  • Requires Amplification!

    More, more, more! Ian Bremmer and his Eurasia Group team have been providing sound global perspectives for many, many years. Those lucky to have had a bespoke audience know this. Excited to have this level of thought leadership expand beyond the IYKYK. More Ian, and definitely more Moose : ) .

  • Not good

    Shallow commentary, Ian isn’t the smartest guy out there. His podcast serves to try and land his consultancy firm more clients

  • A much-needed voice of reason.

    I first heard of Ian when he moderated for lack of a better term and interview with Peter Zeihan on Sam Harris’s Making Sense podcast. I really enjoyed his rigour and engagement and so here I am. Please have Dr. Sarah Payne on some time!!!

  • Normally very good

    Bill Maher saying “ I don’t know “ was the only accurate thing he said. Normally, your guests are thoughtful and intelligent. They speak with knowledge and facts to back them up. They don’t speak in generalities and opinions with nothing to substantiate what they say. Except Maher. I’m surprised you had him as a guest since he contributed nothing.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The enduring legacy of 9/11, with former Defense Secretary Mark Esper
Q: What do you think about how the U.S. has balanced national security with individual rights over the past two decades?
He argues that the right balance was largely found between privacy and security, though debates persisted about overreach, and stresses the importance of preserving democracy while accepting some risk in foreign threats.
The enduring legacy of 9/11, with former Defense Secretary Mark Esper
Q: You talked to some of them today. What would you want them to understand about how the experience of 9-11 has changed our country?
Esper emphasizes the shift from pre- to post-9/11 in security politics, advocating vigilance, a balanced approach to civil liberties, and continuous reflection on whether we learned the right lessons from the era of homeland security and foreign wars.
The race to build humanity's future in space, with Chris Hadfield
Q: How are private sector involvement and international cooperation shaping the future of space?
The conversation notes that private industry is making space more accessible, but regulation and international collaboration (e.g., Artemis Accords, ISS heritage, and NGO efforts) are essential to manage safety, shared use of lunar resources, and the long-term governance of off-Earth activity.
The race to build humanity's future in space, with Chris Hadfield
Q: What's different about the Moon mission this time around?
Hadfield highlights cheaper access to space, confirmed water on the Moon, and the ability to share real-time experiences from astronauts, which together shift the Moon from a distant destination to a living, increasingly interconnected outpost with broader public engagement.
The UK a decade after Brexit, with Rory Stewart
Q: So ten years after Britain voted to leave, what is Brexit's real legacy?
Brexit's legacy is mixed—its promises of sovereignty and autonomy materialized in control over laws and borders, yet the economic costs, political instability, and shifting alignments suggest a Britain that is more complex and less clearly positioned in a rapidly changing global order.
