单集文稿 ...

  • You're listening to the Global Countdown, first broadcast on the briefing on 6 June.

  • What could that music possibly mean except that Monocle's senior reporter Fernando Augusto Pacheco is here for this week's Global Countdown.

  • Fernando, we have a special one this week, an election special.

  • We've done so much serious news coverage of the elections on the Briefing, the Globalist, all of our shows for the past week or so.

  • So this is the lighter side.

  • It's a bit of a crazy idea, but it is true.

  • It's such an important year for elections everywhere, Chris.

  • And you know, especially around this week, last week or next week, so many countries are voting for different president, prime minister or whatever.

  • And we have a very interesting selection.

  • They're very different countries as.

  • So let's see if their music taste is very different as well.

  • I'm sure it is going to be quite different just because of the list, right.

  • It is such a range of different countries.

  • So where are we headed to first?

  • Which we're not going in the order that the elections themselves were held.

  • We're just going to keep this simple, alphabetical order.

  • Right, alphabetical order.

  • So there's no best or worse.

  • You know, it's just different countries here.

  • We're starting with Belgium.
