Description
Dave Talks Global Politics is your no-nonsense, straight-talking guide to the biggest shift in global power since the Cold War: the rise of BRICS and the emerging multipolar world.
Each episode cuts through the spin to break down trade reroutes, sanction blowbacks, gold hoarding, de-dollarization, and how Western policies keep handing advantages to the Global South — all in plain English, with dry humour and zero fluff.
We explore why more countries are queuing up to join BRICS, what it means for energy prices, supply chains, and the dollar’s future, plus the quiet but profound ways the world order is changing.
Short, sharp, and fact-based episodes that keep you ahead of the curve — no filler, just signal.
New episodes drop regularly. Subscribe now so you don’t miss what’s coming next.
