    I listen everyday. Monocle is lifeblood. Georgina Godwin is easily the most underrated and greatest host of all time.

    Andrew Mueller is also extremely good!

  • Good but also buys the pitch

    While this podcast’s team does bring some excellent guests to cover a wide spectrum of topics, they repeat some of the political rhetoric and terminology spewed by certain segments of the political right. If the producers could fix that, The Globalist would make for a more balanced listen.

  • Subpar

    Unfortunately there is no escape from biased news reporting. I listen to get a full spectrum view of global news, but it can be challenging at times to get through. Some of the segments have blatant bias in commentary, where reporters put zero to nil effort in substantiating the premises, and just assume the audience will accept their position without question. The host does a better job of masking her leaning on events, which I appreciate

War continues to escalate in Iran and Lebanon – is there any end in sight?

Can Marco Rubio sell the Iran war to G7 foreign ministers?
Q: What is the larger implication for transatlantic relations?
The episode suggests Europe may start reducing reliance on the US for security and adopt a more autonomous foreign policy, particularly if US actions appear unpredictable or divergent from European interests.
Can Marco Rubio sell the Iran war to G7 foreign ministers?
Q: How are European countries likely to respond given their own economic and political concerns?
Many are balancing oil security against the risk of widening conflict, with economic concerns and public opinion pushing for measured involvement rather than open-ended commitment.
Can Marco Rubio sell the Iran war to G7 foreign ministers?
Q: What will Rubio need to say to win support from G7 members?
He'll have to present concrete, bilateral steps and reassure partners that coordination remains credible, especially on oil security and sanctions policy, while acknowledging the limits and uncertainty around when or how the war ends.
Protests as Syria’s Ahmed al-Sharaa visits Berlin and London
Q: Majid, could you tell us more about the protests in Berlin surrounding al-Sharah's visit and what they signify about domestic reception?
The protests reflected a mix of pro- and anti-government sentiments; supporters welcomed the visit as a sign of potential normalization and investment, while opponents highlighted ongoing human rights concerns and cautions about the timing of return and reconstruction.
