Long Distance Call

US election special


Listen Later

In this special episode Geraldine and Eliza look back at the Trump era and discuss how it's changed America.

In the Financial Times newspaper, the venerable commentator Martin Wolf articulates why this election matters to those outside the United States: America is the repository of western values. Thus democracy must thrive in the US in order for it to shine globally.

Tune in for some commentary and analysis about foreign policy and about the power of money and greed to influence political parties.

And...the final tips and predictions.
