Really great podcast, I like the discussions and updates about the United Nations.
While there are some good people involved helping people who need help, one cannot deny that the IOs bring a large income to Geneva, especially for international conferences and meetings of governing bodies. There are times when Geneva hotels are booked solid and it’s hard to get a hotel. It is a large, unwieldy and self-perpetuating system and mandates are not always clear from the governing bodies and donors.
This is a good show when the convo is something that can’t be found elsewhere. I.e. Interviews with IO leadership, those in the field with the Red Cross, etc.
It is quite poor when the show is trying to offer higher level analysis on Trump policy or the future of multilateralism. Rarely feels objective or insightful.
Fantastic production for more background on international Geneva.
