This week, in the second of our series of deep dives, we are talking about Ukraine with Talk Media pal David Pratt. We are really grateful to David for bringing his real life experiences and insights to the podcast and listeners. This podcast was recorded in advance of release.
We've taken this opportunity to welcome Talk Media regular David Pratt in to the studio to record this 2 part series starting with Palestine. With Trump taking up so much of the news space, this gives us a chance to do a deep dive into this horrific conflict that seems to have dropped down the news cycle. A huge thanks to David for taking the time to come in and give us the benefit of his experience and expertise. Part 2 Ukraine will be available next week.
