Hey there, it's Usmai Interesting here.
Hey guys, as we reached the end of 2025,
we wanted to bring you a few of our favourite episodes of the podcast
since we relaunched in September.
That's right.
And we will be back in the new year with brand new episodes,
bringing you stories about where the world and America meet.
And we love to hear from you about what you thought about the episodes,
the other topics we've been looking at.
So please message us.

And Tristan, one of the episodes I was incredibly intrigued by was back in September,
we looked at how deeply the tech company Apple is entrenched in China.
And we looked at its attempts to bring production of MacBooks and iPhones back to the United States.
And why I thought this episode was so interesting is you get a sense of not just how Apple has used China as a manufacturing hub,
but also what China's gotten out of this symbiotic relationship.
