Munk Members-Only Pod: Episode 23

This is a sample of the Munk Members-Only Podcast. The program provides listeners with a focused, half-hour masterclass on the big issues, events and trends driving news and current events. The show features Janice Gross Stein, the founding director of the Munk School of Global Affairs and bestselling author, in conversation with Rudyard Griffiths, Chair and moderator of the Munk Debates.

This week’s Munk members only podcast explores three topics: as the G7 prepares to meet, questions are being asked about its relevance in a world reshaped by the pandemic – should the G7 become a forum to push back against the rise of China? How do smaller countries like Canada navigate the multilateralism of the post-COVID era?; the U.S. logs another month of surging inflation up 5% year over year – are we on the cusp of a 1970s style surge in inflation? Have policy makers become too complacent about the inflation threat?; and we end the podcast with a frank discussion about “mansplaining” – is the tone of the Munk Members podcast respectful of gender? How can women and men talk to each other effectively?
