Hi! Michelle here. I've been cranking out daily episodes over on Patreon.com/michcoll, and realized I have not tended to you, my beloveds, in a minute. So hi!!

So enjoy this episode, and if you like, go subscribe to the show which is as good as ever. There's a free trial, but even signing up for the Patreon without subscribing will give you access to free episodes there. You can listen to the show on all podcasting platforms including Apple, Spotify and Google!! And no, I'm not usually this nasal just a little congested. Enjoy!Today's episode was so thrilling, full of so many twists and turns, including international incidences, psychic celebrity connections and prairie hats causing eclipses in Central Park, that we had no choice but to release it for free to all to let you in on a little secret: We do this almost every weekday. The all-time-funniest Bryan Safi joins - whose show "Are You Mad At Me?" will be previewing in NYC before crushing at the Edinburgh Fringe Fest Tickets Here - and we get right into it. European vacations with parents, H*tler's 36 Hours In Vienna, some Broadway Gossip which leads to one of Michelle's strangest psychic experiences yet, and what DOES Glenn Dunks think of a certain film?

From the BBC World Service: China has agreed to start lifting its ban on Japanese fish, almost two years after it blocked imports over the release of treated wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear plant. Russia made more than $25 billion last year exporting fossil fuels to the European Union; that's $4.5 billion more than the E.U. gave Kyiv in aid. The Super Bowl halftime show is iconic, but in soccer, it's a different picture. European leagues and FIFA are spending big on pre-match entertainment, with halftime shows planned for the next World Cup. But do fans even want it?

On this week's Aftermath REWIND, Rebecca speaks with Dr. J Stephan Edwards about the death (and life!) of Lady Jane Grey.

This week on State of the Union, the guys react to the latest Gold Cup roster updates, as goalkeeper Chris Brady replaces the injured Patrick Schulte. Meanwhile, Fulham announces that Jedi Robinson has undergone knee surgery—though he was already ruled out of the tournament. What do these injuries mean for the USMNT's chances this summer? With the European club season officially in the books, Alexi and Mosse unveil their 2024–25 USMNT Abroad Awards, including picks for Goal of the Season, Assist of the Season, Player of the Season, and more. Over the weekend, Christian Pulisic and Yunus Musah got the start in their final Serie A match of the season and finished 8th overall in the standings. Weston McKennie and Tim Weah helped Juventus secure their Champions League spot with a win over Gianluca Busio and Venezia. Should Busio consider a move this summer? Then, a look ahead to the Champions League Final—PSG vs. Inter Milan this Saturday in Munich—and a breakdown of major Liga MX vs. MLS clashes on the horizon, including the FIFA Club World Cup playoff between LAFC and Club America as well as the CONCACAF Champions Cup Final between Cruz Azul and Vancouver. Will Brian White be able to lead the Whitecaps to victory without Sebastian Berhalter? To close the show, the guys discuss Christian Pulisic's Gold Cup decision, revisit iconic World Cup anthems, and share memories from the legendary 1994 U.S. World Cup squad.

We're back in Spain, and I've got questions. Why is Spain growing faster than Germany, France, and even the US? Why can they build high-speed rail for a fraction of the cost, and why are they the only major EU country where immigration is boosting GDP without blowing up politics?This week, we talk to Professor Joe Haslam in Madrid about what's being called Europe's miracle economy. Since COVID, Spain's growth has outpaced every major European economy, driven by smart immigration (nearly 1 million working Latin Americans), a tourism boom (especially in the cooling north), and €160 billion in EU funds that they've actually used. But it's not all cerveza and sunshine. Spain's power grid recently collapsed for nine hours, revealing the fragility of the green energy transition. Despite the boom, Spain's productivity and housing market are heading the wrong way. Public servants now outnumber private sector workers, and even El Guapo himself, PM Pedro Sánchez, is afraid to touch buy-to-lets. We also dig into what Spain's infrastructure success says about Ireland's failure. Is it Napoleon vs. Wellington all over again? Because if you inherited the Napoleonic state, like Spain did, you can build metros, fast trains, and affordable housing. If you inherited British common law? You get planning objections and overpriced shoeboxes in Drimnagh. Join the gang! https://plus.acast.com/s/the-david-mcwilliams-podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

He speculates as to why there is a resurgence of socialism in the Trump era. He then warns that the United Kingdom is bellwether for what could happen to America.

