This week: welcome to the age of the strongman ‘The world's most exclusive club… is growing,' writes Paul Wood in this week's Spectator. Membership is restricted to a very select few: presidents-for-life. Putin of Russia, Xi of China, Kim of North Korea and MBS of Saudi Arabia are being joined by Erdogan of Turkey – who is currently arresting his leading domestic political opponent – and Donald Trump, who ‘openly admires such autocrats and clearly wants to be one himself'. ‘This is the age of the strongman,' Wood declares, ‘and the world is far more dangerous because of it.' Despite their bombast, these ‘are often troubled characters', products of difficult childhoods. But ‘the real danger' lies in their ‘grandiose plans' and ‘wish to secure their place in history by redrawing the map' whether over Ukraine, Taiwan or even Greenland. What drives them, and how worried should we be? Paul joined the podcast alongside the Financial Times journalist, and author of The Age of the Strongman, Gideon Rachman. (1:01) Next: Tesla owners, beware! Jonathan Miller writes in the magazine this week about the phenomenon of Tesla cars being defaced, damaged, and even set fire to. The brand's association with its owner Elon Musk has made it an ‘accessible but indefensible' target for activists. And, despite Musk's role in the Trump administration, this issue isn't confined to the US. Jonathan joined the podcast from his hamlet in the south of France to talk about how local Tesla-owners are preparing to fight back. A representative from the activist group Tesla Takedown did initially accept an invitation to join the podcast…  (15:50) And finally: are theatre matinees experiencing a revival? Playwright Jonathan Maitland highlights the resurgent popularity of theatre matinees in the arts lead of the magazine. Matinees have a long history within theatre and now offer a greater convenience for diverse audiences in a post-pandemic age. Jonathan's new play, Wilko: Love and Death and Rock n Roll, is a good example of this. At London's Southwark Playhouse until the 19th April, they've put on extra matinee performances to cope with demand (a small number of tickets are still available).  Jonathan joined the podcast alongside Nica Burns, the theatre producer and co-owner of the Nimax Theatres group which runs six West End theatres including the Palace, the Apollo and the Garrick.

This week: the world needs a realist reset Donald Trump's presidency is the harbinger of many things, writes The Spectator's editor Michael Gove, one of which is a return to a more pitiless world landscape. The ideal of a rules-based international order has proved to be a false hope. Britain must accept that if we are to earn the respect of others and the right to determine the future, we need a realist reset. What are the consequences of this new world order? And is the Trump administration reversing the tide of decline, or simply refusing to accept the inevitable? Michael Gove joined the podcast alongside the geopolitical theorist Robert Kaplan, author of the new book Waste Land: A World in Permanent Crisis. Robert argues that the true understanding of realism has been corrupted, and that democracy ‘can easily become the tyranny of the majority'. (1:06) Next: when does healthy scepticism over cholesterol become pseudoscience With ‘sky-high' cholesterol, the journalist Paul Wood has gone down an internet rabbit-hole to improve his heart health. He declares ‘I was convinced by the cholesterol sceptics'. There was once a time when it felt like the front pages of newspapers had a story raising doubts about statins – a type of medication to control cholesterol – every week. Now, the internet is full of medical misinformation around high cholesterol, an issue that will affect over half of Britons. So, what is the truth behind cholesterol? And when does healthy scepticism tip over into pseudoscience? Paul joined the podcast alongside the cardiologist Dr Christopher Labos, author of Does coffee cause cancer? (25:24) And finally: with a love of magic, is it any wonder Dickens could conjure up worlds full of surprises? When people hear ‘the magic of Charles Dickens' they undoubtedly think about the words - and the worlds - he created. Yet, many won't realise that the great writer had a love of showmanship and stage magic himself. Peter Conrad says that Dickens could have even been an actor. What makes Dickens's worlds so compelling? And how did his love of stagecraft influence his writing? Peter has authored a new book on the subject, Dickens the Enchanter: Inside the Explosive Imagination of the Great Storyteller, and joins the podcast.

European leaders appear alarmed by the speed the US has taken on its Russia plans. France is hosting an emergency summit with European and NATO leaders to discuss the situation. US and Russian officials are en route to Saudi Arabia for their own talks - Russia says Europe will have no role in these discussions. Former BBC Foreign Correspondent Paul Wood told Mike Hosking the meeting in Saudi Arabia is wider than a Ukraine peace deal. He says this is about the US resetting its relationship with Russia, but Europe is worried about the implications it will have on its security.

