  • Trump mails out economic threats like birthday cards — 14 countries warned of incoming tariffs.

  • China retaliates faster than you can say "supply chain disruption."

  • Markets hold their breath, oil prices cool down, and gold takes a nervous sip of tea.

  • Israel and the U.S. inch toward a Gaza ceasefire, while the Pentagon restocks Ukraine with more weapons.

  • Texas flood toll tragically crosses 100, prompting serious questions about disaster funding priorities.

  • Iran's presidential election sees historic turnout from women, shaking political norms.

  • Modi globe-trots across five countries, passport in hand, alliances on his mind.

  • Myanmar conflict threatens rare-earth supply, because why wouldn’t it?

  • And finally: The Esports World Cup kicks off, and yes—chess is now a medal sport.

It’s diplomacy, disaster, and digital duels — all in one episode.

🎧 Tune in to stay informed, entertained, and just the right amount of concerned.
