Porta's Listen...The Monocle Weekly EDITION 14



EDITION 14
-29 March

The team are back in London for this week's edition of The Monocle Weekly and welcome a champion of the Lebanese Slow Food movement, Kamal Mouzawak, to the studio to talk culture, politics and of course cuisine. Picking up on recent events in the aviation industry, we throw some light on air safety and speak to former pilot Donat Etienne in Brussels. We also hear from our correspondents Ivan Carvalho and Steve Bloomfield who tackle the issues of luxury watches and the African economy respectively. In culture this week Rob Bound plays us his choice track and Alain de Botton reads a sneak preview from his new book. All this, and the usual studio discussion from host Tyler Brûlé and our editor Andrew Tuck.

I haven’t missed an episode yet, genuinely enjoying the mix of news, culture, business, politics, design, music, etc. all expertly produced into a very accessible 30-minute-or-so package presented by the magazine’s editor, Tyler Brûlé (who is a pretty big ponce, as demonstrated by this FT article). Definitely something to subscribe to (on iTunes), published every Sunday.

You can listen to the broadcasts at The Monocle Weekly website or subscribe to the podcast on iTunes.
