Ardian Mollabeqiri & Robert Skidmore
Monthly podcast. Next episode on Tuesday.
A fun and entertaining look at current events, trade and the United Nations, brought to you from the perspective of two American expats and UN civil servants living in Switzerland. Hilarity ensues as they try to keep a straight face while recapping the latest in current events and the local scene in Geneva, Switzerland as well as interviews with fellow expats on the international scene and leaders in their respective fields.
