Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, Benjamin Netanyahu, Rishi Sunak, Giorgia Meloni.
These names are known across the world. Powerful leaders, inducted into the highest echelons of society, who make decisions that shift geopolitics.
But before they were world leaders, they were ordinary people. And in delving into their pasts, perhaps we can see who they might become — and what they might do — to affect our futures.
Experts, colleagues and confidantes of these most powerful people will share their insights in a
new podcast hosted by Hamish Macdonald.
The first episode of
Take Me To Your Leader launches on the ABC listen app on January 25.
And we have updates on RN's 2023 radio schedule.
RN Drive will bring you the best news and analysis of the day at the earlier time of 4pm, before

Then, from 6pm Monday to Thursday, tune in to our specialist programming hour of
Health Report, The Law Report, The Religion and Ethics Report and
The Money. On Fridays, you can catch
Marc Fennell's media, culture, and technology program,

RN's afternoon schedule will still include the ever-popular
Conversations at the earlier time of 2pm and the encore broadcast of
