It's the Foreign Influence Podcast, with American Bill Poorman and Dutchman Nikolaj Groeneweg, taking you on a humorously serious and seriously humorous romp through the week's international events! This week:

• Paris faces attacks of freedom of expression - again.

• Europe is going under a new lockdown, the US never got it together, but Asia and the Pacific countries are coming out on top.

• And this time we have some fun with tape we like from this past week.

Thanks for listening!
