Andrew Collingwood is an equally skeptical journalist. Lately, both have realised that - post-Ukraine, post-Afghanistan withdrawal - the old, unipolar, US-led world order is in its death throes. In its wake, something new is being born. But what shape will that take? That will depend on a combustible combination of economics and geopolitics; trade and military muscle. Each week, our duo take three off-radar news stories and explain how each is shaping our multipolar reality.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/multipolarity-5951710"},"episode":{"title":"Two Audio Essays: Bessent’s Big Gold Short and TACO Revisited","slug":"two-audio-essays-bessent-s-big-gold-short-and-taco-revisited","published_at":"2026-02-05T07:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/multipolarity-5951710/two-audio-essays-bessent-s-big-gold-short-and-taco-revisited","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/multipolarity-5951710","url":"https://multipolarity.captivate.fm/episode/two-audio-essays-bessents-big-gold-short-and-taco-revisited","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/episodes.captivate.fm/episode/d92779f4-0346-496b-88f3-83197347ac8d.mp3","summary":"Today we bring you two audio essays from your favourite geo-political podcasters. First up Philip is looking at the recent attempt to short the precious metals market. Perhaps the push to lower the interest rate is not to juice the economy but rather an attempt ultimately stop the Sell America trade? Meanwhile Andrew’s shouting from the rooftops \"it’s right there in the document!\". The Donroe Doctrine … Trump wants to restore American preeminence in the Western Hemisphere, and the evidence has been there the whole time.
