Across the world, from Europe to Asia, the Americas to the Middle East, tensions are rising between nation states. Traditional alliances and alignments are constantly evolving in the 21st century. An understanding of defence and security policy and the tides of political, social and economic changes is crucial for any informed understanding of our world. 2024 sees war in Europe and Israel, and elections in major economies, including the US, the UK, Taiwan, South Africa, and many others. Insurgencies flare in Yemen and Burma, tensions escalate in East Africa, and all around the world the international security architecture buckles under increasing pressure. With expert and experienced reporting on the ground from across the globe, Battle Lines combines on the ground reporting with analytical expertise to aid listeners to better understand the course of world politics and wars as the fault lines of global history grind and slip in an increasingly dangerous, and confusing, multipolar world.

I listen to a lot of different podcasts and though the concept and stories have so much depth and potential the way it is being told is really really poor. Easy to listen to voice but the story line is so disjointed and all over the place. You need to seek advice otherwise you will not be successful.
Fabulously researched and delivered

This is one of the best podcasts I have listened to. Faultlessly delivered and what became clear, well researched. It’s content undeniably sad and a reminder to how we blindly trust that the medical industry, scientists and pharmaceutical companies know what they are doing, and sometimes they don’t. When they don’t, the consequences are huge. I was stunned by the handling of it by government and how these people were treated by other humans.
High quality- but a strong suggestion.. add trigger warnings

kekkkkkkkkkkkkkly

Only a few episodes in; fascinating and well done thus far. A big suggestion though- please, please add a trigger warning at the start of each episode briefly mentioning nature of content covered in the podcast. Some incredibly heavy content that warrants addition of TW’s so people can choose whether to proceed given nature or content. Disappointed that for such a good podcast they haven’t been added.
