    The Expert Expat: Devi Sridhar
    Mar 3 2025
    Called "the Fauci of Scotland" (mostly by Alisha), public health expert Professor Devi Sridhar packed her dressiest flip flops, moved to Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar and has lived overseas ever since. She came to national prominence during the pandemic when the country gratefully listened to her no-nonsense advice, delivered in an American accent. Join Alisha and Devi for this wide-ranging chat that covers everything from dress codes in Buckingham Palace to gun control and don't forget to pre-order Devi's new book, How Not to Die (Too Soon).
