Friday Focus provides listeners with a focused, half-hour masterclass on the big issues, events and trends driving the news and current events. The show features Janice Gross Stein, the founding director of the Munk School of Global Affairs and bestselling author, in conversation with Rudyard Griffiths, Chair and moderator of the Munk Debates.
The following is a sample of the Munk Debates’ weekly current affairs podcast, Friday Focus.
The free portion of the program sees Janice and Rudyard discuss the machinations behind OPEC’s snub of the Biden Administration as the oil-producing cartel cuts its global output. What does this surprise move say about Saudi Arabia and its relationship with Russia and China? How is the U.S. likely to respond?
The donors-only second half of the show features a discussion of China-U.S. competition and Beijing’s big leadership confab next week that will see Xi appointed to an unprecedented third term as the country’s leader.
This podcast is a project of the Munk Debates, a Canadian charitable organization dedicated to fostering civil and substantive public dialogue.
