Join Glenn and Estonian Member of the European Parliament, Urmas Paet to discuss China in light of the country’s recent sanctions against MEPs, the political state of affairs regarding the Arctic region and the need for an updated EU Arctic Policy, as well as recent elections in Guyana.

It is the beginning of a new central theme. Grassroots, de-centralised, bottom-up disruption. Starting with the recent GameStop story, Joachim and Glenn will be re-visiting this approach over the next year. 

What was and is GameStop all about? Who are the winners and losers of the financial plays? What makes it so controversial? And, how will it shape traditional financial markets, also by contributing to the financial exodus into Bitcoin (and other cryptocurrencies)? 

In this episode, Glenn & Jo welcome Bulgaria’s Former Foreign Minister, Daniel Mitov to discuss Russia (including its influence in the EU & Navalny), Bulgaria (current political and social dynamics), China (and the distrust it attracts), diplomatic etiquette, and international relations order. As Glenn says: "When you have someone like Daniel on board you can really talk about everything." 

With Managing Editor of Casino International, Jon Bruford on board, it was a perfect time to discuss the future of the global casino industry. The three didn’t stop there though as they went on to talk about trashy movies and sports betting. Apparently, it was so difficult to edit this episode because it was just so much fun. Expect some good laughs. Oh, and it is the potty mouth version.

In this first episode of the new season, Joachim and Glenn re-visit cryptocurrencies. They look at the recent explosive rise of Bitcoin, why it hasn't crashed as quickly as 2017/2018, and what to expect of the future. HODL!
