The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov break down Trump’s signature move: flooding the zone. From a massive Epstein document dump that swallows the news cycle, to Trump inserting himself into active investigations and openly pushing to “nationalize” voting, the noise is the point. Then, they zoom out to Trump’s broader project — remaking Washington in his own image, from cultural institutions to public monuments — and ask whether it’s ideology, ego, or legacy-building. Finally, they look at a very different kind of power: Bad Bunny’s moment, celebrity resistance to Trump’s immigration crackdown, and whether culture can still move politics when politics feels overwhelming.

In this episode of China Decode, Alice Han and James Kynge unpack how China is reshaping global power—sometimes loudly, sometimes through pandas, ports, and pop culture. As Donald Trump warns allies like the U.K. and Canada that getting closer to Beijing is “dangerous,” reality tells a messier story: British pharma giant AstraZeneca is cutting billion-dollar deals in China, Japan is losing its last pandas amid rising tensions, and Washington is scrambling to blunt China’s grip on critical minerals.

They also dive into a Panamanian court ruling that just blew up a Hong Kong firm’s control over key canal ports—an apparent U.S. win that could quickly become a new U.S.–China flashpoint over one of the world’s most important trade chokepoints. And finally, they decode the viral idea that everyone is living a “very Chinese time,” from wellness trends to memes, and what it says about growing American disillusionment—and China’s evolving soft power. Why does all this matter? Because these fights aren’t abstract: they affect supply chains, prices, travel, jobs, and how the next generation sees America’s place in the world.
