Make Argentina Great Again. That's the catchcry Javier Milei has borrowed from his friend, Donald Trump. Wildly brash (like Trump) deliberately unkempt (like Boris Johnson), Milei has made his way to the top job with no government experience and a whole lot of chutzpah. And you won’t believe who – or what – set him on this path... Guests: Dr Constanza Sanhueza - Lecturer in Political Science, Australian National University Vera Bergengruen - TIME Washington DC reporter Eduardo Amadeo - Diplomat, economist, and economic advisor to Javier Milei’s Security Minister Producers: Zoe Ferguson and Linda Lopresti Executive Producer: Amruta Slee Sound Engineer: John Jacobs

Guests: John Limbert – One of the 55 American hostages held in captivity in Iran in 1979 Arash Azizi - Iranian writer and Historian. Senior lecturer in political science and history at Clemson University Fereshteh Sadeghi - Iranian journalist based in Tehran Producers: Zoe Ferguson and Linda Lopresti Executive Producer: Amruta Slee Sound Engineer: John Jacobs
