What we have been listening to: July 2025
As July draws to a close, the Defence Research Network has been tuning into gripping podcasts on wargaming, political controversy, and the evolving realities of modern conflict
This month, our playlist takes you inside a major wargame that imagines a Russian attack on the UK – featuring real-life ministers and generals responding in real time. We also examine shifting dynamics in Ukraine, from drone warfare and domestic unrest to questions about Trump’s alleged request to strike Moscow. Finally, we delve into the mechanics of wartime propaganda and how narratives are shaped. Whether you're interested in strategic foresight, frontline developments, or information warfare, these episodes are worth a listen. Here’s what we’ve been tuning into in July:
