One of my favourite podcasts. Rick Steves is a wonderful interviewer and in each episode you really get a feel for the places talked about
Surprisingly much more interesting than the name would suggest.
Please stop talking over your guests!!!!
BRICS has not undermined anything . Rick Steves has communist guests being a mouth piece for a Klaus Schwab / Palantir / Yuval Hariri type of single digital currency of slaves. BRICS represents SOVEREIGNTY and the communist propagandists who Steves hosts , blame it FOR WHAT THEY ARE GUILTY OF.
Love love love Rick’s conversations with his European counterparts about how America’s changing foreign policy is affecting them. The wisdom and relationships that Rick has cultivated for decades is a vital balm for this time — thank you Rick for your work!
