  • Milly

    I listen to a lot of podcasts (instead of radio) and listen to 3-4 news podcasts as I get ready each day. This podcast used to be my first or second go to every day. For the last few months I find myself not listening, the topics seem to be rehashing the same views every day. Please go back to the diverse reporting on diverse topics.

  • A little out of touch

    Samantha Hawley laughing at matters which are deadly serious or which have harmed people is inappropriate. Otherwise excellent content.

  • Food for thought!

    This is something that just popped into my head while listening to this podcast. It is stimulating food for thought. Looking forward to more insight as to global developments evolve in unpredictable ways.

    TACO, NACHO , now ‘PADDY’

    It’s a PADDY! Pump And Dump; Damm Ya(all)!

    This only works if the market remains buoyant. Often overlooked is the notion that a stock market boom effectively prints more money a.k.a. unrealised capital gains.

    The reporting feels more alarmist, conservative and click-baity than it ever used to be.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What happens if China's AI goes rogue?
Q: Well, Donald Trump, though, at this point, he is anti-regulating AI. But Alvin, what I want to do with you is consider how China is going to keep a check on AI so it doesn't go rogue.
Alvin explains that China already enforces a robust regulatory regime with clear guidelines on model testing, provenance, labeling, and personal liability for executives, suggesting that such structures aim to prevent rogue AI while maintaining innovation within a controlled environment.
Alan Kohler on how AI's moving interest rates
Q: What explains the current pace of inflation and how AI might alter it?
AI is expected to boost productivity and potentially lower inflationary pressures by increasing output per hour, but initially it also drives higher demand through data centers and construction, which can push prices up in the short term. Over the longer term, productivity gains could allow the economy to grow without overheating, leading to disinflation.
Terror on a flydubai flight
Q: What exactly happened on the flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv?
A co-pilot allegedly stabbed the captain, but off-duty pilots aboard helped wrest control of the aircraft, allowing a safe landing in Saudi Arabia; the incident is being investigated for motive, including whether it was terrorism.
Could AI really cure cancer?
Q: So tell me some of the ways AI is already helping cancer research.
AI is being used in several practical ways today, including predicting which patients will respond to certain treatments, identifying tumor margins during surgery, and detecting cancer earlier through imaging and blood-based tests—together these applications improve early detection and targeted treatment.
Why Trump has a peace problem
Q: Do you think Donald Trump can come to a point where there is a deal? Will he make a deal after the midterms as he suggested?
The guest expresses skepticism about Trump achieving a durable deal in either conflict, noting shifting leverage after the midterms and the likelihood that hardline positions and mixed signals will hinder substantial concessions, especially given the Iran situation and the broader geopolitical dynamics.
