This episode talks about the concept of "thinking big enough" inspired by some song lyrics, highlighting the importance of songs as they carry messages that stick. Kim, introduces the term "visioneering", which substitutes setting specific goals with envisioning a future that inspires and propels us forward, as she believes goals can be inherently limiting. She explains that visioneering differs from goal setting as it encourages long-term and expansive thinking that is constantly changing, instead of being strictly focused on achieving specific, short-term, and measurable results. She makes the point that we should keep dreaming and visioneering, and always refer back to what we genuinely want, rather than focusing on societal expectations.

Explaining the importance of leading your own thoughts and inspiring others through personal beliefs and values, with help from a higher power or support system when needed.

We've been trying to get Mahmood Saikh on the show almost since the podcast started. And finally, he has relented, but with the caveat that he be allowed to appear not as a traditional guest —oh, no, no!— he wanted to be treated as “just one of the guys”. A panel position, if you will. Fine. We accept you. One of us. The indie-rock booking-agent maestro DID send us a bio, however — so here it is: “Mahmood Shaikh is an agent at Concerted Efforts. He represents a wide range of artists including Algiers, Boris, Frankie Rose, Jawbox, Karate, Mr Twin Sister, Nothing, SURVIVE, Ted Leo, We Were Promised Jetpacks, and many others in North America and other territories. Previously, he was an agent at Flowerbooking, Inc. where for over a decade he sat next to the guy that booked Local H. Last name is pronounced “Shake”.” Anyway, on this episode we talk about Mahmood's love of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Scott's Global Entry worthiness, 1982, Michael, Commie Liberal Pinko Tuesday, upside down pizza, U2 cover bands, Gabe's fever for Pac-Man, and finally — COVERBOY: Chicago's newest super-group. This is Ben's kind of episode. Gooble gobble.

As another season of gridiron greatness starts, It Happened One Year is taking it all the way back to the beginning of the Super Bowl era! Sarah & Joe breakdown the circumstances behind the initial AFL-NFL Championship Game in January of 1967, the surprising popularity of the junior league orchestrating the merger, and the wild differences in game play from fifty-five years ago to today. Along the way, there's a new IHOY Hall of Famer inducted, a brief segway to mention the band We Were Promised Jetpacks, predictions for the upcoming NFL season, more Chicago Bears talk than is probably warranted, the hosts' undying hatred for Aaron Rodgers, and, obviously, the Super Bowl Shuffle. It Happened One Year is shufflin' on down, doing it for you!

These 5 songs were meticulously handpicked and I can't wait to share them (and many more) with you. Each track gets a small intro/synopsis and then you get to indulge in the ENTIRE SONG here on the pod. I'm proud of this series. Enjoy. Featuring music from: The Hives, We Were Promised Jetpacks, Local Natives, Under The Influence of Giants and Hum. LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, SHARE...ANYWHERE YOU GET PODCASTS!

As broadcast July 6, 2021 with plenty of extra f bombs for you filthy-mouthed podcasting pukes. We mark this day in 1981 at the Werchter Fest in Belgium when The Cure, getting pressured by Robert Palmer's people to get off the stage, proceeded to give him a massive middle finger by playing a nine minute version of "A Forest." They also told rock n roll itself to piss off for good measure. We then most inappropriately proceed to our same bat time, same bat channel Tuesday radio runoff with Prince Paolo for our Under The Radar indie sesh. Lots of great new tunes for the rest of the full two hours from Magdalena Bay, Vanishing Twin, Aunty Social, and Lola Wild, amongst many other very worthy artists & tunes. #feelthegravityTracklisting:Part I (00:00)The Cure – A ForestMagdalena Bay – ChaeriPinkPantheress – PassionLittle Monarch – Strike FLDPLN - Escalatorcoldroses – From Here Part II (32:30)Junior Mesa - Paranoia DreamsLUHA & LeoBlomov - See YouSipper - I Won!Aunty Social - Aunty DepressantsMy Name is Leonidas - please don't runQuinze Quinze - Vega Part III (59:33)Bye Beneco - Red Dress (feat Lucy Kruger)Vanishing Twin - Big Moonlight (Ookii Gekkou)Laurel Canyon - Enemy LinesSucreblooms - Self-ConstrainedBilly Fox - Its A MessMELO-T - DO RE MI ft Idris Lawal & NEFE Part IV (91:54)We Were Promised Jet Packs - Fat ChanceGiungla - Little ProblemMolly Burch - Took A MinuteLola WIld - Second Hand LoveJan Echo - FleaVAN HOUTEN - IDK

