Friday Focus provides listeners with a focused, half-hour masterclass on the big issues, events and trends driving the news and current events. The show features Janice Gross Stein, the founding director of the Munk School of Global Affairs and bestselling author, in conversation with Rudyard Griffiths, Chair and moderator of the Munk Debates.

The following is a sample of the Munk Debates’ weekly current affairs podcast, Friday Focus.

The free portion of the program sees Janice and Rudyard discuss what Canada and the world’s advanced economies should take from the financial upheavals in the UK that led to the ousting of Liz Truss as PM. Are the bond vigilantes back? Is Canada at risk of a run on its bonds and dollar?

The donors-only second half of the show features Janice sharing the insights she garnered this week from spending some time with Henry Kissinger, one of the great geopolitical analysts of our time. What are Dr. K’s thoughts on AI, China-US competition, and how does this master stateman think the war between Russia and Ukraine end?

To access the full-length editions of the Friday Focus podcast, consider becoming a donor to the Munk Debates for as little as $25 annually, or $.50 per episode. Canadian donors receive a charitable tax receipt.

This podcast is a project of the Munk Debates, a Canadian charitable organization dedicated to fostering civil and substantive public dialogue.
