The Rhodes as in Cecil Rhodes. What else to expect but brainwashing.
I believe people in China can discuss criticisms of their government. The USA ended RT. Ross Ashcroft had a show on there as did Chris Hedges. Try to write anything thing critical of the Zionists in the NYT. Very unbalanced.
Some of the show is less accessible to folk who were not trained in economics but all of it is interesting.
An incredible podcast that takes complex topics of economics and finance and presents them in a highly comprehensible and engaging way. My new favourite - can’t recommend highly enough!
Mark Blyth always seems to have his finger on the pulse of society. This allows him to notice subtle changes which indicate deeper issues concerning the flows of capital. Serious discussions for people who are seriously interested in understanding the world.

This show centers on big-picture economics and politics, often examining how global finance, state power, and corporate behavior shape policy and daily life. Episodes frequently feature scholars and practitioners discussing topics like corporate accountability, antitrust and competition policy, central banking, monetary democracy, and the geopolitics of natural resources, with a careful eye toward how ideas about capitalism and democracy interact in practice. A standout is the willingness to challenge orthodoxies—exploring the limits of central bank independence, the ethics of corporate settlements, and the tensions between green transitions and resource politics—while keeping complex material accessible for a thoughtful audience.
