Turki, Julio and myself listen to Neda, an Iranian national, tell us about the situation in Iran. We talk about the past and present as we try to understand what led to the uprising we've all heard about.
We also take on a couple of other stories, like Micheal Jackson's death and the EU elections.

Turki and I tackle all things middle eastern and European in this "two person panel"(tm) episode. Financial Crisis, EU elections, Israel, Three Strikes law, comments on last episode and more...

Roger from East Meets West (and from San Francisco) and Mohammed "the kid" from Qatar join me in this episode as we wait for that guy from Saudi Arabia to remember he's due for our panel. Yes, Turki forgot about us a second time (and he'll never hear the end of it). He does end up joining us though, and we tackle a number of issues, some very serious and some really not... Petty much as usual.
Some of the topics we talk about include: police violence at the G20, Talibans resurgence, Ahmadinejad at the Durban II conference, Obama and south America and the EU elections.
Enjoy!

In this second special we take on the whole GOP! Well, maybe not, but Brian,Richard and Randy take on the difficult task of explaining to a poor silly Frenchman what the Republican party and ideas are all about.

We talk about the (often caricatured) media portrayal of their views as well as the major issues that seem to drive a wedge between the left and the right, and that often seem to be considered as extremes in many parts of the world: taxes, government reach, religion, arms control and much more.

We hope you enjoy the show and find that you understand the reasoning behind the republican's ideals a little bit better, or at least that you have fun listening to our ramblings!

Two newcomers join the club. Maria from Sweden and Charles from Singapore complete this month's trio. Just to give you a quick preview, let me tell you what titles I was thinking about for the episode: "Earth Hour in the Nude" and "Fun Swedish Nurse Stories". Yes, I know!
So we had a lot of fun during the show, but we also tackled serious issues though, like "these tough economic times" (drink), the pope's controversial statements and the ICC's latest rulings. As well as pirate trials in Sweden, the end of French open bars and stories from Singapore that you won't know whether you should laugh at or feel sad about...
Enjoy!

It's seems I'm unable to keep the show to a reasonable length... No matter, with guests like Tom (from the US), Julio (from Argentina/Netherlands/Space) and Turki (from Saudi Arabia), anything less would seem like a waste.

This time we focus around serious and controversial topics like the Australian fires, the Isreali election, the terrorist attacks in Cairo, Hugo Chavez's referendum and the right to be a revisionist, as well as more light hearted topics like the Oscars and the oil companies' secret death rays from space.