As broadcast April 27, 2021. We remember the iconic Casey Kasem, who'd have turned 89 on this date. Born in 1932 in Detroit, Kasem would be the iconic voice of American Top 40 for decades, and also the voice behind some of America's most beloved cartoon characters. We couldn't find a pic of Kasem donning the metal mask, so Scooby'll have to Doo. Prince Paolo joins us for what was a very strong two hours of top tunes thereafter, with new cuts out this week from Monophonics, Little Simz, Brainstory, and Ann Streichman amongst other worthy & on-the-rise names.#feelthegravityTracklisting:Part I (00:00)MF DOOM – Hey!Little Simz – Introvert Monophonics – Get The GoldKate Bollinger – a word becomes a soundKye Kepler – SinnerPart II (30:03)Reflux - Nevermind (feat Julie August)Kowloon – HurtLow Island - Spaces Closing InSedona - Missing In ParadiseAnn Streichman - We FallKeuning - Bad InstinctsPart III (57:15)Plastic Skin - No PlansSchool of X – AwayBrainstory – SeasonsColyer - Pet NamesCAPYAC - Sanctuary ft Slim Jeff & Annabelle MaginnisShae District - Lose Myself Part IV (87:17)English Teacher – R & BFRESH – My Redemption ArcWe Were Promised Jetpacks - If It HappensAmos the Kid - Island Of TroublesPaola Bennet - My Mother SaysShiloh Mae - All My Metaphors

This week, Meia speaks with her co-host, Antônio Sampaio, Research Fellow for Conflict, Security and Development, on how Brazil has been impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro has made headlines due to his unorthodox response to the COVID-19 virus, sacking his health minister, Luiz Mandetta, and largely disregarding or undermining the medical community's advice on how best to limit the spread of the COVID-19 virus in Brazil. As Antônio explains, this has left the onus on state governments to develop their own responses to the pandemic and put extreme pressure on Brazil's public health system.Amid this pandemic, Brazil is also experiencing an acute political crisis following the resignation of Bolsonaro's popular Minister of Justice and Public Security, Sérgio Moro. Antônio assesses how this scandal could impact the Bolsonaro government and Brazilian politics in the future.Finally, in the absence of strong federal leadership, Antonio explores how civil societies, and even some criminal organisations, are taking on new responsibilities to combat COVID-19.We hope you enjoy listening and don't forget to follow, rate and subscribe to Sounds Strategic on wherever you listen to podcasts.Date of recording: 5 May 2020Sounds Strategic is recorded and produced at the IISS in London.Theme music: ‘Safety in Numbers' by We Were Promised Jetpacks.

In this week's episode of Sounds Strategic, Antônio Sampaio speaks with Senior Fellow Virginia Comolli and Research Associate Eleanor Beevor from the Conflict, Security and Development Programme at the IISS. They discuss the challenges fragile states face in managing the COVID-19 pandemic, why international organisations are struggling to deliver humanitarian aid and how non-state armed groups have been responding to this global crisis.International organisations, such as the UN and the African Union, have struggled to maintain their commitments in conflict-afflicted countries during the pandemic. Virginia details why this has been the case and how the delivery of humanitarian assistance has been impacted. She also looks at the second-order effects this crisis is having on food security.Non-state armed groups such as Al-Shabaab in Somalia are also complicating responses to the COVID-19 virus. As Eleanor explains, many armed groups are restricting humanitarian access to areas they control, as well as generating counter-narratives on how to best fight the spread of the virus. These factors will likely only worsen the virus among some of the most vulnerable populations.We hope you enjoy listening and don't forget to follow, rate and subscribe to Sounds Strategic on wherever you listen to podcasts.Date of recording: 28 April 2020Sounds Strategic is recorded and produced at the IISS in London.Theme music: ‘Safety in Numbers' by We Were Promised Jetpacks.

