Polly MackenziePANELIST
No, I'm sure that there will still be enough money in right-wing punditry for him to just carry on being on TV.
Polly MackenziePANELIST
Or maybe, like Amol Rajan, he will just launch his own YouTube channel.
Hugo RifkindHOST
You say that, but he might be bouncing across the Atlantic in his Zorb as we speak.
Hugo RifkindHOST
I'm stuck
Daisy ChristodoulouGUEST
students? All the students who supported West Ham, they were always my favourites.
Amol RajanHOST
Hello and welcome to this Monday edition of the Amol Rajan Connection.
Amol RajanHOST
Remember on Mondays I put your questions to our brilliant SuperSmart guests and today Daisy Crissadoulou is answering your questions.
Amol RajanHOST
She is quite simply one of the most interesting, innovative, influential and important people in British education.
Amol RajanHOST
And just to say, we had to record these first few episodes just for practical, logistical reasons, slightly earlier than we might have liked.
Amol RajanHOST
So we couldn't get your questions to put to Daisy.
Amol RajanHOST
We had to solicit them from some friends of the Amol Rajan Connection.
Amol RajanHOST
But our aim absolutely on a Monday really is to bring you closer to our guests.
Ed BallsHOST
and when you were talking to her because obviously you were talking to her after the whole thing's been filmed did you manage to discern
George OsborneHOST
no It was a bit like when I interviewed Amol Rajan and I didn't get any hint that he was about to be the first person ejected.
George OsborneHOST
She gave nothing away.
George OsborneHOST
She actually went like this.
Delia SmithGUEST
Okay.
Amol RajanHOST
Hello and welcome to this Monday edition of the Amol Rajan Connection.
Amol RajanHOST
Remember, if it's Monday, that means we're answering your questions or rather our fantastic guests are answering them.
Amol RajanHOST
And Delia Smith is here answering a bunch of really smart questions, really interesting questions that we have had sent in.

Amol RajanHOST
Yeah.
Amol RajanHOST
Delia, it's such a pleasure and a privilege.
Amol RajanHOST
Thank you so much for coming in and being with us on the Amol Rajan Connection.
Delia SmithGUEST
Thank you.
Dominic PonsfordHOST
He's probably making a lot more money now as a creator than he did working at places.
Charlotte TobittHOST
And what do you think about Amol Rajan's new thing, having left the BBC Today programme?
Dominic PonsfordHOST
Yeah, so Amol is similar.
Dominic PonsfordHOST
He's promised us a twice-weekly interview, which I guess will be on YouTube.
Andy DawsonHOST
I kind of checked out for a moment because I think we've got a new king of slop.
Andy DawsonHOST
And it's Amol Rajan, who presents University Challenge, and I think he was the morning presenter on Radio 4?
Sam DelaneyHOST
He was,
Andy DawsonHOST
yeah.
Andy DawsonHOST
He's left the BBC, he says, and he's got his own channel called the Amol Rajan Connection.
Sam DelaneyHOST
Right, okay.
Andy DawsonHOST
And he's doing long-form interviews, and his first one came out a week ago.
Delia SmithGUEST
And so power wielders love division.
Amol RajanHOST
One of the reasons, honestly, I called this show, what I'm doing, my business, The Amol Rajan Connection, is because I feel very strongly that connection is one of the supreme goals of life and of politics.
Amol RajanHOST
And I think we've lost sight of it a little bit.
Delia SmithGUEST
Not a little bit.

Amol RajanHOST
Delia Smith.
Amol RajanHOST
I really enjoyed us the book and I really enjoyed us the chat.
Amol RajanHOST
Thank you so much for coming on the Amol Rajan Connection.
Delia SmithGUEST
Oh, it was lovely for me too.
Katharine BirbalsinghHOST
You can pre-order it now on Amazon or wherever you buy books at the link in the description down below.
Katharine BirbalsinghHOST
And I'm told it's an easy read, actually, by several people, including Amol Rajan.
Katharine BirbalsinghHOST
You know Amol Rajan.
Katharine BirbalsinghHOST
He was on the BBC for an eternity, and he's now recently launched his own project called The Amal Rajan Connection, and I wished the very best to him.
Katharine BirbalsinghHOST
I mention him because he gave me a quote for the cover of the book, and I'd like to read some of it to you because I think it captures what you get from the book if you decide to read it.
Ali MaxwellHOST
You got distracted by a WhatsApp when I was talking earlier.
Ali MaxwellHOST
I ended up on Amol Rajan's YouTube channel looking at how the views were.
Ali MaxwellHOST
How are they? Not great.
Ali MaxwellHOST
It's not as easy as it looks.
SipsHOST
Okay, you ready? Right.
SipsHOST
First up, Amol Rajan.
SipsHOST
I've heard of him.
SipsHOST
I wouldn't recognize him.
