Brazil was always the country of the future - prophesied as a new Eden since the sixteenth century, promised great things that never quite arrived. Alex Hochuli’s argument is that the future caught up to Brazil from the other direction. The wealthy w... more
Eritrea and (a Tigrayan-led) Ethiopia fought one of Africa’s deadliest wars against each other. Then Eritrea helped Ethiopia crush Tigray. Now Eritrea and Tigray are fighting Ethiopia together. Confusing? Super. Nicholas Norbrook of The Africa Report... more

Decent podcast with good guests and host on most subject. What is most annoying is their under voiced poltical banter all
The time about a Trump, or climate change, Mixing in their bias over and over again like most liberals do, 8 truths and 2 lies spoken as truth. Most listeners will eat it up by the spoonful, but obviously biased from the experience of studio and microphone.
An issue I run into with geopolitics is that it’s very clear what the persons bias/politics are within the first 10 minutes of a show.
After being a listener for all of 26, I still can’t pin down his politics/bias (unless told upfront). It’s a breath of fresh air of just pure geopolitical analysis facts and informed opinions.
Jacob, I really like both your shows. But I LOVE J Mintzmyer. I listen to any podcast that has him on, don’t care what podcast it is. He had a guest appearance on the Market Huddle a couple years ago. What a revelation! It got me out of my normal investing lanes which is rare, extremely refreshing and exciting, and it’s paid off in spades.
You have a really good show, I’m a somewhat regular listener, but you get 5 stars purely for this one episode. Well done sir, well done indeed. Love you J! ... more
Thank you for sharing so generously- great guests and best of all- the new professional opening and closing announcer (worth listening just for those)
Sometimes these guys lament the state of the world entirely too much.
For a geopolitical podcast, there’s more lamenting than expected, and less analysis than desired (unless Rob is talking).
