About this listen

In today's episode of Global Dispatch, we spin through a world that's literally turning faster — Earth just clocked its shortest day ever, and humans are scrambling to keep up.

President Trump throws another trade grenade, this time detonating a 50% tariff bomb on Brazil, while China’s factory prices plummet under pressure from sluggish global demand and ongoing U.S. spats. Over in South Africa, the U.S. Treasury Secretary ghosts the G20, choosing sushi over summitry.

Meanwhile, Trump and Putin trade insults like WWE rivals, NATO nervously watches, and heatwaves across Europe claim over 2,300 lives, proving climate change isn’t just hot air. Oh — and scientists are seriously considering subtracting a second from your future clocks. Because, sure, that’ll help.

If you like your world news served with a shot of satire, a pinch of panic, and a side of geopolitics, this episode's for you.

🎧 Tune in. Time’s literally running out.
