Episode 45

The Key to a Positive Future.

Konstantin Kisin is a Russian-British satirist, podcaster, author and political commentator who made international headlines in 2018 when he refused to sign a university “behavioural agreement form”, which banned jokes about religion, atheism, and insisted that all humour must be “respectful and kind”.

Since then, Kisin has written for a number of publications, including Quillette, The Spectator, The Daily Telegraph and Standpoint, and has appeared on a numerous media outlets and podcasts to opine on issues relating to tech censorship, woke culture, comedy and "culture war" topics; he also writes regularly on his eponymous Substack.


Alongside fellow comedian Francis Foster, Kisin is also co-founder and host of "Triggernometry", a popular free speech podcast built around "fun-but-serious conversations with fascinating guests".


Kisin is also a Sunday Times Best-Selling author, and the paperback edition of his newest book, "An Immigrant's Love Letter to the West", is available now.
