The Andrew Neil Report. First Edition!
I start by laying out my stall in terms of what I hope this podcast will achieve — a global perspective on politics, geopolitics and economics placing events in the context of worldwide trends.
My first guest is Andrew Ross Sorkin, author of books on the Crashes of 1929 and 2008 (that one turned into The Big Short movie). We look at what happened then to see how close we are to another (AI-inspired?) Crash today.

I have been laid off today from the @washingtonpost, along with most of the International staff and so many other wonderful colleagues. I’m heartbroken for our newsroom and especially for the peerless journalists who served the Post internationally — editors and correspondents who have been my friends and collaborators for almost 12 years. It’s been an honor to work with them.
I launched the WorldView column in January 2017 to help readers better understand the world and America’s place in it and I’m grateful for the half a million loyal subscribers who tuned into the column several times a week over the years.
