Ep34 - Schrödinger's Iran

<p>Iran was never harmless, but that did not stop the experts from being confidently wrong. Jonathan and Kanthan unpack the war, Tehran’s enriched nuclear material, and what a Trump deal might actually look like. Back home, we look at Geordin Hill-Lewis as DA leader, Helen Zille’s Johannesburg challenge, and what the Phala Phala ruling could mean for Cyril Ramaphosa.</p><p><br /></p><p>After a prolonged break, The Overton Pod is back!</p><p><br /></p><p>Proudly brought to you by The Overton Press.</p><p>Subscribe at ⁠https://overtonpress.substack.com/⁠</p><p><br /></p><p>If you enjoyed this podcast please like, subscribe and share.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thumbnail by Darren De Lange - https://bit.ly/ddlcreates</p>

Ep33 - Dear John

<p>Kanthan and Jonathan push back on the hysteria around the Jeffrey Epstein files, arguing that the saga is far less consequential than many claim. They then turn to John Steenhuisen’s fall from grace, unpacking what it means for his political future and the knock-on effects for the DA. The episode closes with a hard look at the prospects of South Africa’s most prominent political parties and who is actually positioned to survive the next electoral cycle.</p><p><br></p><p>Proudly brought to you by The Overton Press.</p><p>Subscribe at ⁠https://overtonpress.substack.com/⁠</p><p><br></p><p>If you enjoyed this podcast please like, subscribe and share.</p><p><br></p><p>Thumbnail by Darren De Lange - https://bit.ly/ddlcreates</p>

Ep32 - The Donroe Doctrine

<p>Jonathan and Kanthan unpack Trump’s revival of the Monroe Doctrine and what it signals for American power in the Western Hemisphere. From Venezuela and the arrest of Maduro, to the knock-on effects for Colombia, Cuba, and even Greenland, the hosts examine how far Trump is willing to push US influence and whether he might actually get away with it. The discussion then turns to the grinding war in Ukraine, protests erupting across Iran, and the increasingly punitive tax regime driving wealth and talent out of California.</p><p><br></p><p>Proudly brought to you by The Overton Press.</p><p>Subscribe at ⁠https://overtonpress.substack.com/</p><p><br></p><p>⁠If you enjoyed this podcast please like, subscribe and share.</p><p><br></p><p>Thumbnail by Darren De Lange - https://bit.ly/ddlcreates</p>
