This week Tyler Brûlé is joined in our London studio by Trefor Moss, Asia-Pacific editor of Jane's Defence Weekly, to talk about the massive defence spending spree Australia is about to embark on and what it could mean for the region. We also hear from director Kirby Dick about his new documentary film, Outrage, which is about to send waves through Washington, and turn to Gavin MacFadyen, director of the Centre for Investigative Journalism, to ask if the big screen is the new forum for investigative journalism. Alexia Hentsch, entrepreneur and founder of the fashion brand Hentsch Man, also drops by to talk about her new pop-up shop opening in London's Notting Hill, while editor Andrew Tuck and culture editor Rob Bound provide culture, comment and debate.

The Monocle Weekly is a mix of smart discussion, previews, field reports and feature interviews. From our studio in London and our bureaux in Tokyo and New York, Monocle's editors focus on the horizon and explore the looming stories within the five areas that define our editorial agenda: global affairs, business, culture, design and consumer culture.

Hosted by editor in chief Tyler Brûlé, The Monocle Weekly also offers fresh angles on stories in the current issue and delivers in-depth follow-ups from past assignments. Culture editor Robert Bound is a regular with his weekly playlist of artists established and obscure.

Editor Andrew Tuck pulls in contributions from our correspondents in far flung corners and moderates debates. And from Tokyo and New York editors Fiona Wilson and Ann Marie Gardner deliver features and perspectives from Asia and the Americas.