In this week's episode of Sounds Strategic, Meia Nouwens speaks with Executive Director of IISS–Asia, Dr Tim Huxley, on how countries in Southeast Asia have been handling the COVID-19 pandemic and the wider geopolitical impact the crisis may have on the region.Although a hugely diverse region in political, economic and cultural terms, Tim explains how and why Southeast Asia has, for the most part, managed the COVID-19 crisis more successfully than many Western countries. Crucially, Tim warns that as the economic cost of the COVID-19 pandemic becomes more pronounced, traditional Western security commitments in Southeast Asia, and the Asia-Pacific region more broadly, could weaken further. This possible absence of Western support could provide a committed China an opportunity to change the balance of power in the region in its favour.Tim and Meia also discuss the political risks present in how Indonesia and the Philippines have handled the crisis and why this pandemic could mark a historic shift in geopolitical authority away from the West and towards the East.We hope you enjoy listening and don't forget to follow, rate and subscribe to Sounds Strategic on wherever you listen to podcasts.Date of recording: 22 April 2020Sounds Strategic is recorded and produced at the IISS in London.Theme music: ‘Safety in Numbers' by We Were Promised Jetpacks.

In this week's episode, Antonio and Meia are joined by David Gordon, IISS Senior Adviser for Geo-Economics and Strategy, to discuss how the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is affecting the global economy, why this crisis is so unique and the prospects for an eventual recovery.The COVID-19 pandemic has caused an unprecedented and, crucially, near-universal closing of the world's economy. As David explains, the synchronicity of this shutdown and the simmering rivalry between the US and China are key factors that will likely worsen the economic impact of the crisis and complicate the recovery. David predicts that we will see major changes to global supply-chain dynamics as a result of this crisis, as well as challenges ahead for the international institutions tasked with restoring the global economy in the post-crisis period.During the episode, Antonio, Meia and David also explore how COVID-19 has affected emerging markets, countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative and domestic politics in China.We hope you enjoy listening and don't forget to follow, rate and subscribe to Sounds Strategic on wherever you listen to podcasts.Date of recording: 17 April 2020Sounds Strategic is recorded and produced at the IISS in London.Theme music: ‘Safety in Numbers' by We Were Promised Jetpacks.

This week, Meia and Antonio are joined by Nigel Gould-Davies, the new IISS Senior Fellow for Russia and Eurasia and Editor of Strategic Survey, for a discussion on how Russia has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.Despite a slow initial response, the Russian government has started enacting stricter controls in an effort to control the outbreak of COVID-19 in the country. However, Putin has remained notably absent in the public management of the crisis and Nigel explores why Putin is instead delegating this key task to trusted allies.While the reliability of official Russian statistics on the extent of the COVID-19 outbreak may be in doubt, Nigel notes the real concerns that this crisis, coupled with a serious drop in the price of oil and gas, could have an even more detrimental impact on Russia's economy than the 2008 financial crash.Finally, Meia, Antonio and Nigel discuss the methods and motivations behind persistent Russian efforts to use the pandemic to sow further divisions among Western states. Nigel also explores how the COVID-19 crisis has derailed Putin's domestic agenda, harming his popularity and delaying the planned constitutional amendments that would allow him to remain in power until 2036.We hope you enjoy listening and don't forget to follow, rate and subscribe to Sounds Strategic on wherever you listen to podcasts.Date of recording: 7 April 2020Sounds Strategic is recorded and produced at the IISS in London.Theme music: ‘Safety in Numbers' by We Were Promised Jetpacks.

In this episode, Mahsa Rouhi and Emile Hokayem join Meia Nouwens for a discussion on how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected countries in the Middle East.Iran has been one of the most severely affected countries in the world, with over 3,000 deaths attributed to COVID-19 (as of 2 April 2020). Mahsa explains how the Iranian public has responded to this crisis and why the combination of US sanctions and regime negligence has worsened the outbreak in the country.Conflict-afflicted countries, such as Syria and Yemen, also stand to be gravely affected by this pandemic for a series of reasons, including the lack of medical facilities after years of conflict. Emile explores how this pandemic presents a ‘cascade of problems' for these countries and will likely exacerbate existing insecurities, especially among vulnerable IDP and refugee populations.Both Mahsa and Emile speak on the mixed role non-state groups have had in combating the virus and why a lack of trust in state institutions has led to weakened public adherence to restrictions aimed at reducing the spread of COVID-19. They finish the episode by noting some positive diplomatic signs occurring during this crisis that could form the basis for renewed regional engagement after the pandemic has passed.We hope you enjoy listening and don't forget to follow, rate and subscribe to Sounds Strategic on wherever you listen to podcasts.Date of recording: 31 March 2020Sounds Strategic is recorded and produced at the IISS in London.Theme music: ‘Safety in Numbers' by We Were Promised Jetpacks.

