  • The Media under a Global Threat - Part 1 Palestine
    Apr 9 2025

    We've taken this opportunity to welcome Talk Media regular David Pratt in to the studio to record this 2 part series starting with Palestine.

    With Trump taking up so much of the news space, this gives us a chance to do a deep dive into this horrific conflict that seems to have dropped down the news cycle.

    A huge thanks to David for taking the time to come in and give us the benefit of his experience and expertise.

    Part 2 Ukraine will be available next week.
