In depth study of current events without politics and hyperboles. The facts, just the facts and the logical output from these facts.
In a world where opinions abound, the views of Richard Dearlove stand out. His vast experience of working on the world stage and contributing to decisions within the inner circles of Whitehall are the basis for some of the best analysis on current affairs. Thanks for an outstanding podcast.
All the co-presenters and guests seem to always repeat “Sir Richard” through the shows. Surely after the first introduction just Richard would be fine? Or does he insist on it? Anyway, it sounds ridiculously stuffy and formal in 2026. Otherwise the podcast is quite informative.

Excellent insight on world events