Bill Emmott, Chairman of the IISS Trustees, joins Dr Kori Schake for this episode of Sounds Strategic.From President Trump's questioning of traditional US allies and commitments, to growing Russian and Chinese influence in international and regional affairs, 2019 has seen a further erosion of the liberal world order established after the Second World War. In this end-of-year special, Bill Emmott and Kori Schake discuss the challenges the liberal rules-based order has faced over the course of 2019, both from within and without. Bill argues that middle powers such as Japan, France and South Korea may have to adapt to an emerging ‘G2' world where US–China competition determines relations between states. Kori and Bill also discuss the differences between the regimes of Vladimir Putin's Russia and Xi Jinping's China, South Korean and Japanese politics, as well as the need for reinvigorated German leadership in the EU.Date of recording: 9 December 2019Sounds Strategic is recorded and produced at the IISS in London.Theme music: ‘Safety in Numbers' by We Were Promised Jetpacks.

In this special episode, Kori Schake, Deputy Director-General of the IISS, leads a panel of experts to reflect on the major themes of the debate at the IISS Manama Dialogue 2019.Opening the discussion is John Raine, Senior Adviser for Geopolitical Due Diligence, who addresses the changes to the political geography of the Middle East already underway and what they mean for the myriad of internationalised challenges the region is currently facing.Hasan Alhasan, IISS Associate Fellow, notes the deepening geo-economic relationship between the Gulf and Asia, and especially China and India. One challenge Hasan foresees is how Gulf states will effectively convert these burgeoning economic relationships into greater diplomatic and security support from Asian countries. Senior Fellow for Middle East Security, Emile Hokayem, stresses the need to avoid complacency at a time of intense instability in the region. For Emile, battlefield dynamics continue to determine outcomes far more than political processes. Until the various geopolitical competitions being played out across the Middle East are resolved, Emile predicts instability will likely continue. Finally, Bastian Giegerich, IISS Director of Defence and Military Analysis, voices his concerns over NATO as it struggles with a series of internal challenges that have limited its ability to reassure its partners in the Middle East and to present a unified front against pressing regional concerns.Date of recording: 24 November 2019This episode was recorded at the IISS Manama Dialogue in Bahrain.Theme music: ‘Safety in Numbers' by We Were Promised Jetpacks.

In this special episode recorded at the IISS Manama Dialogue 2019, Kori Schake is joined by Tamara Cofman Wittes, Senior Fellow at the Center for Middle East Policy at the Brookings Institution, and Maggie Feldman-Piltch, Founder and Managing Director of #NatSecGirlSquad, for a fascinating and wide-ranging conversation.Recent popular protests in Lebanon and Iraq have shaken the Middle East. Such political turmoil suggests a deep level of dissatisfaction with the status quo in these, and many other, countries in the region. In the cases of Iraq and Syria, government mismanagement and corruption have been perpetuated by external interference by either Iran or Russia, or both. For Maggie, Tamara and Kori, such interference has been, in part, enabled by a general retreat from the region by the US that has allowed emerging powers such as Russia, Iran and even China, to flex their soft power credentials. As Maggie and Tamara argue, the rise of these revisionist powers has profound implications not only for regional governments seeking reliable partners, but it also impacts the information that everyday citizens receive and the opinions they form.Both Maggie and Tamara also talk about the vital importance of diversity and inclusivity in the creation of robust and sustainable national security and defence policy. Whether by modernising recruitment practices or empowering aspiring policymakers, all three women stress the need for greater female inclusion and ‘competent diversity' in the field of national security. This episode also includes a discussion on the re-emergence of nationalism in response to Russian and Iranian intervention in the region and the key changes required in US Middle East policy to refocus strategic thinking and reassure its allies.

