On this week’s New Statesman Podcast: Episode Thirty-Three

Could we renationalise the rail network? Why is Lena Dunham's Girls such a lightening rod for criticism? Why has a space probe just woken up on a comet millions of miles away? So many questions.

By New Statesman

On this week’s podcast, Rafael Behr, Helen Lewis and George Eaton discuss the progress of London’s Crossrail project and the possibility of a gradual re-nationalisation of the train network under Labour, Caroline Crampton asks why Lena Dunham’s Girls is such a lightning rod for criticism, and Ian Steadman tells us about the space probe which has just woken up on a comet millions of miles from the Earth.
