Christiane Amanpour Presents: The Ex Files

Author: Global

World-renowned journalist Christiane Amanpour and ex-husband Jamie Rubin, a former US State Department official, unpack todays defining global crises. Drawing on decades of insider experience in global affairs, reporting from conflict zones, and grilling world leaders, they explain how we ended up where we are and where we might be going. Forget about a new world order right now, theres no world order. From Trump and Putin to the war in Ukraine, Chinas global rise, and chaos in the Middle East, geopolitics has never been more dangerous or unpredictable. The Ex Files provides unparalleled insight into the issues keeping world leaders, and the rest of us, awake at night. With searing honesty, jaw-dropping stories, and candid humour, this is the foreign policy podcast for our fractured age. Theyre no longer married, but when it comes to current affairs, Christiane and Jamie still finish each others sentences. For advertising opportunities on this podcast email: dax@global.com