In this special episode of Sounds Strategic, John Raine, Senior Adviser for Geopolitical Due Diligence, and Kori Schake have an in-depth discussion about the new IISS Strategic Dossier, Iran's Networks of Influence in the Middle East, and what its findings mean for understanding security in the Middle East today.As the report shows, Iran has meticulously spread its influence across the Middle East since the establishment of the Islamic Republic in 1979. It has done this through a huge variety of relationships with state and non-state groups. It has taken advantage of instability in Iraq following the US invasion in 2003 and has become a vital guarantor for the Assad regime in Syria. In Lebanon and Yemen, it has partnered with non-state groups to further its own strategic objectives. Looking at these networks collectively, as the IISS Strategic Dossier does, it is clear that Iran has curated a comprehensive strategic ‘sovereign capability' that has been carefully resourced, financed and supported by the Iranian government and one that Iran's rivals have been unable to counter. During the episode, John Raine and Kori delve further into what this strategic capability means for regional security, the balance of ‘effective force', the possible risks and limitations of such a capability and what Iran's rivals can do to counter it. John and Kori also discuss the recent protests in Lebanon and Iraq, and how they may in fact represent a powerful reaction to Iran's overly effective spread of influence into the Arab world.Recommended reading:‘Tehran's strategic intent', Iran's Networks of Influence in the Middle East, (London: IISS, 2019) Date of recording: 11 November 2019Sounds Strategic is recorded and produced at the IISS in London.Theme music: ‘Safety in Numbers' by We Were Promised Jetpacks.

Dr Greg Austin, Senior Fellow for Cyber, Space and Future Conflict, joins Dr Kori Schake for this episode of Sounds Strategic.As the race to roll out 5G intensifies between China and the United States, Greg and Kori discuss China's use of cyber espionage and private companies in pursuit of its geopolitical interests and the effect it has on China's reputation. Greg explains the Cyber, Space and Future Conflict's new methodology to assess states' capabilities to use cyber as an offensive weapon, exploring the initial findings from a case study on China. Greg discusses how the “cyber industrial complex” can be understood as a web of political, economic, industrial and scientific relationships and assets, noting that the ICT sector provides a majority of the US' GDP. He debunks the common conception that China is a leader in cybersecurity, noting that China's cyber defences are weaker than those of the US and its allies. He highlights that China is actually reliant on US companies to provide cyber protection. Greg and Kori explore how Western media and discussion on China's power only serves to reinforce China's propaganda and messaging.Date of recording: 25 October 2019Sounds Strategic is recorded and produced at the IISS in London.Theme music: ‘Safety in Numbers' by We Were Promised Jetpacks.

Nigel Inkster, IISS Senior Adviser, joins Dr Kori Schake for this episode of Sounds Strategic.With the rivalry between the US and China set to become the defining feature of international politics in the 21st century, Nigel Inkster gives context to the geopolitical competition that lies at its heart. Nigel emphasises the important role technology will play in allowing great powers to project their power internationally in the future. He argues that this brings new significance to the Huawei affair and wider US–China trade disputes. Fundamentally, China views the post-World War international order as no longer fit for purpose. It is therefore looking to foster an alternative world order that is more in line with its own political objectives and priorities. Nigel and Kori discuss what the possible features of this Sino-centric world order would be and the profound importance technological innovation around 5G will play in determining who will lead the world in the next century.Recommended Reading: Richard McGregor, The Party: The Secret World of China's Communist Rulers, (London: Penguin Books, 2012)Nick Bostrom, Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies, (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2017)Max Tegmark, Life 3.0: Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence, (London: Penguin Books, 2018)Date of recording: 8 October 2019Sounds Strategic is recorded and produced at the IISS in London.Theme music: ‘Safety in Numbers' by We Were Promised Jetpacks.

Dr Benjamin Rhode, Research Fellow for Transatlantic Affairs and Editor of IISS Strategic Comments, joins Dr Kori Schake for this episode of Sounds Strategic.Transatlantic relations have long been considered a relatively stable area of international diplomacy. However, the realities of the Trump administration in the US and Brexit in the UK have brought new volatility to transatlantic affairs. Dr Schake and Dr Rhode discuss the effects of this new instability in the relationships that have traditionally formed the foundation of the liberal world order. They also explore the emerging crisis in the US administration over President Trump's call with President Zelensky of Ukraine and the rationality behind French President Emmanuel Macron's recent overtures to Russia. Dr Rhode also highlights the importance of political culture as a means of understanding and predicting public reactions to domestic and foreign policy. Dr Schake and Dr Rhode agree that historical context often informs how national policy is formed and implemented, but also that popular perceptions around political issues, and even other nations, can change rapidly.Reading recommendations:George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four, (London: Secker and Warburg, 1949)Data Visualisation:Charles Joseph Minard, “Figurative chart of the successive losses in men by the French army in the Russian campaign 1812-1813.”, Tableaux graphiques et cartes figuratives (Paris, 1869), p.28Date of recording: 30 September 2019Sounds Strategic is recorded and produced at the IISS in London.Theme music: ‘Safety in Numbers' by We Were Promised Jetpacks.

