  • Dylan Jones, former GQ and Evening Standard editor on culture, politics, and the art of staying slightly removed

    Dylan Jones, former GQ and Evening Standard editor on culture, politics, and the art of staying slightly removed
    2025/04/30

    Welcome to Peter York's Culture Wars House Party. In this episode, I’m joined by Dylan Jones—a defining figure in British media. He spent over two decades editing GQ and later ran the London Evening Standard, helping shape the national conversation around style, politics, and culture.

    From ‘literally no experience, and couldn’t actually write very well’, we trace Dylan’s journey from art school maverick to media powerhouse. Expect career advice—why “we’re not looking for people with great ideas”—and sharp anecdotes: why he hired Alastair Campbell and Piers Morgan, threw Russell Brand out of his own awards ceremony, and photographed Melania Trump “like an evil Bond girl, scantily clad with lots of hardware.”

    In a world of partisan noise, how does Dylan stay “slightly removed” from culture wars? And how is culture evolving now that “a lot of the big players in those worlds removed themselves”? What’s filled the vacuum? And is New York too parochial?

    Plus: is the suede loafer from Jermyn Street under threat from a chisel-toe slip-on creeping in from another part of the capital?

    “I went up to him afterwards, before I led him to the door, and said: ‘This is a pact. We're doing something for you. You do something for us. In what part of our agreement is it a good idea to slag off our sponsor?’”

  • Iain Dale, LBC presenter on culture wars, conservatism, and why we can't all just get along

    Iain Dale, LBC presenter on culture wars, conservatism, and why we can't all just get along
    2025/04/22

    Welcome to Peter York's Culture Wars House Party. In this seventh episode, I'm joined by Iain Dale—the prolific broadcaster, author, and political commentator. A fixture of the British media landscape, he currently hosts LBC’s evening show and was briefly a possible Conservative Party candidate in 2024.

    We explore Iain's journey from party insider to media provocateur, his mission to rebuild the Conservative Party, the rise of social conservatism, and the decline of big tent politics.

    We also delve into the influence of American culture on British politics—what it means to be “five years downstream” from the US—the state of public discourse, and Iain’s reflections on the culture wars, from anti-Semitism to trans rights.

    Plus: what it’s like interviewing Donald Trump, working with Michael Ashcroft, and what Iain really thinks of Sir Paul Marshall. Does media ownership and regulation matter?

    And we'll discover whether Iain Dale ever has a mooch on his high street.

    “I'm really worried about the state of the so-called culture wars. I used to resist even using that term, because I thought the more you use it, the more you almost encourage them to continue, but you can't get away from it now. There are people on one side and people on another side, and never the twain shall meet.”

  • Graydon Carter, ex-Vanity Fair editor: Inside the Trump Era - Unpacking America's Cultural Battlefield

    Graydon Carter, ex-Vanity Fair editor: Inside the Trump Era - Unpacking America's Cultural Battlefield
    2025/04/09

    Welcome to Peter York’s Culture Wars House Party. In this sixth episode, I’m joined by Graydon Carter—the legendary editor of Vanity Fair—a cultural powerhouse from 1992 to 2017—and now editor of the effortlessly chic digital magazine Airmail.


    Charting Graydon’s journey from sensible Ottawa to the glittering heights of New York media, we examine the seismic shifts in publishing and unravel the complex tapestry of America’s culture wars. Has the coup already happened? Did the left go too far—and is there now an overcorrection? And has the “wanton brutality” of Trump’s administration given billionaires a bad name?


    Graydon reflects on decades of tangling with Donald Trump—as a man ( are his fingers too short? does he have any friends?)—and as a businessman, as the “fourth tier of real estate families in New York”.


    And we now have the definitive answer… or do we… on where to buy the best suede loafers in London.


    “I’ve never seen Donald Trump in any living room ever in 50 years of being in New York, and nobody would invite him anywhere. I don’t think he has friends, I think he’s got associates, but I don’t think he has any true friends.”
