About this listen

 In this episode of Ponderland, David dissects a chaotic month of global headlines. From the contentious Trump-Zelensky meeting and escalating trade tariffs impacting Mexico, China, and Europe, to the renewed conflict in the Middle East and the UK's controversial spring statement, the world seems to be in disarray. A major focus is the explosive Signal app scandal, revealing a potential national security breach involving the US administration's plans for a missile strike on Houthi rebels in Yemen. David critiques the administration's handling of the situation and its attack on freedom of the press. Amidst the political turmoil, a personal highlight emerges: a visit to London's historic Coach and Horses pub, a former Iron Maiden haunt, offering a brief moment of respite. This episode delivers a critical analysis of current events, exploring international relations, political controversy, and the state of global politics in 2025.
