Bradley Hope returns to the podcast.
Some of the things that stand out from this episode that I would encourage you to stay around for include…
- the Shiek Down, this brazen transference of power and wealth which MBS oversaw.
- Bradley’s take on the supposed sports-washing this region has been all over the news for, specifically here, referring to football and golf.
- The US/Saudi relationship
- NEOM
- And in between all of that a sense for MBS as told through the reporting and journalism of one of the best.
