This program provides listeners with a focused, half-hour masterclass on the big issues, events and trends driving 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.

This week’s Munk Members podcast explores three stories in the news. First, Russia suffered a series of setbacks in its war aims this week from the sinking of a flag ship to overt signals by Finland and Sweden that they are joining NATO. How is Putin likely to react to these reversals? Where does the war go from here? The program rounds off with a discussion on the runoff elections in France for president and what Elon Musk is up to with Twitter.
