  • Didn’t need to be a daily podcast

    I really enjoyed this podcast but when they went to 5 times a week I had to pass. There is not enough time in the day. It is a pity the ABC keeps ruining good weekly podcasts by making them daily.

  • Dreadful format and co host decisions

    Stephen Dziedzic should obviously be a new cohost, not Latika Bourke. What on earth was the ABC thinking (they weren’t). Global Roamers who still want informed and intelligent analysis and debate should check out the BBC’s new Asia Specific podcast.

Can Trump and Netanyahu bomb their way to regime change?

Angela Stent answered that Putin is not winning the war in Ukraine but says Russia isn't losing either, as they have made territorial gains.
How Mexico got stuck between Trump's fury and Cartel fire
Q: Is Trump right then when he says Mexico is run by the cartels? Should we think that he's right?
There is some truth in it as there are areas where crime groups exert control, but it's an overstretch to say it applies to the entire country.
How Mexico got stuck between Trump's fury and Cartel fire
Q: David, when Mexicans realized that El Mencho had been killed by the government, would they have expected the kind of intense retaliation that followed?
Yes, retaliation from the cartels was expected due to previous experiences where government actions against top criminal figures led to violent responses.
Why the end of Ukraine's winter feels like a 'message of hope'
Q: Did you imagine when this started, that four years on, you'd be giving interviews like this, you know, describing Ukraine's resolve to keep fighting?
He never expected to still be discussing the conflict four years later, reflecting on how initially they celebrated surviving.
