In this episode, Damian and Zane speak with friend of the show Simon Anholt, the founder of the Good Country Index. We discuss how the Good Country Index is calculated, and the different factors that are taken into account. We go on to analyze the index's findings, which show that some countries are making a much greater contribution to global well-being than others.

We look at how the actions the United States takes affect its global perception. How do different presidents change how other countries view the U.S.? Listen in to this conversation with Simon.
