Anita Ryota, a Monocle radio producer, and Chris Chermak, the senior news editor, explore gripping topics like the potential U.S. recession sparked by economic shifts and the recent meeting between Donald Trump and Italy’s Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni. They analyze market reactions, consumer behavior changes, and the rising interest in gardening amidst financial uncertainty. The conversation takes a musical turn with La Force discussing themes of love and mortality, all while navigating the absurdities of political narratives and billionaires' space ventures.
