Hi. I’m Paul Adamson, the founder of Encompass, an online magazine about the European Union and its place in the world and, through also our podcasts and live events, a space for discussion and debate. These podcasts are me “in conversation with” personalities that I think have interesting things to say. They are deliberately informal and are designed to be illuminating as well as, hopefully, entertaining.

Great podcast for Europewatchers

I have enjoyed and learnt a lot from listening to this podcast. The speakers are often eminent experts on current affairs and European politics.
My only request for improvement would be a higher quality of audio for the main speaker, Paul Adamson. His audio is often slightly distorted.
