In our 14th episode with Australian economist Bill Mitchell, the conversation focuses on the MMT perspective on international trade. Bill explains what is meant by the statement “imports are a benefit, and exports are a cost,” where it fits into the history of economic thought, and some of its implications. A significant portion of the conversation is dedicated to explaining the crucial shift from the Bretton Woods fixed exchange rate system to the modern system of floating exchange rates after 1971. Bill clarifies that in a floating regime, a currency-issuing government is not financially constrained in its domestic policy by “trade imbalances,” as it was under Bretton Woods. The episode also touches on bond vigilantes, the IMF, and the shifting status of the US dollar as the world's reserve currency. William Mitchell is Professor of Economics and Director of the Centre of Full Employment and Equity (CofFEE) at the University of Newcastle, NSW Australia. He is also the Docent Professor of Global Political Economy at the University of Helsinki, Finland, and Guest International Professor at Kyoto University, Japan.

In today's episode I want to talk about the curious case of Plotinus. The late ancient Greek philosopher who's views on God and the world had a massive influence on subsequent Western thought. I want to draw out some surprising insights and neglected criticisms that can be gained by considering Plotinus' story of God and the world.CreditsHost: R.T.

It's our second week of “cucumber season” programming, and fair warning: we're really leaning into the late-summer goofiness. This week, we go hard on German gastronomy, with a deep dive into Europe's declining alcohol consumption and a recap of the utterly absurd row over the origins of Bratwurst. Because we don't want you to think we've totally lost the plot, we also had a perfectly civilised conversation with Robert Winder, the prolific author and sometime editor of The Independent and Granta whose new book, Three Rivers, comes out next week. Robert spoke with our producer Katz about the waterways that shape Europe as we know it—and about their future in a warming climate. You can purchase the book here on 28 August.  This week's Inspiration Station recommendations are the Danish film The Guilty and the audio recordings of Colm Tóibín's novels Brooklyn and Long Island. Our Happy Ending comes from Helsinki, which managed to go an entire year with no traffic fatalities! You can read more about the milestone achievement here and how they did it here. This podcast was brought to you in cooperation with Euranet Plus, the leading radio network for EU news.

John Bolton, Donald Trump's National Security Advisor who witnessed up close why he is so bad at making deals, joins Joanna Coles for an inside look at what it's really like being in the room with Donald Trump. Looking at Trump's first term Putin meeting in Helsinki, where briefing papers went unread as soccer played in the background, Bolton reveals a portrait of a president who prizes optics over substance, public relations over policy. With Vladimir Putin exploiting every opening, Xi Jinping taking notes, and Trump's envoy stumbling into Russian disinformation, Bolton exposes the dangerous mix of ego, improvisation, and manipulation at the heart of America's foreign policy.  Hosted on Acast.

Amorphis has built a reputation as one of Finland's most influential and enduring metal bands. With a career spanning more than three decades, they have consistently evolved while maintaining a deep connection to their cultural roots. In this special feature, we sit down with the band's keyboardist Santeri Kallio for an exclusive interview about the release of their new album, Borderlands.Formed in Helsinki in 1990, Amorphis quickly made their mark with their debut album The Karelian Isthmus (1992). While it established them in the extreme metal underground, it was Tales from the Thousand Lakes (1994) that truly defined their early success. Inspired by Finland's national epic, the Kalevala, the album introduced a bold blend of melody, atmosphere, and storytelling that set Amorphis apart from their contemporaries.As the years progressed, Amorphis moved beyond their early death metal roots. Albums such as Elegy (1996) and Tuonela (1999) reflected a willingness to experiment with progressive, folk, and rock influences. This creative spirit allowed the band to expand their sound and reach a wider audience while continuing to explore Finnish mythology and poetic themes within their music.A major turning point came with the arrival of vocalist Tomi Joutsen in 2005, whose versatile performance style reinvigorated the band. From Eclipse (2006) through Queen of Time (2018), Amorphis found renewed strength and critical acclaim, delivering records that balanced their trademark heaviness with rich, evocative themes. This era helped cement their standing as a leading force in modern metal.Now, with the release of Borderlands, Amorphis continues their tradition of pushing forward while honoring their past. In our interview, the band's keyboardist reflects on the group's journey, the making of the new album, and what this chapter means for both the band and its fans. Be sure to catch the full conversation and get a closer look at the legacy and future of Amorphis through the eyes of one of its longtime members.https://amorphis.net/

Donald Trump is due to meet with Vladimir Putin at 7:30am NZST to discuss the war in Ukraine. This will be the first time the pair have met since Helsinki in 2018, and the first time the Russian President has visited the States in more than a decade. Marco Rubio's former chief of staff and managing partner of Firehouse Strategies Matt Terrill told Heather duPlessis-Allan that this meeting is a ‘major step' towards a ceasefire. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

At the Alaska summit, Putin will likely be angling for a sequel of the Helsinki meeting, the infamous tête-à-tête in 2018 where Trump got rolled and cajoled. And because Trump refuses to accept that his charisma and imaginary friendship with Vladimir will never be enough to close a ceasefire deal, the best outcome for Ukraine is that Putin makes Trump mad by not helping him land his long-sought peace prize. Meanwhile, Russian intelligence has been busy recruiting assets to commit acts of terror and foment unrest in Western countries.

