This week on Mid-Atlantic, Roifield Brown hosts a packed panel to break down Donald Trump's latest economic gamble: a 10% blanket import tariff and steeper levies on select countries, with China squarely in the crosshairs. The result? Global market chaos, retaliatory threats, and international alarm bells over the US's role in the rules-based economic order.Joining from across the Atlantic and the US are Logan Phillips in D.C., Michael Donahue in L.A., and Cory Bernard in Manchester. The panel weighs whether the tariff plan is part of a coherent economic strategy or just political theatre aimed at riling up Trump's base — spoiler: coherence is not in attendance. More than just a trade war, this marks a serious erosion of trust in the US as a trading partner. The dollar might be strong, but America's brand value? Not so much.The second half turns sharply towards the UK's options in a world where the US is a geopolitical liability. Roifield pitches a Commonwealth-centric economic bloc as a post-Brexit survival strategy — cue a full-on diplomatic skirmish. What follows is a clash of economic realism, nostalgia, and pride as the panel debates whether Britain should grovel, realign, or get louder. Yes, tempers flare. And yes, someone gets called Neville Chamberlain.Five Standout Quotes:“This was not Team Trump's best moment. It's like trying to put out a fire with gasoline.” – Logan Phillips“If you know tariffs are coming and then vanishing, there's billions to be made — and lost. That's terrifying.” – Michael Donahue“Brand America just took a six-trillion-dollar hit. But it's the trust deficit that really stings.” – Roifield Brown“Trump won't lose his base until their wallets feel it. If they can't feed their families, that's the break.” – Cory Bernard“I'm not giving away the Sudetenland — I'm trying to build a coalition against economic lunacy.” – Roifield Brown Hosted on Acast.

This week's Mid-Atlantic felt like reading classified memos in the group chat, except the group chat accidentally included a journalist and the memos were about bombing Yemen. Host Roifield Brown and his panel of sharp minds, Aram Fischer in Oakland, Denise Hamilton in Houston, Steve O'Neill in London, and Leah Brown in Broadstairs, looked at two transatlantic absurdities: national security leaks from Team Trump 2.0, and a British Labour government budgeting like it's still 2010.In the US, cabinet officials used Signal to discuss military strikes in Yemen, adding a reporter to the chat by mistake. The conversation quickly turned from emoji-filled incompetence to existential dread. Denise Hamilton called it what it is: “a cabinet of convenience and fealty,” while Aram Fischer reminded us that when the “vibes” run the state, reality bites hard. Bombs fell, 53 people died, and somehow no one resigned.Across the pond, Chancellor Rachel Reeves delivered a Spring Budget that sounds progressive until you read it. Welfare cuts, frozen benefits, and a forecast of a quarter-million more people—including 50,000 children—falling into poverty. All while wealth remains virtually untaxed. The panel didn't hold back. “Tories in all but name,” Roifield declared, with Steve admitting he didn't vote Labour to get austerity rebranded with a red rosette.Takeaway: If this episode had a moral, it's this: Government by vibes kills. And Labour's soft technocracy might just be Tories on mute.5 Pull Quotes:“This is not a cabinet of excellence. This is a cabinet of convenience and fealty.” – Denise Hamilton“They added a journalist to the Signal thread and thought, ‘Eh, it's fine.' That's where we're at.” – Aram Fischer“Nothing really matters as long as the vibes are right.” – Aram Fischer, summarising MAGA foreign policy“Labour's playing a long game with no message. That's a strategy with a short shelf life.” – Leah Brown“You knew what the Tories stood for. I've got no idea what this lot stand for.” – Roifield Brown Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of Mid Atlantic, host Roifield Brown sits down with Sangeeta Pillai, feminist changemaker and host of Masala Podcast, to tackle a troubling facet of artificial intelligence: its impact on body image. The conversation centers around AI-generated beauty standards and their capacity to amplify already damaging ideals perpetuated by social media and advertising.Sangeeta's recent article sparked the discussion, highlighting how AI beauty pageants reflect narrow, harmful notions of beauty—thin, white, and hypersexualized. They examine the role of AI in reinforcing societal biases, particularly its lack of diversity and the troubling implications for young people growing up surrounded by such unrealistic portrayals. With studies showing that children as young as six worry about their weight, the conversation paints a stark picture of the psychological toll these developments could take. They also delve into AI's role in dating, the commercialisation of "perfect" bodies, and the urgent need for regulation in a fast-moving, ethically murky space.Roifield and Sangeeta leave listeners pondering whether humanity can reclaim authenticity in an era increasingly defined by artificial perfection. While the conversation highlights the downsides, it also underscores the importance of sparking debate now—before AI's effects on self-image spiral out of control.Notable Quotes:"Imagine if you take the worst ideas of beauty and let AI amplify them—that's where we're heading." – Sangeeta Pillai"A six-year-old child looking in the mirror thinking, 'I need to be thinner'? That's insane." – Sangeeta Pillai"What AI does is strip out what makes us human: our imperfections, the very things that make us beautiful." – Sangeeta Pillai"When we don't ask ethical questions about AI now, it's like letting the train leave the station—soon, it'll be too late." – Roifield Brown"We're not just addicted to technology; we're replacing human connection with it—and it's making us lonelier than ever." – Sangeeta PillaiFurther Reading:Sangeeta Pillai's article on AI beauty pageants and body image issues: Soul SutrasStudies on AI and body image: The Bulimia ProjectEU's AI Act and its approach to regulating emerging technologies: European Commission AI ActFor a deep dive into these issues and more, subscribe to Masala Podcast or follow Sangeeta Pillai on Instagram.