EP 1207 Unmasking Truth: How Dissent Becomes Dangerous in a Post-Truth World  In this gripping episode, Richard Syrett dives into the murky waters of truth and dissent with John Schoneboom, author of Stop Me If I Say Something Crazy. Schoneboom exposes how institutions silence dissent under the guise of combatting "disinformation," using case studies like COVID-19, the Syrian chemical attack, and 9/11's Building 7. With sharp wit, he questions whether science and democracy still thrive or if we've traded open inquiry for narrative control. This episode challenges listeners to rethink how truth is shaped and why asking the "wrong" questions can cost you everything.  GUEST: John Schoneboom, a novelist, playwright, and former journalist, fearlessly probes the shadows of the post-truth era. His book Stop Me If I Say Something Crazy dissects how dissent is silenced through censorship and narrative control, urging critical thinking over conformity with sardonic wit and intellectual rigor.  WEBSITE: https://www.trineday.com  BOOKS:Stop Me If I Say Something Crazy Surrealpolitik: Surreality and the National Security State Learn more about your ad choices.

Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness offers more than a critique of empire—it's a meditation on the slipperiness of truth, the fragmentation of self, and the unsettling possibility that meaning is just another European export gone missing. This episode peers into the novella's narrative hall of mirrors, examining its existential fog, moral vertigo, and the peculiar power of a story that both reveals and withholds in the same breath.

My guest on the show today is Thomas Richard, CFA, Portfolio Manager at Philippe Hottinguer Gestion, based in Paris. Thomas has been diving deep into European microcaps – a market segment he describes as “so unloved and uncovered,” with unique inefficiencies and opportunities. In our conversation, Thomas lays out why Southern Europe – especially countries like Spain, Italy, and Greece – is currently one of the most interesting regions for microcap investing. He explains the value of bottom-up research, the importance of direct interaction with management teams, how non-European investors can begin navigating this often-overlooked space, as well as some of the structural risks that exist in this space – including governance concerns and delisting threats. We also touch on specific names like Euroconsultants, Shelly Group, Reway, and ALA, and for full disclosure, I am not a shareholder in any of them.

The delay of President Trump's 50% tax on European imports gives both sides more time to negotiate a trade deal. But what that agreement will look like remains unclear.

