Yes, it's me! Mark Steyn of that ilk - back for another hour of questions from Steyn Clubbers around the planet. The fun starts at 3pm North American Eastern - which is 8pm in the British Isles and 9pm in western and central Europe.

Lots going on in the world - most of it at Trump's golf club in Scotland, where he steamrollered Cruella von der Leyen and humiliated Keir Starmer. But increasing numbers of western governments don't want you to know about any of that:

"I wanted to watch that Sidney Sweeney ad, but I had to get a VPN and set my location to Libertyville, Wyoming" may not be the surefire political winner Labour ministers and EU commissars think it is.

Happy to hear your thoughts on any or all of it. For the moment you can listen live from almost anywhere you chance to be on this turbulent earth. Starting next week, in the European Union and affiliated entities, this show will be distributed exclusively by fax machine. So install yours today!

Membership of The Mark Steyn Club is required only if you wish to ask a question. We love to hear from brand new members, and especially appreciate those who are having such a grand time around these parts that they've signed up a chum for a Steyn Club Gift Membership. Among the additions to our ranks in recent days are newbies from around the planet - from Alaska to Zurich, from Chagrin Falls to Château-Arnoux, from Georgetown, Massachusetts to George Town in the Cayman Islands. If you've joined this week either for a full year or a see-how-it-goes experimental quarter, do shoot me a head-scratcher for today's show.

But, 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. So see you back here at 3pm North American Eastern - which is 8pm in London and Dublin, 9pm in Paris and Berlin, 10pm in Kiev and Jerusalem; half-past-ten in Teheran; midnight-forty-five in Kathmandu; 3am in Singapore and Honkers (sorry about that); 5am in Sydney and Melbourne; 7am in Auckland, and a far more convivial hour for the kippers and kedgeree in His Majesty's Dominions eastward across the Pacific, where you're so far ahead Michael E Mann's probably lost his appeal by now...
