  • Please edit!

    Please please please, start to edit this podcast in a more disciplined manner; each episode is now simply too long. You should aim for 30 mins, and each episode would be much better if it was; there’s so much fat that can be cut.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ukrainian counterattack 'liberates 200 square kilometres' & remembering David Knowles, creator of 'Ukraine: The Latest'
Q: Hi David. Very short answer, very simple answer is no. There's nothing we can know for certain. War is always a very confusing activity.
The hosts discuss the fog of war and the limits of certainty, emphasizing that even analysts must accept uncertainty and legality when reporting on ongoing conflict.
Kyiv hit by longest air-raid alert since war began & frontline troops test rifle-wielding robots
Q: Can you talk through some of the stories behind the musicians involved in the Ukraine Freedom Orchestra?
Musicians travel from across Ukraine and beyond, many returning home only in summers; some have had to pause or be drafted into the army, yet they keep rehearsing and performing to sustain cultural life and morale amid the war.
Kyiv hit by longest air-raid alert since war began & frontline troops test rifle-wielding robots
Q: What was the moment you thought you needed to start a new orchestra made up of Ukrainian musicians?
The idea emerged as a direct response to Putin's claims about Ukrainian culture; the project grew when Ukrainian and diaspora musicians were contacted through contacts in the opera world, ultimately forming an ensemble of 75 musicians who could tour and embody Ukrainian resilience.
Exclusive: Russia defenceless in the Mediterranean & Crimea's ‘highway of death’ under constant drone attack
Q: What are the sensors on British ships and how do they help detect submarines?
Tom Cotterill describes a Dutch technology from Optics 11: a fibre optic cable trailing behind ships that uses lasers and sensors to detect noises from submarines and other underwater threats, enabling monitoring of undersea infrastructure and naval movements.
Exclusive: Russia defenceless in the Mediterranean & Crimea's ‘highway of death’ under constant drone attack
Q: Can you explain why Russia is said to be defenseless in the Mediterranean?
Tom Cotterill explains that NATO pressure on Russia has intensified, preventing the Black Sea fleet from maintaining a Mediterranean presence after years of activity, with Syria potentially hosting future bases and Libya being considered as an alternative. This shift leaves Russia without the usual maritime reach in the region.
