 The Wide Angle, we explore the state of the United States at its 250th birthday — not through punditry, but through the lens ofSteven Herman, veteran journalist, former VOA bureau chief and co‑host syndicated radio host Bill Bernardoni of the new national radio program America at 250: Due Diligence.

Steven explains why he and his team launched a show carried on 50 radio stations across the US, from conservative talk networks to liberal public radio which is rare in America’s polarized media landscape. Their mission: restore constitutional literacy and civil debate in a country where many voters, including seniors, have forgotten the basics of separation of powers.

We dive into the show’s first four episodes:

• What government owes its people

• Whether America needs an Article V convention

• The battle over federal vs. state power

• And the 230‑year fight over the Second Amendment

Steven shares insights from historians, former lawmakers, constitutional scholars and combat veterans that is revealing how America’s deepest arguments echo across generations. A thoughtful, timely conversation about civility, citizenship and the future of the American experiment.

On MoneyFM 89.3’s Home Brew Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen sits down with Singapore legend Jeremy Monteiro to unpack Singapore’s jazz surge.

Pianist, composer, educator, and one of the architects of Singapore’s modern jazz ecosystem, Jeremy explains how two decades of institutional support have transformed the scene. Esplanade’s Jazz in July (now in its 19th year), the Mosaic Jazz Fellows, and the Jazz Association Singapore have built a talent pipeline producing internationally placed musicians from Sean Hong Wei (Dizzy Gillespie Band) to Maya Raisha (Queens College) and drummer Yap Ting Wei (Tribeca Jazz Camp).

We explore the rise of three‑generation ensembles, the shift toward straight‑ahead jazz vocabulary, and why young Singaporean musicians are now sounding authentically “New York” before adding multicultural flavours like erhu, tabla or Chinese drums.

Jeremy also breaks down the economics of the streaming era, the reality of hybrid careers, and why Singapore’s venue landscape is stronger than cities three times our size with a new Esplanade jazz club opening later this year.

🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s International News Review, Steve Okun CEO APAC Advisors joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen with a Special USA@250 edition. 

We start with the USMCA bombshell: the US says it will not renew the landmark US‑Mexico‑Canada Agreement in its current form. this means the trade deal will not receive its automatic 16‑year extension. It’s a major shake‑up for North American trade, supply chains, and regional competitiveness. It has major implications for global markets and Asia.

Then to Singapore, where the US has approved the sale of 67 AGM‑114R Hellfire missiles. The US$22.3 million precision‑guided package underscores ongoing defence ties and Singapore’s long‑term deterrence strategy and the US desire to hedge against China.

We also look at America’s record‑setting July 4 fireworks, where 850,000 pyrotechnics will light up Washington and potentially shower the city with heavy‑metal pollution. Scientists are sounding alarms.

And for our kicker: the couple who scaled the Empire State Building antenna to unfurl a banner about peace and love and then ended up hand-cuffed in custody.
