  • 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 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.
Lebanon's best chance for peace, with Kim Ghattas
Q: Given the MOU and the ongoing Lebanon-Israel negotiations, what does a potential settlement look like and what are Lebanon's chances of achieving sovereignty without Hezbollah entrenched as a state within a state?
Ghattas argues that Lebanon must assert sovereignty through diplomacy and international support, while Hezbollah's disarmament is not feasible in the short term; the Lebanese state needs to build legitimacy and offer tangible benefits to communities that still support Hezbollah, leveraging international aid and political reform to crowd out the militia influence.
Lebanon's best chance for peace, with Kim Ghattas
Q: Sitting from your perch right now, who do you think actually has more leverage? Who is succeeding more or failing less in the war, the Americans or the Iranians?
Ghattas explains the situation is complex and uneven: Iran can inflict damage, especially economically, but is hampered by internal weaknesses and a struggling regional project, while the U.S. possesses firepower and broader influence but has not yet forced Iran to capitulate; the outcome depends on a mix of economic pressure, regional alliances, and diplomacy.
