The Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI), is pleased to be launching a new podcast - Stop the World.
Everything seems to be accelerating: geopolitics, technology, security threats, the dispersal of information. At times, it feels like a blur.
But beneath the dizzying proliferation of events, discoveries, rivalries and unravellings, there are deeper trends that can be grasped and understood through conversation and debate.
That’s the idea behind Stop the World, the Australian Strategic Policy Institute’s podcast on international affairs and security. Each week, we cast a freeze-frame around the blur of events and bring some clarity and insight on defence, technology, cyber, geopolitics and foreign policy.
We bring you the best minds and voices—Australian and international guests as well as our own experts—to talk about everything from rising authoritarianism to climate change, from armed conflict to disinformation. We talk about problems and solutions, how to maintain our liberal democratic values in an era of conflict and consider the big picture without missing the detail.
Our conversations aren’t just for policy wonks but for anyone interested in defence, international affairs and security. Follow us on Spotify and join us each week on Stop the World.
