  • 50 - Is China winning and Trump losing on climate?

    Much has been going on around the world this year so climate and environment have taken a back seat. Now with the US electing a president who calls climate change a hoax, how will conversations and actions change globally? Perhaps there are opportunities for Australia as China increases its dominance.  Martijn Wilder joins us to discuss - and it's not all bad. Martijn founded Pollination, a climate change advisory and investment firm that's working to speed up the transition to net zero. But he's worked in climate law and policy for many years, advising governments and organisations.  RECOMMENDATIONS: Geraldine: Documentary film Martha on Netflix  Hamish:  The Jury: Death on the Staircase  directed by Tosca Looby on SBS on Demand GET IN TOUCH:  We'd love to hear from you!

  • 49 - How Will Trump Rule Now? Jonathan Swan

    Donald Trump has a mandate to do what he promised after winning easily. But how far will he actually go and how fast? And will he try to unite the country a little, as hinted at in his victory speech?  Jonathan Swan, who’s been covering Trump for close to a decade, warns that Trump's been emboldened to take more risk, and little stands in his way this time. Swan is a reporter for The New York Times covering national politics and the US government but known for his Emmy-award winning interview with Trump when he was president.
