À propos de ce contenu audio

 Just when you think it’s a slow news fortnight, you have to make major cuts to a number of very interesting topics, and the agenda still seems to be way too packed! This week (as many others) we’ll turn our regards toward China and Hollywood, starting with John Cena’s apology—in Mandarin nonetheless—to China for saying that Taiwan was the first country to see Fast & Furious 9, then have a look at cuts to Friends: The Reunion in China, Disney’s pressuring of Filmmaker magazine to censor director Chloé Zhao’s comments about growing up wanting to flee China and China’s Disney diplomacy. Next, we’ll have a quick tour of what life has been like with COVID lockdowns and closed borders for residents of enclaves, exclaves and cross-border towns, in particular the New York/Quebec/Ontario Akwesasne Mohawk community. In the news, we’ll be moved by the effects of hyperlocalization in accessibility when a man with cerebral palsy gets a speech aid with a Yorkshire accent, followed by two cases of accusations of cultural appropriation and finish with a look at how Sesame street is tackling the question of race, racial identity and police brutality with children.

Join host, Michael Reid, as we explore trending cultural and geopolitical topics that affect the way we do business around the world. We examine the overlap between the worlds of politics, culture, religion, trade, race, consumer marketing, ecommerce, social justice, and other topics that global business leaders need to be aware of as they take responsibility for their respective brands both on the global market and in smaller localized markets around the world.

Each week we may have guest hosts and other experts on the show. If you would like to participate or if you have a topic that you would like to see addressed, please let us know in the comments, as well.
