Hi, I'm Ian Bremmer, and welcome to the GZero World Podcast.

It's an audio version of what you can find on public television, where I analyze global topics, sit down with big guests, and make use of little puppets.

This week I've got a special show for you, an exclusive interview with Canada's Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau.

We're switching up the podcast format a bit
