Critically-acclaimed geopolitics podcast Doomsday Watch announces a brand-new season

The hit series from Podmasters returns on October 26 to investigate under-reported threats to global security today – and the under-the-radar dangers of tomorrow.

Returning for a third series, host and security expert Arthur Snell brings together global experts to explore the persistent risks to global stability and human survival.


In a 10-part deep dive documentary arc, Doomsday Watch goes beyond the headlines on a world in which Vladimir Putin threatens nuclear war in his Ukraine rampage; drones fight in our skies as doomsday weapons grow ever more powerful; and American democracy faces a deadly authoritarian challenge.


Says Arthur Snell — “We launched Doomsday Watch last year, and the world really felt on the brink. Putin has now pushed us over the edge. This year we really wanted to pick up a clear thread from our first season — that everything is connected. We want to take a sober look at the potential Doomsday scenarios we face - which can frankly be quite terrifying.


“But perhaps despite our podcast’s name, after speaking with a group of experts from all across the world, I’m still hopeful — if we take a deep look at our problems, then we can turn the corner.”


Following a successful first series in 2021, Doomsday Watch took a break from its usual format to release linear episodes (called ‘War Bulletins’) focusing on the war in Ukraine. The podcast has reached more than one and a half million listeners and recently ran its first live event at 21Soho in London.

or Andrew Harrison says it’s the right time to launch a new series:


“Our listeners have reacted incredibly positively to Arthur and the team’s work. In a terrifying world, people really want to go deeper on the issues of our times to understand how we got here and how we can avoid Doomsday.


“This podcast does a magnificent job of looking at the big issues of our times, with great storytelling and fascinating insights into the hidden forces - and clear and present dangers - which make the world more dangerous.”
