  • 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 188. Disorder LIVE @ UNA-UK: The Disunited Kingdom, the disordered dynamics of U.S.-Iran talks, and how Hormuz affects Nigerian politics
Q: What should the UK government focus on to steady inflationary pressures and restore business confidence in light of leadership questions and ongoing global turmoil?
The discussion suggests a need for credible, long-term plans that restore confidence: a clear economic strategy, restraint on spending, and targeted support to ease price shocks. Leadership transition considerations are framed as potentially disruptive unless a credible path is established quickly, with emphasis on stabilizing the macroeconomic environment and rebuilding trust with business communities.
Ep 188. Disorder LIVE @ UNA-UK: The Disunited Kingdom, the disordered dynamics of U.S.-Iran talks, and how Hormuz affects Nigerian politics
Q: What are some of the solutions that we can think of for the African continent? Could you divide them into two categories? What Africa can do for itself and what the global North and big tech can do to help Africa?
Alexis outlines that Africa can mobilize trillions in domestic capital to fund digital infrastructure and industrialization, improve financial inclusion, and expand AI-enabled services with localized language training, while improving credit worthiness through nuanced risk assessment and boots-on-the-ground engagement by ratings agencies. For external partners, she emphasizes targeted investment, technology transfer, and supportive policy environments that unlock finance and enable African institutions to scale up digital infrastructure, enable fintech growth, and foster regional growth through smarter risk assessment.
Ep 184. How Ryan Cornelius Was Trapped in Dubai Jail With Chris Pagett
Q: What does accountability look like for Ryan Cornelius?
The guest suggests that accountability is largely unattainable in practice, given bureaucratic inertia, but stresses that a formal, quicker process to adjudicate abuses and apply sanctions could act as a deterrent and create consequences for wrongdoers.
Ep 186. How to oust Netanyahu, and give the UAE tough love
Q: What do you think about the Netanyahu coalition and its challengers in the March-April Israeli context?
The guests and hosts emphasize the need for a centre-left, anti-Netanyahu coalition that can defeat Netanyahu while acknowledging the complexities of coalition formation, with Bennett and Lapid as a viable ticket that could appeal from the left to the anti-Netanyahu right.
Ep 185. Is Ukraine Winning? And how has the Iran war reshaped the Middle East? With David Tafuri
Q: How do you understand the current prospects for a peace deal between the US and Iran?
The host and guest suggest that Iran's demands have not meaningfully moved, and that while the US may want a deal, Tehran's pain points are far deeper; any agreement would have to be better than the JCPOA for Iran, and obtaining credible allied support is crucial.
