The CNN Anchor and journalist Christiane Amanpour has spent much of her career reporting from the front lines, analysing key events and interviewing world leaders. She’s now launched a new podcast picking apart international affairs with her trademark wit and insight with co-host Jamie Rubin, who was a US State Department official under President Bill Clinton and Joe Biden. A surprising twist? They are exes, married for 20 years and divorced for the past seven, yet both fondly remembering the deep conversations and keen to keep them going at a time when world affairs feel particularly perilous.
It is a deeply insightful listen, weaving professional insights and with a personal touch and witty anecdotes, removing the stuffiness that can sometimes awry with podcasts tied to international news. Would I start a podcast with my ex? Hell no, but I’m happy they have.
