  • My go-to source for grounded insights

    Consistently engaging, thoughtful and genuinely informative. TTBIA breaks down local and global current affairs in a way that sharpens how you think, not just what you know. Each episode brings fresh insight, solid research and the kind of intellectual stimulation that’s hard to find in mainstream spaces. Easily one of the few shows that leaves you better equipped to navigate the world. Thank you, TTBIA team-this work matters!!!
