  • Andrew is tiresome and self-indulgent

    Between his desperate attempts to sound like Alan Partridge on the weekly “what we learned” monologues, and his verbose, exhausting speeches that overwhelm any of his interview subjects, this is another Monocle podcast I can’t listen to unless I’m trying to torture myself. With so many great hosts, like Fernando, Emma and Georgina, why do listeners have to put up with this bloated, boring sideshow?

  • Smug and Boring

    I listened to this for 15 minutes but that was all I could take. The number one thing that makes podcasting interesting and informative is when the broadcaster tries to see all sides of issues and has a sense of nuance. This show and the hosts are boring, self-referential, narcissistic, and smug, unfortunately typical for modern “progressives”. It could pass for satire it’s so bad.

Can Syrians return home? Germany’s foreign minister thinks not
Q: Is it currently still completely impossible for people who may have become accustomed to life in Germany to go and live in Syria?
It would be extremely difficult as Syria has had a decade of war, making it hard for those who have settled in Germany to return.
Is Donald Trump getting softer on trade? The cases of Japan and China
Q: Simon, when you were in Japan, did you find that the defense responsibility debate was live?
Yes, defense spending is increasingly important in Japan, especially in light of sovereign threats from neighboring countries.
Is Donald Trump getting softer on trade? The cases of Japan and China

Q: Colonel Cancian, first of all, is this likely just theatrics? Does this look to you like the assembly of an actually serious strike or invasion force?
Unfortunately, it looks like the assembly of a strike force.
