Little Atoms with Brendan O'Neill

On this weeks show we welcome back to Little Atoms journalist Brendan O'Neill.

Brendan is the editor of spiked, the online magazine with the modest ambition of making history as well as reporting it. He started his career in journalism at spiked 's predecessor, LM magazine, until that was forced to close following a libel action brought by ITN. Brendan's writing has been published widely on both sides of the Atlantic, including in The Spectator, The New Statesman, The Guardian, the Christian Science Monitor and Salon. He is also a regular contributor to the Guardian's Comment is Free Blog. Entirely fulfilling Little Atoms' remit of being challenging, possibly controversial and always interesting, Brendan has been described as a "smug shite" by Peter Tatchell, and as "exceptionally ignorant" by Melanie Phillips.