Every June, there is a significant cultural event in Malaysia, which is called the Gawai Dayak Festival, highly celebrated to mark the end of the harvest season and give thanks to the Iban agricultural God, Raja Simpulang Gana. In this episode of the Nordic Asia Podcast, Prof. Julie Yu-Wen Chen from the University of Helsinki talks to Dr. Gregory anak Kiyai, an expert of indigenous ethnic heritage from the Faculty of Creative Arts, University of Malaya, about the Iban indigenous people in Malaysia and the meaning of Gawai Dayak for them. In the photograph of this episode, listeners can see an image taken by Dr Gregory anak Kiyai during fieldwork with the Iban community in 2019. There is a group of Lemambang, revered ritual specialists and custodians of Iban customary law, seen here gathered in a longhouse setting. Typically, elderly Iban men, or Lemambang, are deeply knowledgeable in traditional Iban customs and serve as important cultural figures. They are often consulted for their wisdom and lead significant ceremonies and rituals in the longhouse, especially during Gawai Dayak. On the Nordic Asia Podcast website, Dr Gregory anak Kiyai provides an image of the Lemambang, dressed in traditional Iban ceremonial attire known as baju burung (Iban woven jacket), woven using kebat or sungkit techniques. These garments bear sacred motifs inherited from their ancestors. Their headdresses, called lelanjang, are adorned with feathers from the burung ruai (Argusianus Argus), symbolising reverence to the Iban war God, Aki Senggalang Burung.

El pasado miércoles Putin presentó al Gobierno de Estados Unidos una propuesta de alto el fuego para Ucrania. La propuesta incluye concesiones territoriales importantes por parte de Ucrania, como ceder el Donbás (las provincias de Donetsk y Lugansk) y reconocer oficialmente las reclamaciones rusas en Crimea a cambio de un armisticio. Más allá de esto poco se sabe, los detalles específicos no han trascendido, lo que ha provocado que tanto los ucranianos como sus aliados europeos se lo tomen con mucha cautela. Trump respondió rápidamente anunciando una reunión con Putin en Alaska el próximo día 15, es decir, este mismo viernes. Esta será la primera vez en casi una década que Putin pisa suelo estadounidense. La última fue un encuentro con Barack Obama en Nueva York allá por el mes de septiembre de 2015. Eso no ha sido obstáculo para que Trump y Putin mantuviesen una relación fluida durante el primer mandato de Trump. Se reunieron personalmente en una serie de cumbres del G20 (las de 2017, 2018 y 2019) e incluso llegaron a organizar una cumbre bilateral en Helsinki en 2018. Su sintonía personal es evidente, lo que contrasta con la tensa relación entre Trump y el presidente ucraniano, Volodímir Zelenski, marcada desde el principio por el desprecio mutuo. Zelenski ha rechazado ceder territorio y exige participar en cualquier negociación. Los Gobiernos europeos, informados directamente por Trump, comparten esta postura y ven la propuesta de Putin como una posible maniobra para evitar nuevas sanciones occidentales mientras la guerra continúa su curso. Rusia ocupa actualmente gran parte de Donetsk, Zaporiyia, Jersón y la totalidad de Lugansk y Crimea, territorios que anexionó formalmente en 2022. La propuesta de Putin implica que Ucrania retire sus tropas de Donetsk a cambio de un alto el fuego, pero no está claro si Rusia se retiraría de Zaporiyia y Jersón. En la Casa Blanca creen que Putin trata de congelar las líneas de frente actuales para negociar el control total de Zaporiyia y Jersón, pero sin ofrecer garantías claras a Ucrania. Trump considera la oferta interesante en tanto que Putin esta vez pide menos que hace sólo unos meses. La propuesta actual constaría de dos fases. En la primera Ucrania se retiraría de Donetsk y comenzaría un armisticio con las línea de frente actual. En la segunda Trump y Putin negociarían un tratado de paz definitivo que posteriormente presentarían a Zelenski. Ucrania y Europa rechazan ceder territorio sin armisticio y garantías de seguridad como la posible entrada de Ucrania en la OTAN, algo que Putin descarta de plano. Los europeos, liderados por Francia, Alemania y el Reino Unido, insisten en que cualquier acuerdo debe incluir a Ucrania y al resto de Europa que se ha involucrado en su defensa. La propuesta europea, presentada este mismo fin de semana, exige reciprocidad territorial y un alto el fuego incondicional. Entretanto, el ejército ruso ha intensificado sus ataques contra Ucrania, especialmente contra infraestructura y objetivos civiles, lo que hace dudar de la sinceridad de Putin y su voluntad de poner fin a esto. La presión que ha ejercido sobre él Trump en las últimas semanas con un ultimátum y amenazando con imponer sanciones a a países como la India por comprar petróleo ruso, parece haber forzado esta oferta de paz. Parece un buen momento, pero la simpatía que Trump tiene a Putin y su deseo de resolver el conflicto rápidamente podrían complicar las negociaciones para Ucrania y sus aliados, que tratan de evitar una salida en falso con concesiones inaceptables.

