Global Reboot

16

Every day, experts from around the globe present their arguments for solving the world’s biggest problems. And every day, these experts disagree in small and large ways. At Foreign Policy, our approach is to share a wide range of opinions, side by side, day by day. But what if people could hear those arguments tested, in real time, under pressure from an opposing view–by an international cast of diplomats, journalists, academics and activists?That’s the idea behind Counterpoint, a new debate show from Foreign Policy, in partnership with the Doha Forum.Join FP deputy editor Sasha Polakow-Suransky and his guests, including anti-Brexit campaigner Gina Miller, Britain’s former chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng, South African author Sisonke Msimang, veteran Middle East peace negotiator Dennis Ross—and many more.

    Insightful and accessible
    I am not a foreign policy wonk and this podcast helped me stay informed of the many sides to these important issues. The new host is great too.

    Sooo Good!
    I’ll be honest, I was a little worried this was going to be a bit wonky. But this is just the opposite. The conversations are engaging and refreshing and the sound bites and music keeps the pace humming along! Well done!
