Independant thinking by Chatham house is one of the best podcasts from a think tank in the English language, including from the USA, UK, Canada and Australia, it takes them a short time to explain an issue and they are very disciplined even with complex issues and multiple guest!
Their level of depth and intelligent arguments is equivalent to what I find from the Australian economist and military expert Perun.
I hope some day it will go from 30 minutes to an hour and from once to twice a week.
Description
Chatham House director Bronwen Maddox hosts conversations with leading policymakers, journalists and Chatham House experts to provide insight into the latest international political issues.
Independent Thinking gives listeners the opportunity to engage with the high level conversations hosted by Chatham House.
