Phileas #15 – Our Chinese overlords

Episode 15 is a slightly different show; the original idea was to have a long part of the first, “internationnal” segment as a discussion about China and how we see it in our future, and then move on the the local stories… But as the flow of the show went seamlessly the other way around, we decided to keep it going like the natural, fun conversation we like to have every month. As we said during the show, the Phileas Club is a planet wide coffee table where friends of different backgrounds come together and chat for a while.

So for the month of July, Turki, Scott and Patrick talk about health care, Walter Cronkite, Iranian planes, swine flu pandemic, Barrack Obama, French workers blowing up factories, as well as the issue of sex toys on Saudi TV and the future of our Chinese overlords.

Phileas #12 – Do YOU have the pig flu?

Roger from East Meets West (and from San Francisco) and Mohammed “the kid” from Qatar join me in this episode as we wait for that guy from Saudi Arabia to remember he’s due for our panel. Yes, Turki forgot about us a second time (and he’ll never hear the end of it). He does end up joining us though, and we tackle a number of issues, some very serious and some really not… Petty much as usual.

Some of the topics we talk about include: police violence at the G20, Talibans resurgence, Ahmadinejad at the Durban II conference, Obama and south America and the EU elections.

Enjoy!
