“F*** OFF!” Is Guenther Steiner coming back to F1?

Our special guest today is Guenther Steiner - the man who swore his way to Drive To Survive fame as Haas Team Principal (a team he set up)! DC is reunited with his old friend and they don’t hold back. So, when’s he coming back to F1? Does he think Max Verstappen should leave Red Bull? And who’s the best driver he’s ever worked with?

How’s Trump’s new American Empire going?

Did the capture of President Maduro give Trump the confidence to start a war with Iran? Christiane and Jamie trace how January's Venezuela gamble led directly to a disastrous conflict - and ask whether 'might makes right' has become the defining doctrine of this Presidency. They examine whether Secretary of State Marco Rubio is effectively running Venezuela as America's 'Viceroy', whether the US has colonised a sovereign nation and what that means for how it is viewed around the world. Plus, Christiane explains how Obama succeeded in making a deal with Iran where every other president failed, and Jamie gives his take on what The Odyssey can teach us about modern diplomacy.

Q&A: Is Poland Putin's Next Target & Netanyahu Defies Trump

A leaked US intelligence assessment suggests Putin is considering an attack on a NATO country and America's weapons stockpile is dangerously depleted after the Iran war. Christiane and Jamie assess whether the threat is real and why Russia's hybrid warfare is already testing NATO's limits. After Netanyahu has publicly rejected Trump's Gaza peace plan, Jamie explains why Hamas likely agreed to it knowing Israel would say no and why this pattern of rejection stretches all the way back to the 1990s. Plus: should Ukraine be allowed to bomb Russian cities in self-defence? The strategic attacks on Russia's economy are already escalating, but will it be enough to change Putin's mind or will he keep doubling down on a losing hand?

DC is reunited with Mika Hakkinen, his fiercest rival and McLaren teammate for 6 seasons! Turns out DC & Mika are still arguing over whose fault those crashes were! The two-time World Champion is the only driver Michael Schumacher ever feared. Mika shares stories of his battles with Schumacher, his catastrophic crash in 1995 and F1’s greatest ever overtake.

Q&A: The most unpopular US conflict ever & why is Trump so hostile to journalists?

How do you challenge a president who calls you fake news and walks out? Christiane reflects on the futility of confrontational questioning, and why she'd rather ask Trump how he became who he is. Jamie argues the Iran war is the most unpopular US military conflict he can remember, with no rally-around-the-flag effect and no stated objective successfully achieved. Could it lead to an uprising or ‘Arab Spring’ in the US, with Trump’s actions driving a potential midterm reckoning? Plus, Hamas has signalled willingness to disarm as part of a Gaza deal, but is this a sign of real progress or another false dawn in the peace process? Jamie unpacks what Tony Blair's Northern Ireland playbook might look like in Gaza and why none of it matters without an Israeli government willing to allow a Palestinian state.

Imran Khan: how did a national hero become a 'political prisoner'?

Imran Khan - the legendary cricketer and former Prime Minister - has now spent three years in a Pakistani prison. The UN says he is being held in solitary confinement in 'inhumane' conditions, something the Pakistani government denies. His supporters insist the charges are politically motivated. In this episode, Christiane speaks to Khan's son, Kasim, about what it's like to go months without hearing from a father known to be suffering serious health problems. She and Jamie are also joined by Zulfikar Bukhari, a former Minister in Khan's government, on the geopolitics of his imprisonment and why President Trump hasn't done more to help.

Has Nara Smith been gaslighting the girlies?!

Joanne's back from Ibiza via Manchester Airport, where she lost the will to live somewhere between Terminal 1 and Terminal 3. Vogue is calling Nara Smith out for gaslighting the girlies, plus Joanne has a Netflix special and is furious that Ray Gun got a documentary first, Noel Edmonds is releasing lobsters into the sea, Brendan chugged a live oyster the size of a child's leg, and there's a special place in hell for women who don't tell other women they've had a facelift.

Q&A: India's 'Cockroach' Protests, Ukraine's path to NATO & another term for Trump?

A 22-year-old international student launched India's "Cockroach Party" and has successfully forced the education minister to resign. Christiane and Jamie unpack how a tongue-in-cheek protest movement exposed widespread exam corruption, won government reparations, and may signal the beginning of the end of Modi's unchallenged power. They also explore whether Putin's apparent weakness makes NATO membership for Ukraine more realistic. Jamie explains why the answer is still no, but why Kazakhstan's president telling Putin to "freeze the war now" matters more than people realise. Plus, Trump wore a "Trump 2028" cap to the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Even if he was joking, does floating a third term normalise the erosion of constitutional limits?