Dana Allin, IISS Senior Fellow for US Foreign Policy and Transatlantic Affairs and Editor of Survival, talks with Dr Kori Schake in this episode of Sounds Strategic.With the resignation of the British Ambassador to the US Sir Kim Darroch weighing heavily on the conversation, Dana and Kori discuss the impact of the episode on the UK's ‘special relationship' with the US, and how this may change in the future with a post-Brexit ‘Global Britain', potentially separate from the EU.Dana challenges the assumed direct link between a state's willingness to use force and its international credibility. As Kori and he explore, this issue came into stark focus with the aborted US strikes against Iran in retaliation for the downing of an unmanned surveillance drone in June 2019.As both an academic and editor of the IISS journal, Survival, Dana also speaks on his other area of expertise, the Israel–US relationship. As a topic covered in his latest book, Our Separate Ways: The Struggle for the Future of the US–Israel Alliance, Dana explains how the agreement around the liberal values that formed a key element of this historic alliance may come under considerable stress in the future.This episode also features a discussion on the enduring importance and impact of John Hersey's 1946 classic, Hiroshima.Favourite Data Visualisation:‘Top 15 defence budgets 2018', in IISS Military Balance 2019, (London: Taylor & Francis, 2019), p. 21‘Top 15 defence budgets 2014', in IISS Military Balance 2014, (London: Taylor & Francis, 2015), p. 21Reading Recommendations:John Hersey, Hiroshima (New York: Alfred A.

John Raine, IISS Senior Adviser for Geopolitical Due Diligence, speaks with Dr Kori Schake in this episode of Sounds Strategic.The dynamics underpinning the international order are in a time of flux. John and Kori discuss the shifting state of geopolitics, where economic interdependence both enables and restrains states and empowers companies to become globally influential.With a long and successful career in the UK Foreign Service, John is uniquely placed to understand and explain the historic shifts in global economic, political and military power that have been occurring over recent years. For John, economic power has taken on a new primacy in the modern age, with deeply interdependent countries competing at unprecedented levels within the economic system. The number and type of actors within this system have also multiplied, with John advocating a need for companies to develop their own foreign policies as their influence begins to surpass that of governments. The mass collection of data has played a crucial role in empowering corporations, and John and Kori discuss how this may affect our understanding of privacy and civil liberties. This is a truly engaging discussion on the future of geopolitics at a time of historic change.Date of recording: 4 July 2019Sounds Strategic is recorded and produced at the IISS in London.Theme music: ‘Safety in Numbers' by We Were Promised Jetpacks.

Névine Schepers, IISS Research Associate for Non-Proliferation and Nuclear Policy, joins Dr Kori Schake for this episode of Sounds Strategic. Névine and Kori discuss recent developments relating to the civil nuclear export market, highlighting how innovations in legal structures and instruments to safeguard against nuclear proliferation have advanced the cause of non-proliferation. Their lively discussion ranges from analysis of Saudi Arabia's civil nuclear energy programme, Egypt's nuclear deal with Russia, concerns about US withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) or Iran nuclear deal, and nuclear energy trends in Russia. With a research focus on Iran and the geopolitics of nuclear energy, Névine examines concerns about Iran, the JCPOA and proliferation in the region. She asserts that the Trump administration's current position on the Iran nuclear agreement is counter-productive. Névine and Kori also discuss whether Russia's civil nuclear exports have clear geopolitical implications, and whether Russian exports might lead to weaker nuclear governance compliance.

Henry Boyd, IISS Research Fellow for Defence and Military Analysis, joins Dr Kori Schake for this episode of Sounds Strategic. In this episode, Kori and Henry explore the military dimensions of the new great power competition emerging between a declining United States, a resurgent Russia and a rising China and their implications for international security and defence. They also discuss the impact Russian intervention in Syria has had on contemporary concepts of the legitimate use of force and the ethics of modern warfare. Henry goes on to explain why assessing the military capabilities of countries such as the United States and China requires more than a simple measure of their military hardware. Instead, additional factors must be considered, such as organisation, doctrine and training. Henry also talks about how he first became interested in the subject of defence and security, the virtues of wargaming, and the role human rationale and psychology plays in how we understand modern international affairs, war and policy.

