The Wargame

The Wargame is an immersive, investigative podcast from Sky News and Tortoise that simulates a hypothetical Russian attack on the UK. Hosted by security and defence editor Deborah Haynes, the series brings together real-life former ministers, military chiefs, and other experts to navigate the crisis and strategize the country's defense. It delves into the UK's vulnerabilities, explores the historical context of its defense capabilities through candid interviews with past defense secretaries, and examines the complex decisions involved in national security. The podcast offers a thought-provoking blend of speculative scenario-planning and expert analysis, appealing to listeners interested in geopolitics, international relations, military strategy, and government policy, providing a unique insight into the challenges of modern warfare and national preparedness.
