Geopower, Energy Realpolitik

Thursday 1 pm ET - The Midday Report

Geopower, Energy Realpolitik examines how energy, markets, and geopolitics converge to define global influence in the 21st century. Each episode dives beneath the headlines — from nuclear renaissance and energy security to AI-driven grid demand and rare-earth dependencies — to reveal how power is negotiated, traded, and weaponized.

Hosted by energy and geopolitical expert Todd Royal, who understands both the boardroom and the war room, the show translates complex global energy dynamics into clear, compelling narratives. Listeners gain not just information, but insight — a strategic understanding of how today’s energy decisions are redrawing tomorrow’s world order.

This is not a show for slogans or ideology. It’s for those who want to understand how pipelines, ports, and policies shape empires and elections alike. With an analytical style reminiscent of Foreign Affairs and the storytelling pace of The Economist, the program dissects the hard realities behind the world’s energy transformation — the deals, rivalries, and shifting alliances that define modern power.

Each week, we connect the dots between capital markets, national strategy, and technological disruption — making sense of the global energy chessboard, one move at a time.
