Host Ian Bremmer (president and founder of GZERO Media and its parent company, Eurasia Group) provides insightful commentary and analysis on global politics, and conducts in-depth interviews with world leaders and thought leaders each week. This season's themes and topics include the technology competition between the US and China; equitable coronavirus vaccine distribution; continued monitoring of global pandemic hotspots; President Biden's approach to transatlantic and global alliances; conflict and change in the Middle East; data and privacy; immigration and refugee issues; and political developments in Latin America.

Last season, GZERO World hosted news-making interviews with Christine Lagarde, President of the European Central Bank, Jens Stoltenberg, NATO's Secretary General, and Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Prime Minister of Greece, among many others, and won a 2021 Telly Award in the Television – News Feature category for an episode filmed on location at the 2020 Munich Security Conference titled "The Biggest Global Security Threat."

GZERO World episodes on public television also feature PUPPET REGIME, our satirical series that uses puppetry to parody world leaders from Joe Biden, Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and Angela Merkel to tech titans like Mark Zuckerberg. PUPPET REGIME also earned a Telly Award in the Online – Series: Comedy category.

Listen: On the GZERO World Podcast, we’re taking a look at some of the top geopolitical risks of 2025. This looks to be the year that the G-Zero wins. We’ve been living with this lack of international leadership for nearly a decade now. But in 2025, the problem will get a lot worse. We are heading back to the law of the jungle.

Joining Ian Bremmer to peer into this cloudy crystal ball is renowned Stanford political scientist Francis Fukuyama.
