Welcome to the Lovejoy Hour, sponsored by cook 100 degree boiling hot water straight from your kitchen tap.

People think it's just for making tea, but no, no, no, it's good for your veg, it's good for your pasta, it's good for your rice, it's good for cleaning the pots.

It's good for coffee too, make an espresso, then fill it up with hot water straight from your tap and turn it into an Americano.

I love mine.

For more details, go to cucka.co.ukk. On today's podcast, I'm curious about the ownership of

space. Now, this might sound like a weird thing to be curious about, but whoever owns space has the

power. And USA, Russia and China are the major players. But could someone like

Elon Musk enter the game? Could he be competing against countries? At the moment, the threat

from space is not aliens, it's humans. Today's guest is Tim Marshall, a leading authority

on foreign affairs. He's reported from 40 countries

working for Sky and BBC and has written the following books, Prisoner of Geography, great book,

worth dying for the power of politics of flags, great book, shadow play behind the lines

and under file, not read that one yet, but I'm sure it's good, and divided why we're living

in an age of wars, good book. I've read that one too.

These books are excellent, all of them. His latest is The Power of Geography, 10 Maps that

reveal the future of our world. And he dedicates the last chapter to space. Let's meet him.

It's Tim Marshall.

Tim, welcome to the podcast. How are you? I'm well. Thank you, Tim. It seems like only four years since I was last on. Was it four years? Something like that. Blimey. Great book.

Why don't you tell us what it's about for start to start with?

Okay.

Power of geography is about how geography partially determines how a country acts.

The choices that it makes.
