What in the World is Happening?
Manage episode 504155827 series 3459541
This is a fast-paced, witty “deep dive” into the week’s global headlines—treated less as isolated stories and more as episodes in a sprawling geopolitical drama.
From Beijing’s military parade and Trump’s tariff-fueled rhetoric to India’s delicate balancing act between Russia and the U.S., the narrative shows how alliances, economic tactics, and cultural shifts are interlinked.
The discussion doesn’t just stop at geopolitics: it widens to workplace culture (Gen Z’s well-being focus) and the ethics of AI, reminding us that global power struggles and personal lives are deeply connected.
