In this bonus audio Stephen extends the conversation with rhetoric expert Sam Leith, touching on weird figures like the "fleering flump" and what Sam refers to as the "reversible raincoat" of rhetoric - chiasmus. Plus the difficult-to-negotiate borders between rhetoric, oratory and demagoguery, with reference to Shakespeare, Hitler and an argument over a bill with a waiter!
