    Episode 4: Gin and COVID-19

    I was fortunate enough to speak with Dr. Nicola Nice, founder and CEO of Pomp & Whimsy, a gin liqueur company focused on women. We spoke about how her business has been affected by social distancing, how she first recognized the impact the pandemic would have, and how her company has adjusted. Pomp & Whimsy are donating to New York City food banks as part of their efforts to help the hospitality industry weather this storm. If you’d like to contribute as well, you can click here.

    Episode 2: Arab Spring in Hindsight

    I spoke with Kerry Boyd Anderson, a Middle East analyst, about why the analytical community was unprepared for the Arab Spring, even after 10 years of intense focus on the region. Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts and be sure to give a 5-star rating! NB: The Beacon has been renamed Inside Political Risk, since there are loads of podcasts already with that name. I wouldn’t want someone looking for the latest on Middle East politics to wind up confused by an “urban fantasy audio drama” or a couple of chiropractors. The content and perspective will be the same as always. This is a public episode.

    Episode 1: What is Political Risk?

    The Beacon is now a podcast! This newsletter will now have an audio component to it. I’ll be interviewing some of the most interesting people working in and around the world of politics, business, and political risk. Episodes will be posted in this feed and also wherever you get your podcasts. In the first episode, I talk with Ben Godwin, Head of Analysis at PRISM Political Risk Management (http://prismlondon.co.uk/) about what is and is not political risk, and what goes into the industry that explains it. Thanks very much for listening. Let me know if there are topics you’d like to hear covered. This is a public episode.
