The son of the late Shah of Iran, Reza Pahlavi has lived in exile since the 1979 revolution - but now believes the Islamic Republic may be nearing collapse.
In this wide-ranging conversation with The Telegraph’s Roland Oliphant, the Crown Prince outlines why he believes Iran is on the brink of a new uprising, and why he sees himself as a possible figurehead for a democratic transition.
He discusses the legacy of his father’s rule, the lessons of the past, and what he believes Western governments should do as Iran reaches a critical turning point in its history.

Recorded in 2010, this episode features a rare and revealing interview with the man who redefined the modern musical.
A towering figure in theatre, Sondheim combined lyrical brilliance with emotional depth, reshaping Broadway with works like Company, Sweeney Todd, and Into the Woods. Sharp, introspective, and endlessly curious, he was both a master craftsman and a restless innovator.
In this conversation with The Telegraph’s Mick Brown, Sondheim reflects on his extraordinary career, his formative years under the mentorship of Oscar Hammerstein, the anatomy of a great musical - and, in moments of striking honesty, his struggles with therapy, ageing, and the complexities of love.

Recorded in 1996, this episode features one of the most far-reaching and candid interviews of Mick Brown’s career - captured over two days in New York.
A true original, Bowie was a master of reinvention - fearless, visionary, and always ahead of the curve. Whether as Ziggy Stardust, the Thin White Duke, or simply himself, he blurred the lines between art and identity, music and performance. Beneath the personas was a thoughtful, searching artist with a restless mind and a deep curiosity about the world.
In this rare conversation, he speaks to The Telegraph’s Mick Brown about his shape-shifting career, artistic and spiritual influences, his years of excess - and the peace he eventually found in his marriage to Iman.

In a wide-ranging interview for our sister podcast, Ukraine: The Latest, the former Prime Minister calls for bold new commitments from Britain and the West.
Speaking with characteristic urgency, Johnson argues that British troops should help defend Ukraine’s borders as part of any future peace settlement - and sharply criticises the current government’s approach to NATO and long-term security guarantees.
In a conversation that spans strategy, leadership and the moral imperatives of the war, Johnson outlines his vision for a free, sovereign Ukraine, embedded in Western security architecture - with NATO, in his view, the only credible path forward.
This conversation took place in November 2024.

We begin with an unforgettable conversation featuring a true icon - Marianne Faithfull - who passed away in early 2025.
A voice like no other, Marianne was more than just a musical legend. She was a poet, a survivor, and a storyteller, weaving her own highs and lows into songs that defined generations. From swinging ’60s stardom to reinvention and resilience, her life was as complex as it was captivating.
Thirty years ago, The Telegraph’s own Mick Brown traveled to Ireland to interview her. Now, Mick takes us back to that moment, reflecting on their remarkable exchange and what it reveals about her life, legacy, and lasting impact.
