2025 on The Interview

2025 on The Interview A special episode of The Interview, featuring three of the most compelling conversations from 2025. The Archbishop of Canterbury is the symbolic leader of the Anglican Communion, a figurehead for more than 85 million people worldwide. Justin Welby stepped down from the role in late 2024 over his handling of abuse in the Church of England. In this interview, his first since his resignation, he tells BBC presenter Laura Kuenssberg he is deeply sorry for his failure, and that of the church, to serve the victims and survivors appropriately. Australia’s ground-breaking social media ban for under-16s drew the attention of the world when it was enacted in December. Communications Minister Anika Wells is in charge of the policy, and told the BBC’s Australia Correspondent Katy Watson that she is trying to save a generation, with seven out of ten Australian young people suffering harm online. Despite opposition from tech giants, she says she is standing firm on the side of parents not platforms. Music legend Stevie Wonder’s career spans seven decades and has brought him numerous awards including Grammys, a Golden Globe and an Oscar as well 100 million record sales. Whilst on tour in the summer, the American Ghanaian musician, who has been blind since birth, spoke to BBC presenter Annie Macmanus about his music and his childhood.

Power, Politics, and Peace in Somalia

Somalia has undergone significant transformations, evolving through three republics. The current federal system, which was established in 2000 through the Djibouti settlement, is based on a parliamentary model, democratic system, clan power-sharing, and regional autonomy. However, recent moves by President Mohamud’s administration to shift toward a more centralized presidential system have sparked controversy. His government’s attempts to consolidate power have alienated opposition groups and key federal member states. While the country has made slow but steady progress, governance disputes and persistent security threats continue to challenge its path to stability. Military victory against Islamist insurgents remain out of reach, making the involvement of an external third party essential to negotiating a peace settlement. Mvemba is joined by Dr. Afyare Elmi, political scientist and research professor at the City University of Mogadishu, to explore the causes of Somalia’s ongoing security challenges, political landscape, and governance struggles.

#283: Confessions Of An Economic Hitman | John Perkins

In 2007, a chance encounter changed my life forever when I was handed “Confessions of an Economic Hitman” by John Perkins before heading out on a vacation. The parallels between the way that the IMF and World Bank operated with poor countries such as Ecuador drew surprising connections in my own life to how the local mortgage companies were extending credit during a housing boom to customers that should never have been considered. It was my proverbial “lightbulb moment”. John Perkins explains how multinational engineering firms such as the one he worked for in the 1970s would work with globalist banking institutions to enslave countries with debt in order to get them under their control. Once captured, America would extract the country’s natural resources in exchange for partial repayment of the debt and the country would slowly slip into poverty. While America busied itself with endless unwinnable wars in the Middle East, China quietly took the Economic Hitman model and modified it for use in Africa and South America with tremendous results. The EHM of Perkins’ past now has competition from the East, and the stakes could not be any higher.Sponsors:Emergency Preparedness Food: www.preparewithmacroaggressions.comChemical Free Body: https://www.chemicalfreebody.com and use promo code: MACROC60 Purple Power: https://c60purplepower.com/Promo Code: MACRO Wise Wolf Gold & Silver: www.Macroaggressions.goldTrue Hemp Science: https://truehempscience.com/Haelan: https://haelan951.com/pages/macroSolar Power Lifestyle: https://solarpowerlifestyle.com/Promo Code: MACRO LegalShield: www.DontGetPushedAround.comCoin Bit App: https://coinbitsapp.com/?ref=0SPP0gjuI68PjGU89wUvMacroaggressions Merch Store:https://www.teepublic.com/stores/macroaggressions?ref_id=22530LinkTree: linktr.ee/macroaggressionsBooks: HYPOCRAZY: https://amzn.to/3AFhfg2Controlled Demolition on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08M21XKJ5Purchase "The Octopus Of Global Control"Amazon: https://amzn.to/3aEFFcr Barnes & Noble: https://bit.ly/39vdKeQOnline Connection:Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/Macroaggressions Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/macroaggressions_podcast/ Discord Link: https://discord.gg/4mGzmcFexg Website: www.theoctopusofglobalcontrol.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/theoctopusofglobalcontrol Twitter: www.twitter.com/macroaggressio3 Twitter Handle: @macroaggressio3 YouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UCn3GlVLKZtTkhLJkiuG7a-Q Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/2LjTwu5John Perkins:Website: https://johnperkins.org/

María Corina Machado, Venezuelan opposition leader: ‘our fight for freedom is a fight for peace’

Lucy Hockings speaks to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado about the fight for democracy in the South American country. She’s been in hiding since last year’s presidential election in Venezuela, when incumbent Nicolás Maduro declared victory in a contest that was widely dismissed on the international stage as rigged, sparking widespread protests. Around 2,000 people were arrested in the crackdown which followed, among them many members of her opposition coalition. Machado, who had managed to unite the bitterly divided opposition ahead of the election, went into hiding for fear of arrest. She has however continued to give interviews and uploaded videos to social media urging her followers not to give up. The Nobel Institute awarded Machado the 2025 Peace prize for “her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy" in Venezuela. She defied a travel ban to reach Oslo, with Nobel Committee chair Jørgen Watne Frydnes describing her journey as "a situation of extreme danger". The Interview brings you conversations with people shaping our world, from all over the world. The best interviews from the BBC. You can listen on the BBC World Service on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 0800 GMT.

Israel's Intelligence Breakdowns: Yaakov Katz

Michael speaks with Yaakov Katz, former editor-in-chief of the Jerusalem Post and author of the new book While Israel Slept: How Hamas Surprised the Most Powerful Military in the Middle East. Yaakov discusses how the catastrophic intelligence failure leading up to October 7th was rooted in a moment of "lack of imagination" and Israel's fatal commitment to the misbelief that Hamas wanted quiet prosperity, not war. He connects this failure to Israel's dangerous over-reliance on technology. Yaakov also breaks down how Gaza helped elevate the profile of Qatar as a major regional diplomatic power.

2025 in Review: Starmer's Year of Drama

A year is a long time in the podcasting world, especially for podcasts keeping a close eye on the highs, lows, trials and tribulations of government. Because it has been quite some year for Keir Starmer and his team - and for British politics more generally. We’ve had reshuffles, resignations and resets. The rise of Reform. The breakthrough of the Greens. Promised policy blitzes. A planned rewiring of the state. The start - apparently - of the government’s delivery phase. A government-defining budget. Some government-disrupting leadership challenges - real or imagined. And every now and then someone called Donald Trump crashes into the picture. The IfG team and the Financial Times’s Public Policy Editor look back on an eventful 12 months and pick out the big moments of 2025 - the most significant stories, the big political developments, and the key appointments that could shape the year ahead. Not all of these will have made huge headlines. Perhaps they should have done - let’s see.
