Driving toward a trade war with China 30:43

17h ago30:43

30:43

Buckle up. This week on the EU Confidential podcast, we’re talking cars. And a looming trade war. European Union countries are split over whether it’s a good idea to take on Beijing and use duties to hit the brakes on China’s booming (and heavily subsidized) electric car industry. At the same time, the EU is trying to shift to greener cars. Seems c…

Using grandma to make people cry about climate change 51:24

9d ago51:24

51:24

Why is it so hard to talk about climate change in a way that actually makes us... feel something?

We're also talking about the German politician…

What do the European Union and Barbie have in common? 47:22

16d ago47:22

47:22

Are European leaders living in a Barbie-like dreamworld? This week, the idealised fantasy of the EU versus its awkward reality. Far from being a continent of grateful europhiles, a lot of people feel apathetic about the European project at best. Paweł Zerka joins us to discuss why non-white, young and Eastern Europeans feel especially left out of t…

37:44

While the podcast takes a little break, we bring this insightful episode back into your feed — unpacking details of who votes for the far right in Europe.

Brussels might seem empty, but high-stakes games are afoot behind the scenes.

3M ago36:43

Big decisions awaited the new class of MEPs this week: Whether to back Ursula von der Leyen for a second term atop the Commission; which committee assignments to pursue; and, most urgently, which Parliament bar to visit to get away from it all.

34:48

Just days into his country's rotating presidency of the Council of the European Union, Hungary Prime Minister Viktor Orbán again stunned other European leaders by setting off on a series of visits to Kyiv, Moscow and Beijing, styling himself as a peace negotiator with a mandate from Brussels.

3M ago34:29

34:29

Just days before the final round of France's snap parliamentary elections, we discuss possible scenarios for what could emerge from the messy political situation in Paris: shiny new leaders, a shaky new government, rocky cohabitation — or even more chaos.

Why is European cinema so different from Hollywood? 52:45

3M ago52:45

52:45

Fewer expensive car chases, more moody shots and ambiguous endings: movies made in Europe are often very different from those made in the US. But Europe's more arty film output isn't just a product of our culture — it has a lot to do with how the industry is financed. This week, we're asking: why is European cinema the way it is, and should we be t…

MEGA shift in the EU's balance of power 37:52

The most confusing elections of all time? 45:55

4M ago45:55

45:55

The far-right surged but the centre held; somehow the two are true at once. Nearly 100 members of the new European Parliament have yet to tell us which political family they’ll be joining. And as for who’s actually going to be running the EU’s institutions for the next five years – right now, it’s anyone’s guess. How can we make sense of these Euro…
