It's Friday again, and thus, time for another SteynOnline Live Q&A Around the Planet. As Mark and all his guests are at the tail end of The Mark Steyn Cruise, we are pleased that our official guest host for the regular guest host, Laura Rosen Cohen, will be joining us this afternoon to take your questions.

Members of The Mark Steyn Club from all over the world are invited to post questions for Laura in the comments section. You may wish to discuss the endless war in Ukraine, the tortuous and endless Republican leadership race, President Pudding Brain Biden or any other topic-serious or more frivolous that floats your boat.

The fun begins at 3pm North American Eastern time/8pm British Summer Time.

~Whether or not you're a member of The Mark Steyn Club, you can listen to our Clubland Q&A live as it happens wherever you chance to be on this turbulent earth: Club membership is required only to ask a question. We love to hear from brand new members, so if you've joined this week, either for a full year or a see-how-it-goes experimental quarter. If you're not interested in joining, no worries, as they say in Oz: We seek no unwilling members - and as always the show is free to listen to, so we hope you'll want to tune in.

As soon as we go live, members should log-in and submit their queries via our comment form below.

Clubland Q&A is a special production for The Mark Steyn Club. We're not paywalling off SteynOnline or any of that nonsense - and in fact this site now offers more free content than ever before in our twenty-year history. But Club membership does confer a few benefits, starting with participation in our weekly Q&As.

So see you back here live this afternoon with Laura at 3pm North American Eastern Time.
