No Mercy / No Malice: The Prof G Storytelling Playbook

After a Scott-free August, Prof. Galloway himself is back! On his triumphant return to the show, Scott talks with Jessica about the misguided MAHA movement, and how the Trump administration is decimating America’s public health institutions. They also look ahead to Congress’s fall agenda, as both parties will try and negotiate around the possibility of a government shutdown — again.  Plus: why was Beijing the real winner of last month’s Trump-Putin summit? Scott and Jessica explain, with help from the new Prof G podcast China Watch, and discuss how the U.S. forced India right into Russia and China’s arms.

In the pilot of China Watch, Alice Han and James Kynge break down how Beijing is positioning itself after the Trump–Putin summit — and why China might quietly prefer a long war in Ukraine. Then, they unpack Trump’s embrace of state-style capitalism and what it means for U.S. allies and rivals alike. Finally, they take you inside Beijing’s first-ever humanoid robot games — a spectacle that’s part comedy, part preview of China’s AI ambitions.  We’d love your feedback.
