LIFITV: I Predict a Riot – Backstage Reflections

Interview
December 16, 2025

What happens after the applause fades?

For the latest episode of LIFITV, we caught up with Sally, Tamsin and Gaynor moments after their main stage discussion I Predict a Riot at the Leeds International Festival of Ideas 2025. Fresh from the stage, they reflect on the ideas that landed hardest, the questions that challenged them, and why unrest, resistance and collective voices continue to shape our world.

This candid post-talk conversation offers a rare glimpse behind the scenes — capturing the thoughts that emerge when the microphones are still warm and the debate is far from over.
