If You're Listening
The world is on fire. There's a coup. Inflation is through the roof, and AI is taking our jobs. What does it all mean? Each week, Matt Bevan explains the biggest story in world news while hiding in his basement from assassins and authoritarian regimes. Recent episodes include an exploration of the relationship between India and China, a closer look at the Saudi Arabian city of NEOM, the conflict in the Middle East, the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Iran, and Ukraine's incursions into Vladimir Putin's Russia. Matt Bevan draws connections between stories from the past and the events of the present to help listeners understand world news and international affairs. The podcast also features series about big moments in world news; previous series have focused on the United States presidential election, the United Kingdom's 14 years of Conservative Party leadership, Donald Trump's relationship with Russia, Donald Trump's presidency and promise to Make America Great Again, the Mueller Report, Vladimir Putin's scheme to destroy western democracies, how the relationship between Australia and China came to the verge of collapse, and Australia's turbulent history with climate change. There's a new episode of If You're Listening every Thursday.

Very enjoyable, informative podcast
FAR Left Rhetoric
Nov 12
I consider myself left of center and even for me this podcast is so far left, rationality is questioned. I’m also not American but even I’m taken aback by how anti-American the rhetoric is. If you’re into that kind of thing, then this is the place for you but even as a lefty, it’s too much for me. I prefer unbiased news.
Amazing!

If you're struggling to work out how the world got to the mess in Ukraine : go and listen to Russia if you're listening. It is quickly apparent that it was inevitable. Great Journalism. Listen to all series.
