À propos de cet audio

Three stories to expand your worldview, delivered daily. Matt Galloway cuts through a sea of choice to bring you stories that transcend the news cycle. Conversations with big thinkers, household names, and people living the news. An antidote to algorithms that cater to what you already know — and a meeting place for diverse perspectives. In its 20 years, the Current has become a go-to place for stories that shape and entertain us. Released daily, Monday to Friday.


The Current is produced in Toronto, Ontario, Canada — and has recently recorded live shows about the Canadian election in Surrey and Burnaby BC. And shows to come in Oshawa and the 905, Red Deer, Alberta, Quebec City and Halifax.

After posting “a whole civilization will die tonight,” Donald Trump gave Iran a deadline to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and then a last minute agreement was reached. Gregg Carlstrom, Middle East correspondent for The Economist, joins us from Qatar to talk about the conditions of the ceasefire. And Mehrzad Boroujerdi, Professor of Political Science at Missouri University of Science and Technology, talks about reaction in the Iranian diaspora and the political fallout of the war in the United States.
