From 1 December, Bridging the Oceans episodes will be hosted on RUSI's Global Security Briefing as an archive of content.
Search 'Global Security Briefing' on any podcast player to access episodes, or visit rusi.org.

This podcast creates a platform to discuss the key defence and security questions of the world’s most dynamic region: the Indo-Pacific.

Bridging the Oceans, hosted by Veerle Nouwens, will explore what the Indo-Pacific is, where its limits lie, and what the fast-evolving defence and security issues are in this dynamic part of the world.

Together with a diverse range of experts, the podcast will also analyse today’s top geopolitical questions in the Indo-Pacific, understand how these are seen within the region itself, and consider how these issues may impact countries outside the region, like the United Kingdom.
