Show Notes

The U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan has clearly not gone as smoothly one would like, and James Keys and Tunde Ogunlana try to make sense of what has happened and also discuss the media’s role in the over-the-top reactions coming from the public (01:27).  The guys also take a look at a recent report about a Spanish engineer who devised a machine that produces drinking water out of thin air (37:42).
