The Monocle Weekly

The Monocle Weekly

Following Switzerland's controversial decision this week not to extradite Roman Polanski, the Monocle Weekly team kick of this edition with a discussion on Swiss/US relations with Haig Simonian, Switzerland correspondent for the Financial Times. As the Farnborough International Airshow takes off we get a preview of what to expect from Murdo Morrison, editor of Flight International magazine, before talking to the co-founder of our favourite London bookstore, Brett Wolstencroft of Daunt Books, about this summer's hottest reads. And culture editor Rob Bound is in the studio to play his week's music picks.