Emile Hokayem, IISS Senior Fellow for Middle East Security, joins Dr Kori Schake for this episode of Sounds Strategic.Emile and Kori give a masterclass in understanding the Middle East and political violence. Emile explains the misconceptions surrounding the state of Iraq before the 2003 invasion, what non-proliferation experts miss about Bashar al-Assad's use of chemical weapons, and the problematic notion that Iran and Saudi Arabia can and should share the Middle East, thus making it possible for the US to adopt an ‘offshore balancing' posture, and much more.Emile responds to the US recognition of Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights, and reflects on his recent analysis of the continuation of the Arab Spring, stating that ‘the ebb and flow of street protests will be the new normal.'Emile is perfectly placed to explore the question of conflict in the Middle East, having grown up in Lebanon during some of the most intense years of the civil war, studied in the US during the invasion of Iraq, and used his expertise to conduct field research across the region.

China seems to have ‘activated the antibodies against [its] continued success', suggests Kori, referring to the renationalisation of high-tech industries.Meia debunks the myth that China is inflexible because it is an authoritarian government and that, therefore, domestic public opinion doesn't matter.She asserts that the Chinese public mood is a far greater threat to the Chinese Communist Party than the United States could ever be.

Eleanor's expertise in the coercive methods of indoctrination and radicalisation in Uganda by the Lord's Resistance Army under Joseph Kony allows for a fascinating discussion into similar methods used by ISIS.An anthropologist by training, she expounds the virtues of both qualitative and quantitative data analysis, which are central to her work on the IISS Armed Conflict Survey and the Armed Conflict Database.Favourite data visualisation:‘Ecocide in Indonesia' by Forensic Architecture Reading recommendations:Eleanor Beevor, ‘Coercive Radicalization: Charismatic Authority and the Internal Strategies of ISIS and the Lord's Resistance Army', Studies in Conflict & Terrorism, vol. 40, no. 6, pp. 496–521.Mike Martin, An Intimate War: An Oral History of the Helmand Conflict (London: Hurst, 2014).

Dr Bastian Giegerich, IISS Director of Defence and Military Analysis, joins Dr Kori Schake for the first episode of Sounds Strategic.This new series aims to highlight the breadth and depth of analytical and intellectual talent at the IISS.In each episode, Kori will interview one of the Institute's researchers about their area of expertise, and how they first got involved in the study of international security and defence. They share reading recommendations and discuss impactful data visualisations. Kori also offers each researcher the opportunity to debunk an analytical or policy myth within their field.In this episode, Kori and Bastian examine the significance of NATO's Trident Juncture exercise, Russia's reaction and the question of burden-sharing between the United States and Europe in the transatlantic Alliance.Bastian debunks the myth that Europe can never gain strategic autonomy and suggests that overcoming the ‘progressive anaemia' in European military capabilities and mentality is imperative to the future of the Alliance.Favourite data visualisation:Armed unmanned aerial vehicles: production and procurement, IISS Reading recommendations:Paul Gordon Lauren, Gordon A.

Will and David discuss new releases by Black Belt Eagle Scout, Film School, and We Were Promised Jetpacks, plus the death of the week and a live report.
In today's episode Nicky P & Lizzie make a contentious decision on Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On during analysis time. Nick was ready to hand out the coveted Eric July award but Lizzie brought him back to reality...how far did it slip? This week in I Heard This Happened Nicky heads to thinky-dreamy land and Lizzie gets lost in the muck of some instrumental 60s throwback jazz. Nicky brings us the cerebral The More I Sleep The Less I Dream by We Were Promised Jetpacks. An equally atmospheric and heavy offering these gents from the UK manage an ebb and flow hard to pull off and still sound cohesive let alone structured. Lizzie brings us Stop Thief! By Andre M which is something akin to pulling the fun swinging music from the terrible Austin Powers movies. This week we break with the norm of an interview to talk about movies! In particular Music Movies. We take a look at five very different films: Rockstar, Ray, The Commitments, Idlewild & American Graffiti For music/show notes visit: http://www.soundslikelibertypodcast.com Check Out This Week’s Spotify Playlist: Episode 15 Soundtrack To listen to full interviews, get merch, music and maybe even a custom song join The Freedom Choir at http://www.patreon.com/sllpodcast

