What do you get when an intelligence officer, a former politician and a journalist meet each other? A podcast, of course.

Here former CIA officer Mark Polymeropoulos, former Home Secretary Amber Rudd and the broadcaster and journalist Mark Urban discuss the week’s events in the world of security, diplomacy and global affairs.

Not only do they give their views on such issues, but they share the discussions that would likely be taking place right now within these teams based on their own experience or expertees. The first episode looks at why Merseyside Police decided to release the ethnicity of the suspect not long after the car incident in Liverpool on Monday.