In this week's episode of Mid Atlantic, host Roifield Brown and his panel of political experts—Zee Cohen Sanchez, Logan Phillips, Corey Bernard, Aram Fisher, and Olissa Jones—dive into the chaotic landscape of U.S. and U.K. politics. On the U.S. side, the focus is on the latest struggles of Donald Trump's campaign as Kamala Harris gains momentum in the race for the presidency. The discussion centers on Harris's unexpected surge in key battleground states, her consolidation of the Democratic base, and the strategic shifts within the Trump campaign. The panel dissects the potential impact of RFK Jr.'s candidacy on the election and the challenges Trump faces in maintaining his support.Switching gears to the U.K., the episode explores the economic aftermath of 14 years of Tory rule and how Labour, under Keir Starmer, is navigating the current political climate. The conversation covers the surprising timing of Rishi Sunak's election call, the challenges facing the Labour government as they manage public expectations, and the subdued Tory leadership race. The pundits debate the impact of Starmer's perceived lack of bold vision and the struggles of the Conservative Party to capture public interest in their leadership contest.The episode also takes a lighter turn with a lively discussion about the Olympics. Roifield and the panelists express mixed feelings about the inclusion of new sports like breakdancing and skateboarding in the Olympic Games. While some appreciate the evolution of the games to include modern sports that resonate with younger audiences, others argue that sports requiring subjective judging lack the clear, objective criteria that define traditional Olympic competitions. The conversation reflects on the changing nature of the Olympics and whether the event has lost some of its magic and global appeal.Five Notable QuotesLogan Phillips: "Kamala Harris has taken the lead in the polling... the question is whether the electoral map will mirror 2020 or if we're witnessing a fundamental shift."Zee Cohen Sanchez: "Kamala Harris has become part of pop culture. That's huge for young voters, but there's still a fear—RFK could be the wild card."Corey Bernard: "Keir Starmer is lucky, but only because Rishi Sunak made the strategic blunder of calling an early election."Aram Fisher: "Tim Walz is the perfect response to MAGA politics—he's mainstream enough to appeal to the center while throwing punches when needed."Olissa Jones: "The entire British political system is lacking credible, charismatic figures at this point in time—it's like we're tinkering around the edges."

