  • Interview with Andrew Lownie very good

    Why didn’t the federal government seize $ real estate Ghislaine Maxwell gained illicitly? I believe Prince Andrew and Maxwell met early on Preb dating Epstein and he instilled in her only wear an outfit once when her father dies and she tries to lure me into the Epstein Maxwell world in 1996 she tells me she’s broke. She also makes like a rude mocking joke of Charles and Diana sex life. She didn’t know that I had read a book about her father. I knew she was not an only child and I knew about the... more

  • Brilliant and Incisive Podcast

    I thoroughly enjoy this Podcast. It is topical, engaging, and despite the barrage of bleak news covered, relentlessly positive. The hosts seek real world solutions to geopolitical problems even when interviewing (as they often do) people with whom they disagree… I also like that the host’s effusive personality is front and centre! Congratulations on a terrific Podcast team!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 203. The Making of the Modern Middle East--Part 1 with Simon Sebag Montefiore
Q: What is the significance of Iran and the broader region's state-building in shaping current geopolitics?
The episode suggests that authentic statehood and continuity of institutions in Iran and Egypt contributed to stronger governance compared to some neighbors, and that enduring state structures influence how external powers interact with regional players today.
Ep 203. The Making of the Modern Middle East--Part 1 with Simon Sebag Montefiore
Q: Was the Shah ever a constitutional monarch, and how did Iran's political system evolve in the mid-20th century?
The Shah did not want to be, but he ruled for 40 years and faced a partitioned country during WWII; Iran had a functioning parliamentary system with elections in the 1940s-50s, though controlled by powerful elites, and post-war interventions shaped its trajectory; the monarchy persisted but with limited real power at times.
Ep 203. The Making of the Modern Middle East--Part 1 with Simon Sebag Montefiore
Q: As you're sketching all these narrative struggles, is this the correct framing to understand the modern Middle East, to look back to the falling apart of the Ottoman Empire?
Yes, you really have to go back to the Ottoman Empire, starting around 1900 but also previous events like the Crimean War and figures such as Muhammad Ali to understand the modern Middle East; without that longer arc, the interconnections and origins of later conflicts don't fit together.
Ep 204. Part 2: The Making of the Modern Middle East with Simon Sebag Montefiore
Q: What role should Europe play in Middle East peace and in restraining disruptive U.S. policy?
Europe should form a more unified block and move toward realistic concessions from both sides, rather than clinging to idealized two-state rhetoric, while leveraging its economic and political influence.
Ep 204. Part 2: The Making of the Modern Middle East with Simon Sebag Montefiore
Q: How does the Abraham Accords fit into future regional dynamics, and could they survive the current political shifts?
He suggests the accords are not dead but will be limited and fragile, contingent on broader regional shifts and internal Israeli politics, with new alignments possible but not a straightforward expansion to Saudi Arabia.
