Listen to the last episode:
This week Saul and Patrick digest another week of drama in the world of US politics, with the tardy but sensible decision by President Joe Biden to withdraw from the US presidential race on Sunday in favour of his much younger Vice President, Kamala Harris. Which begs two questions. Can she beat Donald Trump to the presidency? And if she does, what will this mean for Ukraine?
