In 2020, statues across the world were pulled down in an extraordinary wave of global iconoclasm. From the United States and the United Kingdom to Canada, South Africa, the Caribbean, India, Bangladesh, and New Zealand, Black Lives Matter protests defaced and hauled down statues of slaveholders, Confederates, and imperialists.Edward Colston was hurled into the harbour in Bristol, England. Robert E. Lee was covered in graffiti in Richmond, Virginia. Christopher Columbus was toppled in Minnesota, beheaded in Massachusetts, and thrown into a lake in Virginia. King Leopold II of the Belgians was set on fire in Antwerp and doused in red paint in Ghent. Winston Churchill was daubed with the word ‘racist’ in London.Statues are one of the most visible – and controversial – forms of historical storytelling. The stories we tell about history are vital to how we, as societies, understand our past and create our future. Fallen Idols looks at twelve statues in modern history. It looks at why they were put up; the stories they were supposed to tell; why those stories were challenged; and how they came down.Alex von Tunzelmann is a historian and screenwriter. She is the author of five books on Cold War politics and cultural history, most recently Fallen Idols: Twelve Statues That Made History.Hugh Linehan is Culture Editor with the Irish Times.The Dublin Festival of History is brought to you by Dublin City Council, and organised by Dublin City Libraries, in partnership with Dublin City Council Culture Company.

Fallen Idols: 12 Statues That Made History - Alex Von Tunzelmann in Conversation with Hugh Linehan

Suzanne Lynch

Part One: President Trump has empowered immigration 'police' to deport more migrants. Now those with minor convictions or marks on their record are at risk. Fear is spreading among migrant communities, says Suzanne Lynch in Washington. Part Two: Some of the content of Mark Zuckerberg's recently published 6,000 word manifesto on the future of Facebook strengthened suspicions that the powerful social media guru has political ambitions. Also among the optimistic ideas and platitudes, Irish Times Culture Editor Hugh Linehan found a creepy vision of future society.

My guest today is Hugh Linehan, Digital Development Editor of the Irish Times. Previously he was Online Editor there. We discuss starting in journalism, and how he became so involved with the online side of the publication. At a time when newspaper sales are falling, we talk about how the Irish Times, along with other traditional media outlets, are having to change their business model, embrace new technologies and the myriad challenges faced by the different ways people choose to consume content and news. The Irish Times has also moved into the podcasting sphere, with a number of self-produced shows, as well as giving a platform to the fantastic Second Captains after the lads left Newstalk radio back in 2013. We chat about podcasting as a growing medium, podcast advertising, monetisation, audience building and lots more. You can follow Hugh on Twitter @hlinehan.
