Published: June 26, 2020, 10:27 a.m.

Welcome to the fifteenth episode of StratCast with Seumas Kerr CBE, Tom Cargill and Sophia Gaston. This week covers a characteristically wide range of global and domestic issues, including renewed conflict between India & China, President Trump’s recent apparent criticism of Covid testing, Tanzania’s increasingly dictatorial government, and the future of free trade. It also feature a fascinating interview with BBC Today Programme presenter, journalist Justin Webb, reflecting on coverage of the pandemic to date and posing the question of whether it may lead to journalists trying to understand and address scientific issues in a more informed manner. 

Produced and edited by Nick Hilton for Podot.
