  • Dine out on quality.

    Always informative with experienced hosts. Global roaming is a good start to international affairs analysis and tackles many of the contemporary strategic issues. Notably disagreements with guests also add to the rigour of the program.

  • Doogue is a Barry Crocker

    ‘Gerry’ (cringe) is right into western exceptionalism and is also a Catholic Church apologist (seriously) She has ego the size of Mt Rushmore but the intellect of a sadly munted Hobbit.

  • Palestine Episode

    I found listening to this episode so frustrating, despite the most violent genocide being carried out by Israel, this episode pointed all fingers at Hamas, who is definitely at fault, but let’s not dress up a wolf and call it a sheep.

    How about you guys do an episode and actually discuss the real events of this genocide, the continuous disregard of international law, and the lack of accountability of Israel. Let’s talk about the dehumanisation of the Palestin... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Trump or Xi: Who Blinked First?
Q: What do you make of U.S.-China relations amid President Trump's visit?
It reflects a shift to a more transactional U.S. foreign policy that doesn't prioritize altruism or shared values.
Trump or Xi: Who Blinked First?
Q: Do you think this meeting is particularly significant?
It is a significant step forward but will not change fundamental issues that drive U.S.-China competition.
The VERY important meeting in China you probably missed
Q: How do you view the political shake-up and anti-corruption efforts in China?
These efforts may strengthen Xi's position but pose challenges for succession and flexibility in governance.
The VERY important meeting in China you probably missed
Q: Can you explain what this meeting actually is? Why is it so important?
The Fourth Plenum is significant not because of debates but for the signals it sends, particularly regarding China's next five-year economic plan.
How Australia’s Army Chief is preparing us for the next war
Q: Do you think it's less likely to happen again?
Yes, I do. I'm very proud to lead an institution that owns its failures, that deals with them as they are, and is committed to doing better and learning from our past.
