Bradley Hope returns to the podcast.
Some of the things that stand out from this episode that I would encourage you to stay around for include…

  •  the Shiek Down, this brazen transference of power and wealth which MBS oversaw.
  • Bradley’s take on the supposed sports-washing this region has been all over the news for, specifically here, referring to football and golf.
  • The US/Saudi relationship
  • NEOM
  • And in between all of that a sense for MBS as told through the reporting and journalism of one of the best.
