ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Big questions. Honest conversations. One person talking to himself in a bow tie.
Bow Tie Talks is a podcast about politics, society, faith, culture and the ideas shaping the world around us.
I’m Clarke Roberts. I’m not a journalist, academic or expert — just someone who asks a lot of questions, thinks about things far too much, and enjoys digging beneath the headlines.
Expect opinions, curiosity, nuance and the occasional raised eyebrow. I won’t always have the answers. I might even change my mind.