The panelists recount their experiences watching the game and the emotional rollercoaster leading to the final. Tonye's description of the bar going “volcanic” after the last-minute winner encapsulates the collective euphoria.Biden's Mounting PressureShifting gears to politics, the podcast delves into President Biden's current challenges. Amid growing concerns over his electability, especially after a poor debate performance, the panel explores the increasing calls for Biden to step down. Michael Donahue discusses the potential implications for Biden's campaign, while Z Cohen Sanchez emphasizes the party's need to consider Biden's health and public perception. The discussion paints a picture of a party at a crossroads, weighing the costs and benefits of Biden's continued candidacy.Starmer's Steady StartThe conversation transitions to the UK, where newly elected Prime Minister Keir Starmer's first week in office is under scrutiny. Jane Mote and Tonye Altrade highlight Starmer's competent and decisive start, contrasting it with the previous government's perceived incompetence. The panel debates the challenges ahead for Starmer, particularly in achieving economic growth amid tight fiscal constraints. Olissa Jones expresses skepticism about relying solely on growth metrics, while Leah Brown advocates for a holistic approach to governance.Concluding Thoughts and a Sing-AlongThe episode wraps up with a light-hearted moment as Tonye Altrade is persuaded to sing the unofficial anthem, "Three Lions," celebrating England's football hopes. The camaraderie and spirited discussions underscore the intersection of sports and politics, reflecting the national mood and the anticipation of upcoming challenges.Quotes"The bar went volcanic. We're in the final. Everyone's talking about dreaming again, about things coming home." - Tonye Altrade"Biden's ego in ending his career this way, which, in Biden's defense, I do feel for him, right? This is no way to end a career." - Z Cohen Sanchez"Starmer has got this sort of quite reserved executive suit that never takes his jacket off, unlike Blair who made a point of rolling his sleeves up when he got into office." - Jane Mote"We've moved out of performativism, and one of the greatest criticisms leveled over the Starmer opposition government was that they were boring." - Leah Brown"If you do those things well, then if the things outside of your control hit you, you might be better prepared for them." - Tonye AltradeFurther ReadingNew York Times on Biden's Campaign ChallengesGuardian Analysis of Keir Starmer's First Week Hosted on Acast.

Host Roifield Brown engages in conversation with New York Times bestselling author David Lipsky about his latest book, "The Parrot and the Igloo: Climate and the Science of Denial." Lipsky's work dives into the tangled history of climate change denial in America, tracing its origins and exploring the intersection of science, money, and the American psyche.Lipsky's narrative is compelling, drawing connections between historical technological advancements and the cultural pushback against scientific consensus. He skillfully illustrates how early climate warnings, dating back to the 1910s, were overshadowed by societal fascination with the benefits of industrialization and technological progress. The conversation shifts to contemporary times, highlighting the paradox of technological solutions like fracking reducing emissions while being environmentally controversial.Lipsky and Brown also discuss the psychological and cultural aspects of denial, emphasizing how deeply rooted skepticism and anti-elitism in American society have fueled resistance to scientific evidence. The discussion underscores the moral complexities and the often misplaced burden of responsibility on individuals rather than systemic change. The episode is a thought-provoking examination of how history, culture, and politics shape our understanding and response to climate change.Quotes:"A sufficiently advanced technology will always seem like magic." - David Lipsky"People start pollution. People can stop it." - Famous Ad Slogan"The phrase 'climate change' was designed to make people less anxious about it." - David Lipsky"The most honest answer to why you drive or fly is: we didn't make that deal. We accepted the world as it was presented." - David Lipsky"We need to change our laws, not our light bulbs." - Al GoreFor more thought-provoking discussions and to share your thoughts, email Roifield at roifield@gmail.com and leave a review on Apple Podcasts to support the show.

In this episode of Mid Atlantic, host Roifield Brown takes us into the complex political crisis of Bosnia and Herzegovina, a country on the brink of division with significant implications for the stability of the Western Balkans. Roifield is joined by Valerie Perry, an independent consultant with the Democratization Policy Council, and Florian Bieber, a professor at the University of Graz, to dissect the factors driving Bosnia's current predicament and the international ramifications of a potential split.Valerie Perry points out that the threats of secession from Milorad Dodik, leader of the Bosnian Serb-controlled territory, are part of a long-standing political strategy. She explains that Dodik's rhetoric serves to distract from pressing domestic issues like brain drain, low wages, and lack of development. Florian Bieber provides a historical context, highlighting the inadequacies of the Dayton Accords, which, while successful in ending the Bosnian war, established a governance system that has proven to be dysfunctional in the long term.Both experts delve into the international dynamics at play. Valerie elaborates on the role of Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić and his increasing nationalist rhetoric, which bolsters Dodik's secessionist threats. Florian broadens the discussion by examining the geopolitical influences of regional actors like Hungary's Viktor Orbán, whose illiberal policies and alliances complicate the EU's stance on Bosnia.As the conversation shifts to potential future scenarios, the guests offer a sobering outlook. Florian envisions a continued status quo, with Bosnia remaining in a state of slow decline unless there is significant external intervention. Valerie warns of the broader implications of corruption and economic stagnation, suggesting that without meaningful reforms and international support, Bosnia's prospects for EU integration remain bleak.Quotes"Dodik's business model is to stoke division, distracting from issues like brain drain and low wages." - Valerie Perry"The Dayton Accords were meant to end the war, not to be a long-term governance solution." - Florian Bieber"Serbia's nationalist rhetoric under Vučić mirrors Russia's strategy of regional influence." - Florian Bieber"Economic development is hampered by instability and corruption, deterring investment." - Valerie Perry"Bosnia could become a cordon sanitaire for migrants, exacerbating its political and social challenges." - Valerie PerryFurther ReadingThe Dayton Accords and their implicationsThe rise of nationalism in SerbiaEconomic disparities in the Western BalkansCorruption and state capture in Southeast Europe Hosted on Acast.

