  • Andrew is tiresome and self-indulgent

    Between his desperate attempts to sound like Alan Partridge on the weekly “what we learned” monologues, and his verbose, exhausting speeches that overwhelm any of his interview subjects, this is another Monocle podcast I can’t listen to unless I’m trying to torture myself. With so many great hosts, like Fernando, Emma and Georgina, why do listeners have to put up with this bloated, boring sideshow?

  • Smug and Boring

    I listened to this for 15 minutes but that was all I could take. The number one thing that makes podcasting interesting and informative is when the broadcaster tries to see all sides of issues and has a sense of nuance. This show and the hosts are boring, self-referential, narcissistic, and smug, unfortunately typical for modern “progressives”. It could pass for satire it’s so bad.

How is Europe tackling the is... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ukraine and the EU finalise a fresh peace plan to present to Trump
Q: Do we suspect that the conversation would have been about, how do we actually do this if the United States just leaves us to it?
European leaders are increasingly looking for ways to handle the conflict independently, suggesting a shift towards greater self-reliance in security matters.
A show of unity between Europe and Ukraine
Q: Does President Macron feel under some kind of pressure to achieve some sort of resolution in Ukraine before the next French presidential election?
Yes, there is pressure on President Macron to achieve something in terms of peace negotiations before potential shifts in the political landscape.
A show of unity between Europe and Ukraine
Q: Do Ukraine and Europe now need to come up with some sort of framework that just does not include the United States?
Yes, very possibly. The new situation indicates that the US is no longer a reliable partner and Europe must find ways to defend itself.
Why is Europe taking a back seat when it comes to Ukraine’s peace?
Q: Aljona, can Zelensky sell any concessions to the Ukrainian people after four years of sacrifice?
Aljona believes there is a readiness to concede something, but nobody will be ready to legally sign off territories to Russia.
Why is Europe taking a back seat when it comes to Ukraine’s peace?
Q: John, how careful should Ukraine be about proposed peace deals?
Aljona indicates that previous peace deals have not been beneficial, and Ukraine needs to evaluate the seriousness of peace proposals.
