Excellent as usual 👍

Diversity is definitely NOT Lebanon's strength.

Has something happened to Phil? He always sounds so nervous these days. Not like when he used to banter with Jacob in the past

I think he’s working on his formerly-halting delivery, full of “ums” and “you knows.” He probably sounds nervous because he’s trying to avoid those annoying vocal tics. Pretty soon he’ll arrive at his new smooth and confident delivery. Meanwhile, his actual information is as good as always.

@@melodymaker135 I definitely prefer listening to someone saying "umm" and "you know" over a nervous tone though. I genuinely can't concentrate on a thing he says now because he sounds so unsure of himself that my brain tells me it must not be worth listening to. He's got good insights to share I just wish it came with a confidence I can comfortably tune in to.

Most people are terrible public speakers, and these guys a geopolitical wonks not professional public speakers. They'll get better as time goes by and they get more experience/confidence.

Good content on this channel, but the speakers are awful. Nervous, monotone and grating. Puts me off listening to be honest.

Agreed. They really need some talking heads that put the "show" into all of this. Let these smart people be the sources, let some guy do the speaking.

The Lebanese guy is okay, to be fair. I enjoy his accent. Philip, Alison and the Kiwi guy do my head in though.
