By far the highest production value I’ve ever done. We recorded this together in Bradley’s studio in London. It’s TV quality stuff so refer to youtube for this one.Â
And the podcast was as much in 90 minutes that we could possibly do around his book, Blood and Oil.Â
The co-author of which, Justin Scheck has also been a previous guests on this podcast.
Blood and Oil is the story of MBS, Mohammed bin Salman, who is the crown prince and most powerful person in Saudi Arabia, he is as well, the singular vision responsible for most of the good but as well, most of the bad that Saudi Arabia has been responsible for since about 2017.
Some of the things that stand out from this episode that I would encourage you to stay around for include…
- Â the Shiek Down, this brazen transference of power and wealth which MBS oversaw.
- Bradley’s take on the supposed sports-washing this region has been all over the news for, specifically here, referring to football and golf.
- The US/Saudi relationship
- NEOM
- And in between all of that a sense for MBS as told through the reporting and journalism of one of the best.
