First new ep of #MeetTheWriters of 2025 features Monocle’s regular contributor @charleshecker.bsky.social who discusses his debut “Zero Sum” - a exploration of the adventures (or misadventures) of western capitalists venturing into the financial world of Soviet Russia - monocle.com/radio/shows/...

#meetthewriters Having slightly bullied @charleshecker.bsky.social into publicly declaring his intention to write this book, it was delightful to sit down with him to discuss the finished product. This weekend #zerosum was @thetimes.com recommended read, deservedly so. monocle.com/radio/shows/...

Caught my partner with this bitch

🎙️This morning I spoke to @georginagodwin.bsky.social on Monocle Radio about some of the latest developments in #Russia's war in #Ukraine and what a second Trump administration might mean for the conflict. The interview starts 6 minutes and 30 seconds into the recording. monocle.com/radio/shows/...

Got my Serbia protests chat on with @georginagodwin.bsky.social on Monocle Radio's The Globalist earlier today. Daily protests continue despite President Vučić’s insistence that he's met the demonstrators' demands. Lend an ear here: monocle.com/radio/shows/...

#Meetthewriters I first met Lindsey Hilsum in Harare in 1999 when she was interviewing me - so, 25 years later, it was a huge pleasure for me to talk to her about her excellent book "I Brought The War With Me" bit.ly/41tMmvv
