"Off Script" is a long-form interview podcast hosted by The Telegraph's Steven Edginton, tackling the front lines of the culture wars—wokeness, cancel culture, media bias, and geopolitical conflict—through candid, unfiltered conversations with leading commentators, historians, and political figures. Episodes blend current affairs with historical analysis, as seen in discussions with historians like Robert Tombs and Antony Beevor contextualizing Gaza and Ukraine, alongside industry figures like Legatum's Mark Stoleson debating woke capitalism and media influence. The tone is intellectually rigorous yet accessible, favoring deep-dive dialogue over soundbites, appealing to politically engaged, conservative-leaning listeners who want nuanced perspectives on ideological battles shaping the West. Weekly Friday episodes position it as a companion to The Telegraph's opinion journalism, drawing an audience interested in politics, historical context, free speech debates, and the intersection of media, business, and ideology. Its distinctive value lies in pairing sharp contemporary commentary with scholarly historical grounding.
