Last year, from 30 August to 1 September, the Freethinker-sponsored Freethought History Festival took place at Conway Hall in London. On 31 August, I took part in a panel about the Freethinker alongside my predecessor as editor Emma Park and Professor David Nash (moderated by Dan Bye). The recording of that panel is now available for viewing. (If any other festival events are uploaded, you will also be able to find them on the Conway Hall YouTube page.)
