I’ve been hoping CNN International would upload Kasie Hunt’s show on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. I used to follow Kasie on This Morning with Kasie Hunt, and it saddens me to know that The Arena with Kasie Hunt will not air in my country. I really admire her strong opinions and reporting style.
Thank you again, CNNI and Kasie Hunt! 🙌🏻

Recent episodes feature high‑stakes diplomacy, domestic political strategy, and cross-cutting analyses from foreign policy, national security, and legal/administrative angles. The conversations blend international risk assessment (Iran, ceasefires, naval dynamics) with U.S. policy debates (gas prices, redistricting, Supreme Court implications) and include reporters, former officials, lawmakers, and subject-matter experts. Notable strengths include a fast‑paced, panel‑driven format that surfaces diverse viewpoints, plus on‑the‑ground context from Vatican diplomacy to White House briefings, making it attractive for listeners who want timely, policy‑savvy perspectives paired with sharp political commentary.
