Thank you to @SamuelAgini for choosing The Wargame – a podcast – as his ‘favourite non-FT article of the year’ on the grounds that he can’t read 😂 https://t.co/P5L5WGv0Cb

I started reading the Economist when I was 19, on my lunch breaks at the ethernet cable factory in Glenrothes. I liked that it didn’t talk down to its readers too much. Anyway, it’s exciting that The Wargame is in their picks of the year. I hope someone in Glenrothes enjoys it.

Jobs like this don’t come up very often. The BBC is hiring a senior producer to work on the legendary Profile – in my opinion one of the best programmes on Radio 4 – and AntiSocial. Deadline 17th November: https://t.co/FloCioRkID

One of the reasons I really wanted to do this story on the pod — Polling shows a majority of Americans (80+%) seem to adore Canada. Only about 1/3 of Canadians have a favorable view of the United States. So what’s the long/term consequences of this trade tension?

The speed the Americans forced through the Trump Gaza deal is likely to be its blessing and its curse. I spoke to @asmamk and Tristan Redman about the days ahead in another Global Story special https://t.co/LzcRCvsTBR (international) https://t.co/zof4Yf9O5J (UK)

On an imagined 6 October in The Wargame podcast, Russia attacks the UK, NATO collectively wobbles & the US plays mediator instead of staunch ally. In the real world, Putin is actively testing NATO's defences. So how prepared are Britain & its allies? https://t.co/WGdBOcFZt5
