Jane and Chris from copyrightliteracy.org talk to their most distinguished guest to date - copyright legend the Rt. Hon. Professor Sir Robin Jacob. Robin talks about his journey from physics student at Cambridge through to his life as a barrister and eventually High Court judge. He gives us the inside scoop on the cases he defended and presided over and talks about some of his copyright heroes. And of course he tells us the name of his favourite cake. This podcast interview was recorded on 15 January 2025. We are extremely grateful to Robin for his time and for his patience while he waited for us to finish this edit.

Jane and Chris speak to bestselling author and cultural historian John Higgs about how copyright is intertwined in the weird and fascinating stories he has explored in his books. We talk about Ian Fleming's gold-plated typewriter, the KLF's scrapes with unauthorised sampling, how creative people go fishing for big ideas, how copyright supports him as an author and what the future holds for the next generation of creators.
