Thank you for my weekend Brunch download 💚
I love the host, but the Aussie woman seems to hijack every story and turn it into a discussion of victim hood. Sigh.
Unashamedly anti-brexit (Uk) and pro democratic (US).
Shame as their cultural, literary and artistic commentary is quite humanistic and generally non-politica
The magazine is fantastic, And I’m a subscriber.
I used to love Monaco radio and listen to theGlobalist and the briefing daily.However I now find it starting to become quite biased , very like the BBC when I listen to something I almost know exactly what side of an interview some of the interviewers are coming down on.
A classy, elite brunch in podcast form.
