Absolute must if geo-politics interests you.
I first encountered Helen a few years back on a political podcast she did with David Runcimen. I was delighted when this podcast surfaced although I’d not come across Tom McTague until this. I am yet to find anyone out there more knowledgeable, impartial and thoughtful as Helen and the wonderful thing about this pod is they cover politics, geo-politics, energy, defence/military, the list goes on. Tom comes across as very measured, curious, not taking himself too seriously like a lot of journalists i have listened too, and not claiming he knows all answers, and it’s made me read pretty much everything he puts out as a journalist. They manage to present what could be two truths about a significant world issue, or at least raise the possibility there can be more than one way of interpreting an event or ongoing situation, in a very impartial and detailed way. This is one of the highlights of the week for me, I learn so much. 100% recommend.

Need to work a bit on structure and delivery style. It’s becoming more difficult to listen to.

This is probably my favourite podcast. I always look forward to new episodes. A fabulous listen when walking, cycling or even nursing a (anti-social) pint. Tom and Helen are a fantastic duo.

A political podcast with real, informed analysis. Also, a nice pairing of the two anchors.