Yes, another year, another total shambles of a podcast. Oddly enough, the one time this has been even vaguely together was the one year the BBC happened to show up to film it. How we managed to get it together for that one occasion I have no idea. Maybe the TV cameras scared us into behaving.Anyhow, this year's podcast is probably the biggest shambles since the very first SXSW podcast. We are joined, at various times, by Mrs. Toad, Young Ian, Pandy from Gerry Loves Records, Ben Soep, the managers of Tango in the Attic and We Were Promised Jetpacks, as well the BBC's ultra-credible and in-no-way-inebriated Ally McCrae who definitely wasn't still a total shambles from St. Mirren's League Cup win earlier in the day. And that's before the usual subjects as myself, Vic Galloway, Peej and Stuart from Creative Scotland.We were a few Margaritas down already, and it only got worse during the podcast, honestly. I am not sure this tells you much about SXSW, but it sure gives you a pretty clear idea of what it does to people. 01. Paws - Sore Tummy (00.22)02. Doe Paoro - Hallelujah (07.49)03.

Leidenschaftlicher und impulsiver Indie-Rock – dafür steht die Band „We Were Promised Jetpacks“. Anfangs noch als Schülerband unterwegs, rocken die Schotten nun regelmäßig die großen Bühnen. Dort bringen sie mit ihren Hits wie „Quiet Little Voices“ die Meute zum kochen. Auf ihrer Deutschland-Tour haben sie einen Zwischenstopp im detektor.fm-Studio eingelegt. >> Artikel zum Nachlesen: https://detektor.fm/musik/detektor-fm-session-mit-we-were-promised-jetpacks
Will and Barrett discuss new releases by the Shins and Simian Ghost, plus live reports on Elton John and We Were Promised Jetpacks, record stores, and some philosophy.
After last year's relatively sensible podcast (I think the BBC cameras scared us into some degree of sensibleness), this years is far, far less sensible. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing, but it's probably a little more honest. This time around, as well as the more usual suspects of Messrs. Galloway, Reid, Thomas and myself, we are joined by The Two Jamies: Webster who manages Three Blind Wolves and Gilmour who manages We Were Promised Jetpacks. This is helpful because instead of drunken fuckwits gabbling at one another, we actually have some proper insight from people who have brought bands out to SXSW and have something useful to add. And for the rest of it me, Vic, Peej and Stuart just take the piss out of one another. So umm... well, you have to take the rough with the smooth I suppose. 01. Grave Babies - Nightmare (00.21) 02.

Another stunt podcast for you, this was recorded on Sunday night after and afternoon of beer and Margaritas on South Congress in Austin - probably the most enjoyable day of the whole festival for me actually, and one which involved no more music than walking past the queue for an Alejandro Escovedo show. What it did involve, however, was breakfast tacos, a splendid Mexican tat shop, a Western supply shop full of incredibly cool cowboy boots and shirts and so on, and then an afternoon sitting in the sun and shooting the breeze with Peej, Vic, Alex from Fatcat and Ben from Instinctive Raccoon. Oh, and repeatedly having people spill beer on my jeans, there was that as well. Anyhow, in the evening we were joined by Stuart from the Scottish Arts Council (who does a highly passable impersonation of Groundskeeper Willie from the Simpsons) and recorded this rather messy podcast before, erm... going bowling with Broken Social Scene and We Were Promised Jetpacks, sort of. Actually, that's rather an exaggeration. We went to a fantastically cool bowling alley place to eat, and then those two bands, who seem to have become friends, wandered in, ate something, said hello and then proceeded to spend the rest of the evening bowling. I wouldn't recognise Broken Social Scene of course, but apparently that's who they were, and it did lend the evening a slightly surreal tinge. Toadcast #114 - The South by Southcast 01.

So we have finally hit that time of year when lots of new music is coming out and we couldn’t be happier. Now while it would be easy to just spin all the new stuff we really think it is more fun to through in a bunch of older tracks that you have probably forgotten about or if we are doing a good job, you missed the first time around. So let’s start with the new. We have brand new Pete Yorn & Scarlett Johansson along with a big old helping of Half Hour Music Hour favorites Noah and the Whale and Friska Viljor. Along with that we also have a great track by The Films and something brand new by fun. What you want unreleased tracks? Well we have that too by a little band called Vampire Weekend. And just to make it really crazy, there is even some live Weezer. We hope you enjoy it all cause it is gonna be a long drive. PS - Think you know what the title of the show means? Drop us a line and let us know. The first right answer gets a shout out in the next episode and can request a song that we will play for you. Ep 35 - 128 Kbps MP3 [111.5 MB] 01.
