Enjoyable but biased ,as most news.
Belittling student and municipal actions was petty.
Another BBC.
Exactly the right balance of searing insight and snark. This is a daily must-listen. Love it.
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?
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.

The show consistently covers global politics, diplomacy, security, and regional dynamics with a sharp, skeptical-yet-curious lens. Guests range from diplomats and policymakers to journalists and academics, often mixing hard geopolitical analysis with cultural commentary, design insights, and travel/city life notes. Its strength lies in brisk, informed discussions that connect international affairs to everyday consequences, appealing to listeners who want depth, context, and a European-informed perspective on global events. A notable trait is the blend of serious geopolitical analysis with personality-driven banter and lighter cultural segments, which can broaden appeal to professionals while keeping conversations accessible for a curious, e... more
