    Reflections: Series 4: Jerry Brown

    The former Governor of California oversaw the world's fifth largest economy for sixteen years, ran three times for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States, and over the course of his public life has known every president from John F. Kennedy to Donald Trump. In this interview with James Naughtie, Jerry Brown reflects on the importance of limits in the Jesuitical and Buddhist traditions, and how he took that idea into politics; on how his views on forgiveness informed his decisions to commute the sentences of people on California's Death Row; and on why if, in his words, you believe that inclination of the soul is to sin "you have to be somewhat sceptical about politics". Producer: Giles Edwards.

    Reflections: Series 4: Jeremy Hunt

    The former Chancellor reflects with James Naughtie on tough choices and political resurrection. Jeremy Hunt held four Cabinet jobs - including almost six years as Health Secretary, and then Foreign Secretary under Theresa May. After he was defeated by Boris Johnson in their battle for the Conservative leadership, he thought his ministerial career was over, only to be called back by Liz Truss after her mini-budget. In this episode of Reflections he discusses all that with James Naughtie, as well as a famous radio moment the two shared. Producers: Giles Edwards and Joel Massey.
