Capitals Uncovered — Martin Sieff & Pelle Taylor

Capitals Uncovered — daily geopolitics from London and Washington, with Martin Sieff and Pelle Taylor.

Two capitals, two hosts, one premise: the official version is rarely the true one. NATO, Russia and Ukraine, the Middle East, Anglo-American foreign policy and the permanent security state, analysed in a realist register — with the secret history that explains how we got here. Coups, assassinations, covert operations, propaganda: not a separate subject from the news, but the news thirty years earlier.

New episodes every week. Long-form interviews with heterodox analysts, diplomats and historians — Chas Freeman, John Helmer, Peter Kuznick, Finian Cunningham, Larry Johnson, Hall Gardner, Garland Nixon — plus Principals Only, our no-guest two-hander on first principles.

Pelle Taylor: writer, historian and documentary maker, veteran London/Brussels 
Martin Sieff: Journalist, historian, 40 years experience of Washington, three Pulitzer nominations
