About this listen

 Foreign Policy economics columnist Adam Tooze, a history professor and a popular author, is encyclopedic about basically everything: from the COVID shutdown, to climate change, to pasta sauce. On our new podcast, Tooze and FP deputy editor Cameron Abadi will look at two data points each week that explain the world: one drawn from the week’s headlines and the other from just about anywhere else Tooze takes us.

  • The Doomsday Seed Vault

    The Doomsday Seed Vault
    Aug 15 2025
    For years now, the Norwegian government has partnered with conservation groups to store seeds from around the world on an archipelago not far from the North Pole. The seeds are basically backups meant to secure the world's food supply in case the original supply is ever compromised—by war or natural disaster, for example. Adam and Cameron discuss the Svalbard Global Seed Vault and how it works. Also on the show: the economics of Alaska. For more on seeds, listen to ⁠State of Seed⁠, a podcast by the International Seed Federation with production services from FP Studios. A note to potential advertisers: Ones and Tooze is looking for a lead sponsor interested in underwriting the show for a year in exchange for advertising and promotional opportunities in all 52 episodes. The package could also include a stage presence in Ones and Tooze live shows, an executive-level briefing by Adam and Cameron, and other crossover events.
