Podcast: Pop Culture Debate Club with Ronald Young Jr.Published On: Thu Jun 19 2025
Description: This week, we’re excited to introduce you to Evil Genius from the BBC. Was she a tyrant in a tall hat – or the original girlboss, defying gravity and public opinion? Was she a product of her environment who experienced prejudice, and even if she was, does that allow her to terrorise Oz? Emmanuel Sonubi, Joe Sutherland and Jess Fostekew join the great and powerful Russell Kane to decide if Elphaba Thropp - The Wicked Witch of the West - is evil or genius. Evil Genius: It’s good, bad, ugly - and very, very funny. Russell Kane and guests change the way we see heroes and villains in history and fiction. Additional Material: Eve Delaney Researcher: Christina Riggs Sound Editor: Kate Mac Production Coordinator: Sarah Nicholls Executive Producer: Paul Smith The Producer was Gwyn Rhys Davies. Evil Genius with Russell Kane is a BBC Studios Audio Production for BBC Sounds. An EcoAudio certified production.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
