In April 2012, BBC Radio 4 broadcast a three-part series and later podcast presented by Sandel titled "The Public Philosopher". These followed a format similar to the Justice lectures, this time recorded in front of an audience at the London School of Economics. Across three programs, Sandel debates with the audience whether universities should give preference to students from poorer backgrounds, whether a nurse should be paid more than a banker, and whether it is right to bribe people to be healthy.
