  • Exceptional interviews

    Jasmine is an excellent interviewer, always prepared with history and current context. Crucially, she features a very diverse set of speakers which enable me to gain perspectives I do not normally receive via other media sources. Her human-centric focus is very needed in this current world. Looking forward to season 2 soon.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Trump, Starmer and the Special Relationship: What a UK Ambassador Really Thinks
Q: What is the UK's optimal role in the post-Ukraine and post-Iran War landscape?
The UK should maintain a leadership role in defense and diplomacy, keep a robust voice on climate and multilateralism, and engage more actively with partners to shape policy rather than merely following US positions.
Trump, Starmer and the Special Relationship: What a UK Ambassador Really Thinks
Q: Given Middle East policy, how should the UK respond to Israel and Iran moving forward?
The discussion suggested a firmer, values-based stance, including potential economic sanctions and a willingness to align with broader international opinion, rather than being overly swayed by Washington, while maintaining strategic cooperation with allies.
Trump, Starmer and the Special Relationship: What a UK Ambassador Really Thinks
Q: What stood out about King Charles's messages during the Washington visit, and how did they differ from Starmer's approach?
Charles delivered clear, principled lines about checks and balances and human rights, while still engaging politely with Trump; this contrasted with Starmer's more deferential, flattering stance and highlighted different diplomatic strategies in managing the US relationship.
How to Tackle Rising Antisemitism: My Conversation with a Rabbi
Q: What has been the hardest part of maintaining dialogue between Jewish and Muslim communities in these times?

How to Tackle Rising Antisemitism: My Conversation with a Rabbi
Q: Can you tell listeners a bit about your background and how you approached moving from London to Australia?
