This episode follows one thread—from Britain’s fading empire to today’s oil chokepoints—to uncover the hidden logic behind global tension. It’s not about taking sides, but seeing the patterns that shape power, money, and conflict. Slightly unsettling, occasionally eye-opening… and hard to unsee once you do. 🎓 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join The Academy to get 2x weekly Zoom lessons with me⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://thebritishenglishpodcast.com/academy] 💬 Want to finally speak English with confidence, flow, and personality? Join Charlie's academy and leave behind hesitation, awkward pauses, and textbook English.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
