| 6/25/26 | ![]() World War Trade – How tariffs became Trump’s weapon of economic destruction | The eye-watering “Liberation Day” trade tariffs that Trump unleashed on the world on April 2, 2025, are about to expire after the US Supreme Court ruled the President had overstepped his powers. But the damage they’ve caused continues to reverberate. For economists, Trump’s tariffs began World War Trade, a dangerous new era of predatory trade and protectionism. How did tariffs become Trump’s weapon of choice? And is his trade war a total bust? Professor of international economics at IMD Business School Richard Baldwin unpacks the truth about Trump’s tariff policy with Emma Kennedy. • Special offer!

| 6/24/26 | ![]() North Korea's fragile future – What comes after Kim Jong Un? | Kim Jong Un has ruled North Korea with an iron fist since taking power in 2011. But if the dictator died tomorrow, what would happen? Would North Koreans finally taste freedom? Who’s in charge of the nuclear codes? And could his 13-year-old daughter Kim Ju Ae really be next in line to rule one of the world’s most dangerous regimes? Journalist, foreign affairs analyst, and author of The Great Successor: The Secret Rise and Rule of Kim Jong Un Anna Fifield joins Seth Thévos to discuss succession scenarios and where the country – and world – might stand. • Buy Anna’s book The Great Successor: The Secret Rise and Rule of Kim Jong Un from our affiliate bookshop and you’ll help fund the podcast by earning us a small commission for every sale.

| 6/23/26 | ![]() The Reality of Rejoin – Ten years after Brexit vote, can we go back? | It’s ten years to the day since Britain voted by an infamously thin margin to leave the EU – and after a decade of acrimony, most voters now recognise Brexit as a colossal mistake. Yet politicians refuse to reopen this radioactive topic. If so many people hate Brexit, why don’t we just reverse it? Could we even reverse it? And is now the right time? Few people understand the reality of Rejoin more than Anand Menon, Professor of European Politics and Foreign Affairs at King's College London and director of UK in a Changing Europe. He talks to Emma Kennedy about the daunting reality behind the dream of reapplying for EU membership. • Special offer!

| 6/19/26 | ![]() Deal or no deal? – Weekly Wrap-Up with Rafael Behr | Donald Trump has finally put pen to paper and signed an agreement to end the war he started. He quickly lashed out at the “bad people” criticising it – but is it even a deal or just a deal to try and get a deal? Plus: Lib Dem leader Ed Davey calls for a Brexit U-turn, Farage wants foreign nationals banned from social housing and archaeologists find a Stonehenge “prototype”. Rafael Behr joins Jacob Jarvis to unpack the biggest, weirdest and most under-reported stories from the past week. • Special offer!

| 6/18/26 | ![]() The Belfast race riots – The even uglier truth by a journalist who was there | What really triggered the horrific race riots in Northern Ireland earlier this month? Who were the agitators of the “modern-day pogrom” in which balaclava-clad rioters chased people from their homes and torched cars and buildings in overwhelmingly loyalist areas? Belfast-based journalist Amanda Ferguson was on the ground as the violence unfolded. She gives Gavin Esler her eyewitness account of the attacks, the aftermath and the mix of far-right agitation and experienced Loyalist paramilitaries behind these appalling scenes. • Back us on Patreon – www.patreon.com/bunkercastWritten and presented by Gavin Esler.

| 6/17/26 | ![]() Musk will tear us apart? – The national security emergency we need to tackle | What connects violent anti-immigration protests with a defence secretary resigning over a funding row with Number 10? The answer is social cohesion – and Britain isn’t doing enough to protect it. A transnational campaign bringing together MAGA, Russian influence operations and the far right is actively targeting the very bonds that hold us together, says Dr Kate Ferguson, co-founder of Protection Approaches – a charity that campaigns against identity-based violence. Is this just a community relations problem or is something far more serious at play? Do we need to treat social cohesion as a full-blown national security emergency? Kate joins Rafael Behr to discuss how malign actors are attacking British society – and what we can do about it. • Back us on Patreon – www.patreon.com/bunkercast Written and presented by Rafael Behr.

| 6/16/26 | ![]() Empire of Spies – An ex-CIA officer exposes Putin’s intelligence state | The West’s naivete towards Putin in the 2000s cost us dearly. Now Russia’s tyrant – a creature of the KGB/FSB who has returned his country to its roots as a repressive intelligence state – is attacking us with unprecedented ferocity and deviousness. Sean Wiswesser, ex-CIA station chief in the former Soviet Union, says the “reckless” activity of FSB and GRU agents has reached new heights. But can they be stopped – and can we win the intelligence war? He tells Andrew Harrison how intelligence and dirty tricks are inextricable from Putin’s power; how the old skills of “tradecraft” persist alongside new digital tactics; and what really makes Russian intelligence tick. • Buy Sean’s book Tradecraft, Tactics, and Dirty Tricks: Russian Intelligence and Putin’s Secret War from our affiliate bookshop and you’ll help fund the podcast by earning us a small commission for every sale.

| 6/15/26 | ![]() Labour’s anti-social behaviour – Start Your Week with Ros Taylor | Setting out the stories of the next seven days… Labour announce far more draconian restrictions on social media for teens than anyone expected. Why are they being so hardcore now? And will the measures work? Plus: it’s Makerfield by-election week, at last. What will help Labour more: Restore splitting the far-right vote or an England victory against Croatia in the World Cup? And what does Trump’s Iran deal actually mean?

| 5/28/26 | ![]() Iran's regime is fighting for survival – can it hold on? | • It’s Podmasters’ 10th birthday! Get an extra 10% off a year’s Patreon backing.Iran’s hardline regime may have weathered Donald Trump’s onslaught for now – but behind Teheran’s defiance there are deep cracks in its hated, repressive system. They go right back to the genesis and betrayal of the 1979 Revolution, when Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini promised freedom, independence and prosperity only to deliver brutal Islamic law, political executions and a system of oppression that has endured for almost five decades. Award-winning journalists Bozorgmehr Sharafedin and Yeganeh Torbati tell the story of the Iranian people’s dogged struggle for freedom from the mullahs in Stolen Revolution: Betrayal and Hope in Modern Iran. They talk to Dorian Lynskey about what Iran’s future might hold. • Buy Bozorgmehr and Yeganeh’s book Stolen Revolution: Betrayal and Hope in Modern Iran from our affiliate bookshop and you’ll help fund the podcast by earning us a small commission for every sale.

With right-wing Naftali Bennett and centre-left Yair Lapid joining forces and their Together party neck-and-neck with Netanyahu’s Likud in the polls, is the great survivor of Israeli politics about to meet his Waterloo?
