  • Diversifying, but Repetitive

    Culling my exposure to USA centric material which more often than not has a focus on stupefying government morons. My mind is unequivocally made up in that department, and it’s nice to get a more global perspective here. Other BBC feeds will dupe stories, sure, I find it easy to fast forward or skip…. Also, you know that anything in a British accent is always TRUE, duh.

  • World Class

    BBC Newshour is a staple. All major news agencies get their international news reportage from the BBC World Service. The major downsides are the ads on the podcast are interminable and the free promotion for a Christopher Nolan movie is nauseating and does not constitute news.

  • Too much bowing to the Israel and US rightwing. The late night broadcasters very good.

    They may me the very best of the current worst but too much bowing to Israel and US.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ebola: WHO chief travels to DR Congo
Q: How do you overcome the challenge of building trust in communities when fighting Ebola in a war-torn region?
Dr. Ihaquazu explains that trust is built by engaging with community leaders, respecting societal norms, and implementing Safe and Dignified Funerals to allow safe participation of families while preventing transmission.
Crowds gather for burial of Iran's assassinated Supreme Leader
Q: What is the outlook for renewed talks between the US and Iran?
Analysts suggested that there may be pressure to resume talks, but distrust and tactical posturing on both sides make a quick breakthrough unlikely, with internal domestic dynamics also shaping the calculus.
Trump threatens more strikes on Iran
Q: What is the current status of the Iran-NATO tensions after the latest strikes?
The situation has escalated with new strikes on Iran and aggressive rhetoric from the US president, while NATO emphasizes unity and the need for a political breakthrough to avoid a return to high tensions.
Ukraine's former defence minister repeats call for elections
Q: Why would Ukraine consider elections during wartime?
The guest argued that elections represent a core democratic principle and would signal political legitimacy, but acknowledged the practical and constitutional obstacles under martial law.
Fears Ukraine will run out of missile defences
Q: How bad is the shortage of missile interceptors and how come?
Shortages are severe and partly due to manufacturing secrecy, global demand, and competition with other conflicts; estimates indicate Kyiv has far fewer interceptors now than in 2025, with empty Patriot launch systems observed near Kyiv.