Celebrations in the streets of Israel and Gaza, with reports of ceasefire being reached. More than 46-thousand people have been killed in the region and nearly two million people have been displaced since the conflict began in October. BBC reports the first phase of the deal will see a six-week ceasefire and 33 of the hostages held by Hamas exchanged for hundreds Palestinian prisoners. Foreign Affairs Correspondent Paul Wood told Tim Beveridge it's essentially the same deal that's been offered since May. He says both sides are to blame to some extent for extending the deal, but it was largely Israel's Prime Minister prioritising destroying Hamas over getting the hostages home.

This week: SAS SOS The enemy that most concerns Britain's elite military unit isn't the IRA, the Taliban or Isis, but a phalanx of lawyers armed with the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), writes Paul Wood in The Spectator. Many SAS soldiers now believe that if they kill a terrorist during an operation, they'll spend decades being hounded through the courts. Paul speaks to former SAS soldiers who say that stories of men being ‘dragged back to be screamed at in interview rooms' are ‘flying around the canteens now'. Soldiers feel like ‘the good guys have become the bad guys – and the bad guys are now the good guys'. This is hurting morale and may eventually hit recruitment. Paul joins the podcast to discuss further, alongside Colonel Richard Williams, a former SAS commanding officer in Iraq and Afghanistan. (01:36) Then: how much more punishment can Ukrainian city Odesa take? The Black Sea port of Odesa occupies a unique role in Ukrainian – and Soviet – history. Added significance has been thrust on it by the Russian invasion: both symbolically, as well as practically, given how central it is to grain exports. But while war weariness sets in for Ukrainians – and their allies – the battle for Odesa is ever more crucial; further deadly aerial attacks took place only days ago. In the magazine this week, journalist Peter Pomerantsev reviews a new book looking at the port city by Julian Evans. Undefeatable: Odesa in Love and War is part-history book, part-memoir exploring many of the human stories that make up the city. How has the conflict changed the people of Odesa? And for Ukrainians who grew up consuming Russian-speaking media and culture, did the war challenge their identity? Peter joins the podcast alongside the author of the Spectator's Ukraine newsletter, Svitlana Morenets. (18:24) And finally: do we secretly love a good film flop? ‘I've fallen out of love with cinemas,' declares long-standing (or should that be long-suffering?) film critic Chris Tookey in the magazine this week. He argues the experience isn't as good, and Hollywood is partly to blame. Perhaps films are getting worse? Some people love a good film flop though – the big-budget blockbuster disasters. Fellow film critic Tim Robey is one such person, and he explores his love of Hollywood flops in his new book Box Office Poison, out now. But how has the experience of cinema changed?

His candid reflection on a youth marred by a painful upbringing, societal pressures of masculinity, and the lure of a dangerous lifestyle, offers a rare glimpse into the life of a man who found himself behind bars after a catastrophic altercation. This episode peels back the layers of adolescence, the critical role of positive influences, and the lifelong impact of our formative years. It's a tale that will grip you, as we traverse the landscape of personal trauma, peer influence, and the monumental effort required to change one's course of life.

There's lots of buzz around lab-grown meat right now, and you may be thinking, “What is this stuff?” On this episode, I am joined by Paul Wood, AO (Officer of the Order of Australia), who is going to give us a crash course on lab-grown meat, including the process of growing meat from cells, all in inputs involved, actual cost behind production, and the final product results. Paul takes the emotion, ethics, and politics out of the issue by focusing only on the business and technology aspects.  Through his analysis, he has come to one conclusion - it won't work - at least in its current form. There is a lot of work and tech advancement needed to produce cell-based meat at a level to make good on the lofty promise of feeding the world. Succinctly put, the technology works, but the business models don't. As an immunologist with decades of experience in vaccinations and large-scale fermentation, Paul has an in-depth understanding of what it takes for these tech companies to produce food-grade products and the challenges they are up against. Check out Paul's article: Eight Key Questions about Lab-Grown Meat. Episode resources and transcripts are available at www.sustainabledish.com.
