This week Tyler Brûlé and the team talk to Joshua Cooper Ramo, managing director of Kissinger Associates, to discover the mood at the World Economic Forum in Davos, before embarking on a media debate with Dr Mario García, CEO of García Media, about whether Apple's new iPad device is really set to change the way we consume news. We hear a Nippon-style bossa nova cover in the culture section along with a Monocle music favourite before taking a tour of the 2010 Sundance Film Festival with our correspondent, Luke Crisell. Also in the studio are culture editor Rob Bound and editor Andrew Tuck.

The music in this week's edition was Viva la Vida by Daniela Procopio and Superstar by Taryn Szpilman, both from Couleur Café 'Brazil' mixed by DJ KGO aka Tanaka Keigo, and One Life Stand by Hot Chip.

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.
