Description

After the Headlines — A Long-View Podcast is an audio-first show about stepping back from the noise to understand what’s really going on beneath the surface.


The podcast explores expat life, living abroad, identity, systems, incentives, and the gap between how things are presented and how they’re actually experienced. Sometimes Thailand and life overseas are the lens — because that’s the world I live in — but the bigger patterns are global and universal.


This is not a breaking news podcast.

It’s long-form, opinion-led commentary focused on context, trade-offs, and sense-making — for people who want to think clearly rather than react quickly.


New episodes are published twice a week (Tuesday & Friday).


This isn’t breaking news.

It’s sense-making.

Thailand and life abroad are sometimes the lens, because that’s the world I...
