The Afghanistan Papers • The UK Votes • Thomas Jestin on Inequality, GDP, and Tech Optimism

Join American Bill Poorman and Dutchman Nikolaj Groeneweg, living in Asia, as they take you on a humorously serious and seriously humorous romp through the week's international news! In this week's episode:

• The Afghanistan Papers show we've all been lied to about the war
• UK bollocks and the impact on Europe
• A conversation with entrepreneur and writer Thomas Jestin on inequality, alternatives to GDP, and how tech is providing and will provide for a better world
• That and our usual dose of good news, which is so much optimism and happiness that we almost can't stand it
