Our Editor's Take

The Globalist podcast provides the latest global news, business, and politics. It emphasizes current affairs and the history that shapes the world today.

For some, it's difficult enough to keep up with domestic news. One's own country may have enough political upheaval to occupy their mind. But no government can isolate itself from what happens around it. The politics from one republic informs another's, and so on. The Globalist offers a holistic view of what's happening worldwide.

The show considers what's happening in major cities like Paris and Beijing. The Globalist also explains how continents like Asia impact global economies. Its broadcasters examine political figures and trends. Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and President Biden affect the world in ways people may not know. The podcast may help some develop a clear sense of their relationship with international affairs.

The Globalist brings on guests and experts on the day's top stories. In one episode, Bill Hayton joins to discuss Myanmar's jailed former leader, Aung San Suu Kyi. Should Myanmar pardon his crimes? Or is this an ill-advised decision? Bill shares his opinion on this topic. Ellah Wakatamah also comes on to talk about contenders for the Booker Prize.

Christopher Lord, Monocle's editor for the US, appears on an episode. He talks with Mircea Geoana, deputy secretary general for NATO. Stephen Dalziel joins to discuss the war between Russia and Ukraine. Meanwhile, elections in Guatemala have become contentious.

Pop culture news also informs people about fluctuations in global and regional values. Many episodes end with a quick discussion of the latest in movies, music, and books. It considers the continued popularity of shark movies and the opening of "Barbenheimer."

The Globalist may be an excellent news podcast for understanding international politics. Each edition features exceptional speakers and informative discussions. Listeners can hear new episodes on weekdays.
