  • Always interesting

    Great to have a variety of guests. Helps me understand how the business world works and the real life impacts of decisions made around the world. Presenters always make sure that language is easy to understand and issues are relatable to general public.

  • Used to really enjoy it

    Listened to it every day when Micky was on it - but now so much of the show is political - and not at all balanced. I think the presenters think the Brexit referendum is upcoming and it’s their sole role to stop it. Ten years on it’s tiresome. Rarely get to end of an episode now.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

State of the Strait
Q: How are seafarers coping with the information environment and ongoing hostilities, and what can employers do to mitigate the stress?
Crew welfare hinges on timely, reliable information, stable communication, and robust support systems; employers can improve transparency and ensure crew changes, training, and welfare provisions keep pace with risk.
State of the Strait
Q: Given the gas and oil export focus in this policy, what are the implications for global energy markets if the ceasefire holds?
Exports may resume gradually, but sustained movement will depend on the ceasefire remaining in place and the broader security dynamics; two vessels moving through doesn't prove open access for the entire route.
State of the Strait
Q: What do you make of Maersk's assertion that one American-flagged ship moved through the Strait with U.S. protection, and what does that imply for broader traffic through the Hormuz waterway?
It signals cautious optimism about limited protection for specific ships but does not indicate a durable reopening of the strait or a scalable solution for daily transit pressures.
King of the Hill
Q: How might UAE leaving OPEC affect oil markets in the medium term?
It weakens OPEC's control, potentially increasing competition among producers and contributing to greater price volatility, though longer-term demand growth could still support price stability.
King of the Hill
Q: What is the significance of King Charles' diplomacy in Washington for UK-US business ties?
It reinforces long-standing ties and signals a reinforced alliance, which could stabilize cross-Atlantic trade and reduce political risk for UK businesses operating in the US.
