Welcome to Intelligence Squared where great minds meet. I'm head of programming Conor Boyle. Today's episode is part two of our live recording from our recent event in London's Pleasants Theatre with Lucy Fokes, academic psychologist at the University of Oxford and author of Coming of Age, How Adolescence Shapes Us. Joining Lucy on stage to discuss it was journalist and broadcaster Pandora Sykes.
