Description

Alex and Dan sit down with Tim Marshall - bestselling author of Prisoners of Geography and former foreign correspondent - to discuss why geography still rules the world, even in space. From satellite warfare and AI-driven conflict to the race for the Moon's South Pole, Tim explains how mountains, rivers, and Lagrange points shape everything from wars to where we can have babies. Plus: why nationalism is rising, what happens when AI meets mass migration, and why - after 25 years in conflict zones - he's optimistic about humanity's future. A masterclass in understanding how the past, present, and future are all written in the geography around us.
