problems with the costs of NHS cannot be solved by fiddling around the edges, only an increase in wealth specific taxes will ever address the shortfall. Equally, AI is coming, and justified or not, every company that can will offload staff to increase their profits. In effect, shifting the burden to the state while the execs, owners, shareholders pocket the benefit yet again. Why not put laws in place that mean any company offloading staff due to AI needs to pay a higher tax for 2-3 years to cover the costs on the state while that person retrains.
