Description

Fault Lines is a clear-eyed series of conversations about security, resilience and preparedness in a changing world. Rod Whiting cuts through the noise to explore what this means for Britain — and how ready we are for what lies ahead.

Drawing on four decades in broadcasting, including 25 years with the BBC, Rod brings a calm, questioning approach to complex issues — focusing not on alarmist headlines, but on the forces shaping events and their real-world consequences.


Each episode features informed, measured conversations with experts in defence, intelligence, emergency, and related fields. The aim is not to alarm, but to understand: what’s changing, where the risks lie, and how individuals, communities, and institutions might respond.


Fault Lines is produced alongside Rod’s Fault Lines Substack, where you’ll find further analysis and commentary exploring the same themes in more depth. 👇

Is America beginning to resemble the very system it spent decades trying to contain? In this episode of Fault Lines, Rod Whiting is joined by Russia and security expert Keir Giles to discuss his provocative new book, American Overthrow: Moscow’s Endgame in Its Long War with Washington. The conversation explores whether democratic institutions in the United States are being eroded in ways that echo the Kremlin’s playbook - and what that could mean for Britain, Europe and the wider West. Togeth...
For this latest episode of Fault Lines, I’m joined by one of Europe’s leading geopolitical strategists, Velina Tchakarova. Wars in Ukraine and the Middle East are often reported as separate events. Velina argues they’re part of a much bigger shift reshaping security, energy, food, industry and the global economy all at the same time. We explore why resilience now means far more than military strength, why Europe has been slow to adapt to a changing strategic reality, and why governments need ...
In this episode of Fault Lines, Rod Whiting is joined by Major General Tim Cross CBE to discuss resilience, national security, and the changing nature of modern conflict. As Britain debates defence spending, military readiness and its role within NATO, Tim argues that resilience is about far more than tanks, ships and aircraft. From cyber attacks and disinformation to social cohesion, leadership, and public confidence, the battleground has expanded far beyond the front line. The conversation ...
