This podcast discusses recent events in Syria following the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime, focusing on the sectarian violence erupting between Alawites and Sunnis. An interview with Gareth Brown, a journalist who witnessed the violence in Latakia, reveals the extent of the conflict, including the role of a newly formed Alawite military council and the insufficient control of Ahmed al-Sharaa's government. The second segment shifts to a discussion on mortgage repayment strategies, advising listeners to reassess whether paying down debt or investing is more financially beneficial given rising interest rates and potentially lower stock market returns. Finally, the podcast explores the emergence of Albedo Space, a company offering commercially available, high-resolution satellite imagery comparable to military-grade technology at a significantly lower cost. The podcast concludes by highlighting the implications of this technological advancement for various industries and governments.
