Wright on the Nail
‘Wright on the Nail’ is a podcast hosted by music industry entrepreneur Chris Wright. Each week, he is joined by those in-the-know to discuss politics, media, business and lots more. Our episodes alternate between a ‘deep dive’ which gathers experts on a particular topic, and a ‘news roundtable’ where we chew over the biggest issues of the week with big-name journalists and decision-makers.
Wright on the Nail
Geopolitics in Freefall! Trump, Netanyahu, & Iran
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
A fast-moving, no-holds-barred discussion on the escalating Middle East crisis, the global fallout, and the unpredictable leadership of Donald Trump. As tensions rise and strategy falters, the panel asks: is anyone actually in control—and what happens next?
Chris Wright is joined by highly acclaimed writer, journalist, and broadcaster Christina Patterson, co-presenter of Times Radio Breakfast Rosie Wright, and
Michael Gallagher, a freelance writer who specialises in the Middle East and North Africa, bringing firsthand insight into how politics and economics impact the region.
