Wright on the Nail
‘Wright on the Nail’ is a podcast hosted by music industry entrepreneur Chris Wright. Each week, he is joined by those in-the-know to discuss politics, media, business and lots more. Our episodes alternate between a ‘deep dive’ which gathers experts on a particular topic, and a ‘news roundtable’ where we chew over the biggest issues of the week with big-name journalists and decision-makers.

In this ‘Nailed It!’ episode we look back on Chris’s two conversations with author and journalist Otto English, picking out some of the most entertaining, moving, and eye-opening moments from those episodes: ‘‘Fake History’ with Otto English’ and ‘‘Fake Heroes’ an Interview with Author Otto English’.
Topics:
- What did Winston Churchill actually say?
- How the propagation of ‘the good old days’ philosophy caused Brexit.
- Would Che Guevara’s image be so iconic if he weren’t so “damned good-looking?”
- Otto’s childhood hero John Wayne and how he let him down.
- Chris's story about the Beatles, Dick James, and Robin Hood.
