  • 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.

Tens of thousands of migrants enter Ceuta
Q: What does the local reaction in Ceuta tell us about the immediate humanitarian needs?
Migrants report lack of food and water, fear, and uncertainty about what comes next, indicating urgent humanitarian assistance is needed while authorities navigate legal processing and border-control policies.
FIFA offers incentives over "stakeholder" plan
Q: What is the core concern about FIFA's proposed plan?
The core concern is that transforming FIFA into a private, revenue-focused entity could alienate fans, undermine the sport's accessibility, and concentrate power and money among a few, risking corruption and misgovernance.
Fifa president comes under more pressure
Q: Was the deal inherently flawed, and what should be done next?
Yes, the deal is described as undervalued and rushed; the guest argues a cleaner path involves stronger governance and potentially leadership changes.
Fifa president comes under more pressure
Q: What do you make of the idea of listing FIFA on the stock exchange?
The guest suggests it could democratize ownership, increase value, and improve governance by subjecting FIFA to public company standards, implying broad fan investment and regular reporting.
US-Saudi nuclear deal raises concern
Q: What happened with the nuclear deal safeguards?
Experts debate whether allowing Saudi enrichment under limited inspections will undermine global non-proliferation norms, with some calling for ironclad oversight and IAEA involvement.
