Turkey’s first English broadcasting international news platform, TRT World continues to broadcast new programs including its brand new show Roundtable. Broadcast out of London, Roundtable is a discussion programme debating the issues that matter to TRT World’s audience. Big ideas and big thinkers make this ambitious new programme a key part of TRT World’s current affairs offering.
Presented by David Foster, all opinions and views are brought to the table and discussed in an accessible and straight forward style. Teamed with exceptional visuals and cutting edge design, Roundtable is a discussion programme with an edge.
Tackling issues such as inequality, we ask if there can ever be an argument for trickle-down economics. We ask if election hacks can ever be good for democracy; we’ll analyse the state of global punishment systems and ask if gene editing a human embryo is ever ethical.
Sarah Head, Executive Producer of Roundtable says, “the show will analyse ideas that actually matter to you, in an accessible and compelling way – Roundtable will make sense of the word around us.”
The programme host, David Foster commented, “Roundtable gives our viewers the chance to listen in to an intimate conversation between big-thinkers about controversial issues that shape our world.” Adding that, “it brings exciting ideas and people together, and let’s the sparks fly!”
Roundtable is relevant issues and relevant people analyzing the subjects that matter to you.
The first episode of the new weekday show, Roundtable, will be aired on Monday July 3rd at 15:30GMT.
