ESSENTIAL. Riveting and enlightening
Think you know geo politics? Think again. Arthur sounds like you’d imagine a classic FO diploma would be, v English accent, nice chit chat over the canapés - but as season one and two reveal, he knows the details of the countries and topics he talks about better than you can read or watch on most media. As an example you might have heard about the suez crisis, but I’m betting you don’t KNOW about it or how it resonates to where we are today. I’ve learnt so much and not much of it will make me sleep better to be honest - but I’d rather know what’s going on in the world. How actions with the best intention’s can have the most awful results; what drives politicians to their choices. The world is not a simple place - and everything is connected. This is a must-listen.
