Welcome to the World Briefing Podcast.
At a time when many people tell me they’ve stopped watching the news - because it feels overwhelming, exhausting, or simply disconnected from their lives - we’re asking a different question: What kind of global podcast would you actually want to listen to?
In this inaugural episode, I explain why we’re making the change, what you can expect in the months ahead, and how you can help shape what comes next.
We’ll still connect the geopolitical dots. We’ll still cover the stories that matter. But we’ll go further - into the trends, ideas, human stories, and overlooked corners of the world that rarely make the evening news.
And we’ll do it from where the story actually happens. Not from an air-conditioned studio in London - but from conflict zones and border crossings, airports and taxi rides, and the unexpected conversations that only happen when you show up.
That’s always been the World Briefing way. Now it has a microphone.
So here’s what I’d like to know: What should we cover? What stories are being missed? What would make a global affairs podcast genuinely indispensable in your weekly routine?

Because this isn’t just our podcast. It’s your World Briefing.