This weekend, Match of the Day was broadcast without presenters, pundits, or commentators after Gary Lineker was suspended from the BBC for breaching impartiality guidelines with his criticism of the government's asylum policies. In solidarity with Lineker, Ian Wright, Alan Shearer, and other pundits have refused to present the show, leading the BBC to only feature match footage. Initially, the BBC had put pressure on Lineker to agree to their terms on his future use of social media, but on Monday, the Corporation did a u-turn in the face of public pressure after Lineker's suspension had been widely criticized. This has now led to calls for BBC chair Richard Sharp to resign for his mishandling of the affair.Roifield is joined by a group of British pundits to discuss this momentous weekend in British politics, in which football, immigration policy, and free speech all collided.

Roifield is originally from the UK but spends much of his time traveling, most notably in the west coast of the US. He originally did this because of his fascination with American history and its politics and the contrast with his English and Jamaican heritage. Roifield still remembers the first time he saw a globe when he was a young child and being completely mesmerized with all of the countries, the weird shapes of their borders, and imagining what it might be like to travel to all of them. That is where his value of "family and close bonds" comes in, because he believes the strong foundation he got from his parents allowed him to be fearless and intrepid in his desire to see the world. It was also interesting to hear that Roifield is an only child and that also played into his fascination with observing and understanding the world around him. Sometimes he would even create his own magical worlds, trying to imagine what the vast world around him might be like. It was really cool to see someone who had all of these dreams as a child actually get to live them out as an adult. It also made for some really interesting discussion about the role of luck in all of it. Roifield was very clear about how lucky he was so to be born into the family he had, at the time and place he lived, and with the opportunities he was presented. This naturally turned into a discussion about free will, the randomness of the universe, and the importance of functionality vs. truth. Roifield doesn't want to question everything, because he'd rather let the magical aspects of life stay magical (rather than trying to pick it all apart). But at the same time he does have that natural pull to observe and understand, which made his perspective really interesting. He blends an appreciation for the randomness and fortune in his life, with a keen interest in making sense of the world around him, while at the same time knowing when to stop searching and just enjoying it all. I have to say, if possible to strike that balance, that sounds like a pretty good recipe to live by.

We must end this uncivil war!TranscriptionSpeaker 0 (41s): Hi, Mid Atlantic pundits and listeners. I'm Maddie from Moto and a great fan of Roifield podcast, especially Atlantic after the US insurrection podcast, I want it to ring in to support Laura Babcock and Rick Wright by asking us to what's this space very carefully X to my mind, to the U S North America. And actually the whole world had a narrow escape. And you, because Trump is superbly self disillusioned, meaning that before November, he really believed he would win in the election and therefore did not get his trips organized in time. For real coop, had he had another term, or if Paris had thought he got in a term in 2020 for you would of been ready to get US militia to take the government hostage and to declare him precedent for life. It is good, and he's such a bad business executive and used to organize a thank goodness for that. He did a great job and thanks for the podcast. It's always very interesting to listen to. Well, I couldn't agree more with our colour. I think we have to keep watching this space. There are rumours that Trump wants to start a Patriot party and maybe have his children run for the Senate. And if it's not his family, there are certainly others who are trying to pick up his audience and trying to keep his mega movement going. And so we got a break this time we got to break because they thought they had it when they realized they didn't have it. They tried their COO and they weren't successful. But that by no means suggests that the millions of people that bought into the big lie that Trump was so good at putting out there. Aren't still wanting to believe that lie, and aren't willing to follow somebody else in his footsteps. So I appreciate the call and I agree wholeheartedly. Speaker 1 (2m 22s): Thank you for that.