This week we talk about greenhouse gases, renewable energy capacity, and China's economy.We also discuss coal power plants, natural gas, and gigatons.Recommended Book: What If We Get It Right? by Ayana Elizabeth JohnsonTranscriptIn 2024, global CO2 emissions hit a new all-time high of 37.8 gigatons, that figure including emissions from industrial processes, oil well flaring, and the combustion of fuel, like petroleum in a vehicle.And for context, a gigaton is one billion metric tons, which is about 2.2 trillion pounds. A single gigaton is about the weight of 10,000 fully equipped aircraft carriers, it's about twice the mass of all human beings on the planet, and it's approximately the same mass of all non-human land-mammals on earth.That's one gigaton, and global CO2 emissions last year hit 37.8 gigatons; so quite a lot of carbon dioxide headed into the atmosphere, every year, these days.That's up about .8% from 2023 levels, and it resulted in an atmospheric CO2 concentration of about 422.5 parts per million, which is around 3 ppm higher than 2023, and 50% higher than pre-industrial levels. And again, for context, if we don't want to experience global average temperature increases, more extreme weather, and disrupted water cycles, the general consensus is that we want to keep atmospheric CO2 levels at or below 350 ppm, and we're currently at 422.5 ppm.That said, while emissions grew last year, mostly because fuel combustion increased by around 1%, which overshadowed the decrease in industrial process emissions, which was down 2.3% for the year, emissions growth in 2024 was less than GDP growth; and that's important because for a long time it was assumed that in order to grow global wealth, according to that metric for wealth, at least, more fossil fuels would need to be burned, because that was the pattern for a long time, industrial revolution, onward.Beginning in the early 2000s, though, GDP growth and emissions growth diverged, and that decoupling has become more prominent as many wealthy nations, including the US, have upped the efficiency of many previously energy-hogging aspects of their economies—things like appliances and the aforementioned industrial processes—while also shifting a lot of energy generation away from massively polluting fuels like coal and oil, over to less-polluting fuels like gas, and non-polluting sources like solar and wind, and in some cases nuclear, as well.This relationship varies significantly from country to country, and the benefits are mostly being seen in so-called advanced economies right now, as many poorer nations are still seeing increased emissions from more polluting power sources, generating electricity, and the growth in wealth leading to more people buying cars and scooters, many of which run on dirty fuels.In the US, though, GDP has doubled since 1990, but CO2 emissions have dropped back down to around 1990 levels.Which to be clear is still a whole lot, as Americans consume a lot of stuff and use a lot of energy, and there are a lot of people living in the US using all that energy and buying all that stuff. But it serves as a good example of this divergence, which we're also seeing across the EU, where European economies, on average, are 66% larger than in 1990, and CO2 emissions are about a third lower than levels from that same year.What I'd like to talk about today, though, is how this dynamic is playing out in China, a place with a staggeringly high population, a rapidly enlarging middle class, and a whole lot of energy needs.—China is a renewable energy powerhouse.It's an energy of all kinds powerhouse, truthfully, but its development of renewable energy technologies, and its deployment of those technologies, has been truly remarkable, especially over the past decade or so.China has more renewable energy capacity—mostly solar and wind—than the next 13 countries combined. The US comes in second place, but China has four-times as much renewable energy capacity than the US.Despite that, though, because of China's huge population and its remarkable wealth-spreading success story, having brought something like 800 million people out of poverty over the past 40 years, a lot of people in the country need a lot more energy, every year. Because as people make more money, they tend to use more electricity and heat, and they tend to buy more things, need bigger homes, and so on. All of which requires more energy.So even though they've been building solar panels and wind turbines at a blistering rate, spreading these things all over the place, massively increasing their capacity for clean electricity, they've also been building more fossil fuel-burning power plants, especially coal power plants, and that's made it the world's biggest emitter of greenhouse gases; a little less than half of the country's total installed generation capacity burns fossil fuels, which is a huge drop from even a handful of years ago, but because so much of the remaining fossil fuel stock is coal-burning, those energy assets account for an outsized portion of global emissions.New, official data released by the Chinese government, so probably smart to take it with a grain of salt, though these sorts of numbers are usually more reliable than the economy-related numbers they put out, these days, but new data was crunched by Carbon Brief, and they found that March of 2024 was China's most recent peak in terms of emissions, and since then, their emissions have dropped by 1%.The drop might be accelerating, too, as they also found that new installations in the first quarter of 2025 dropped emissions by 1.6% compared to the same quarter in 2024, so they may be scaling up their renewables deployment efforts, which could lead to even more of a drop.And remarkably, China's power sector tallied an emissions drop of 5.8%, despite demand for power increasing by 2.5% that same period: which suggests that although China's population is still wanting more electricity and stuff, the same energy, or rather, a bit more of it, now produces fewer emissions, which means the ratio of renewables to non-renewables in their grid is shifting further in renewables' favor.Now, as with many other countries, China is beginning to replace coal in some of their power plants with natural gas, instead of swapping them out for solar, wind, and nuclear. Which is absolutely better than coal, but gas still emits CO2 when burned, and there are entirely different problems associated with gas infrastructure, including leaky pipes than allow methane to seep into the atmosphere, which stays up there for a shorter duration than CO2, but is a lot more potent, in terms of heat-capture—so gas in better in some ways, especially short-term ways, than coal, and less polluting for people on the ground, too, but definitely not as good for long-term outcomes as renewables.All that said, there's some optimism here, as this is the first time this sort of peak and drop has been noted in China's emission numbers in a context where that drop hasn't been directly attributable to economic factors; the pandemic, for instance, where a lot less energy was needed, fewer people were driving, and thus there were far fewer emissions globally, for a while.There's a chance, though, that this trend could be disrupted by the burgeoning trade-war between the Trump administration and essentially everyone, but China in particular. The China-facing component of Trump's tariffs has been mellowed for a few months, but is still significant at around 30% as of the day I'm recording this. And that could lead to a rewiring of global supply chains, but also a shift in what China manufacturers are producing, how they're getting those goods to their destination.Those shifting variables could lead to short-term or long-term changes in who's producing what, how it's being shipped, and thus, what sorts of energy expenditures we'll see, and how that energy's being produced, because of the peculiarities of those new, perhaps rapidly deployed, needs.Show Noteshttps://www.worldbank.org/en/news/press-release/2022/04/01/lifting-800-million-people-out-of-poverty-new-report-looks-at-lessons-from-china-s-experiencehttps://e360.yale.edu/features/china-renewable-energyhttps://arstechnica.com/science/2025/05/analysis-shows-that-chinas-emissions-are-dropping-due-to-renewables/https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-clean-energy-just-put-chinas-co2-emissions-into-reverse-for-first-time/https://mn350.org/understanding350https://www.iea.org/reports/global-energy-review-2025/co2-emissionshttps://www.iea.org/commentaries/the-relationship-between-growth-in-gdp-and-co2-has-loosened-it-needs-to-be-cut-completelyhttps://wmo.int/media/news/record-carbon-emissions-highlight-urgency-of-global-greenhouse-gas-watchhttps://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-global-co2-emissions-will-reach-new-high-in-2024-despite-slower-growth/https://ourworldindata.org/co2-emissions This is a public episode.

Late Sunday night and into Monday morning, Russia launched its largest drone and missile attacks on Ukraine since the start of its full-scale invasion in 2022. Ukraine's air force said Russia launched over 350 explosive drones and at least nine cruise missiles in the attack, which followed a similar aerial assault one day earlier that killed at least 12 people.
