You can tell there is a lot going on in the world because this new episode of the Just Williams podcast clocks in at just under 30 minutes.

That isn't to say that there wasn't an awful lot happening before, it's just that everything (as you shall hear)seems to be on the turbo boost setting.

So let Val, John and Duncan whisk you around the globe to check-in with all the news either coming from, or impacting on, the financial and investment markets. Which means, and in no particular order, Trumps and Tariffs, robots in Japan, the end of a cycle in China and the shortage (albeit temporary) of vowels in the north of Scotland.

If only the rest of the world was as thought through as this podcast.