Netanyahu's latest move isn't subtle. He wants Israel to take full control of the Gaza Strip — dismantle Hamas, free hostages, and install a non-Hamas civilian government. On paper, it sounds like a decisive endgame. In practice, it's a minefield. The UN, the UK, and even some of Israel's own military leaders are warning this could be catastrophic, both humanitarian and legal. We're talking about tens of thousands of troops pushing into Gaza City, uprooting a million residents to the south, and expanding a controversial aid network that's already replacing the UN in distribution.I can't say I'm shocked. From the moment October 7th happened, this was always one of the plausible end states — Hamas removed from power entirely. What I didn't anticipate was Iran's weakened state factoring into the timing, or the fact that Israel might see that as a green light to act more aggressively. The trouble is, any operation that moves into the areas where hostages are held risks killing them outright. That's going to split Israel politically, because it forces a brutal question: if you were willing to risk their deaths now, why didn't you do it immediately after the attack?And that's before you even get to the problem of what comes after. Hamas leaders can't make a deal and then just go live quietly in Gaza. They'd have to leave. But where? You don't walk away from martyrdom rhetoric on Monday and spend Tuesday at Mario World in Orlando. Gaza under Hamas isn't just a state — it's a criminal syndicate, and that makes any negotiated exit almost impossible. Which means, if this plan goes forward, it's going to be bloody, messy, and controversial from the start.Trump's Putin PlayTrump's continuing to signal he'll meet with Putin “very soon,” possibly in the UAE. Early talk was that Zelensky would be part of a three-way summit, but Trump has apparently dropped that stipulation. Predictably, the Kremlin is treating this like a win, while critics warn it could legitimize Russia's aggression and undermine NATO. That's the Beltway framing.From what I'm hearing, it's not that simple. Trump has actually been harder on Putin lately than some people realize — moving nuclear subs into range, green-lighting sanctions, and generally signaling that he's done being strung along. This isn't 2018 Helsinki. It might be Trump testing whether Putin will only make a deal after feeling genuine pressure.None of this means a breakthrough is coming. It probably isn't. But it does mean Trump wants to own the narrative — that he's the guy who ends wars through direct negotiation. And until Ukraine or Gaza is resolved, his foreign policy record will feel incomplete. I think he knows that, and I think that's why this meeting's on the table at all.FBI Assisting in Locating Texas DemsIn Texas, the Democratic walkout drama is back, with Senator John Cornyn confirming the FBI is helping locate them. Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker is playing host, calling the state's collection of Democrats “refugees,” which is absurd. They're not refugees. They're political props in his own long-term campaign plans.Here's the thing — if you believe in what you're doing, you should want to get arrested. That would make this story bigger, not smaller. It's the most potent form of protest they've got. Instead, they're hiding out in hotels, funded by Beto O'Rourke's PAC, doing nothing to energize the very voters they're supposedly defending.They could be knocking on doors in the districts that are about to be carved up, rallying people who are about to lose representation. If they got dragged back to Austin by Texas Rangers in the middle of that, it'd be front-page news. Instead, we've got photo ops in Chicago. It's the same mistake they made in 2021 — swapping a real fight for a symbolic one, and then acting surprised when nothing changes.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:03:48 - Interview with Michael Cohen and Tom Merritt00:21:29 - Update00:21:57 - Gaza00:29:30 - Trump and Putin00:32:41 - Texas Dems00:36:07 - Interview with Michael Cohen and Tom Merritt (con't)01:01:12 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Un fuerte seísmo registrado en el extremo oriental de Rusia ha obligado a las autoridades de diferentes países con costas que dan al Océano Pacífico a emitir alertas por posibles tsunamis. Esta mañana Hawai y Japón estaban en alerta y miles de personas han sido evacuadas, aunque luego esos avisos se han levantado. A esta hora preocupan lugares como las Islas Galápagos o la Isla de Pascua, pertenecientes a Ecuador y Chile respectivamente.Varios países occidentales piden a aquellos que aún no lo han hecho que reconozcan a Palestina como un estado, sabremos más sobre esto. Estaremos en Moldavia, donde su presidenta ha denunciado injerencia de Rusia en las elecciones legislativas del próximo mes de septiembre. También en Estados Unidos para hablar de nuevo del caso Epstein y la relación con Donald Trump.Se cumplen 50 años del acta final del Helsinki, que establecía los principios fundamentales que debían cumplir los Estados firmantes.
