To start the week, Christopher says sayonara to the last of his Bronx questions by discussing the industrial futures of "Big Coal." With catastrophic implications economically, politically, and socially, it's still difficult to tell whether the United States will be worse off with a robust or nonexistent coal industry.

After a slightly suspicious election, Christopher discusses the "champion of democracy" Kenyatta Uhuru and his successive participation trophy as the international community remains baffled at Kenyan Democracy. Without social, political, and economic fortitude, Kenya appears to be on a collision course that only the West can stop.

After a highly successful and entertaining Bronx Invitational, Christopher relives his semifinal speech by discussing everyone’s favorite commercial train wreck: Uber.

To finish another chaotic week, Christopher discusses the forever exasperating and omnipresent issue in international politics: the Israel-Palestine question. Although Palestine seems closer towards repentance, recent actions from both the United States and Israel have said a UNESC-NO to a two-state solution.

To start what seems to be an incredibly newsworthy week, Christopher rendez-vous' with France's favorite political badboy, Emmanuel Macron. With endemic corruption, radical policies, and a seeming unconcern with the French populace, Macron is starting to resemble Marine Le Pen rather than Charles de Gaulle.

To start another week, Christopher discusses the purported "death at the dotted line" with tax reform. As Republicans sign away their political futures for base satisfaction, legislative conflicts within the party, within the constituency, and within the state and local governments should dissuade the party from pursuing such a weighty bill, especially at the ever important 2018 midterm.

To celebrate a belated International Podcast Day and recovery from a lost voice, Christopher analyzes the geopolitical game of Risk that China's pursuing in its One Belt, One Road Initiative. Through an ambitious hybridization of commercial, political, and military influence, China's certainly advancing its own power agenda, but at the risk of the rest of the international community.

With the seasons changing, Christopher examines one of the most unfortunately permanent phenomena of geopolitics: the Syrian Conflict. With little promise as the country nears collapse, the United States possesses a humanitarian, political, and social responsibility to finish what it started and save Syria from itself.

After another exhausting week, Christopher discusses the incredibly perplexing and aggravating potential secession of Catalonia. This region, which embodies petulant adolescence in a geographic landscape, has an incredibly myopic perspective on the secession's potential economic, social, and political implications.
