EA’s Political WorldView podcast takes on the latest with the Iran nuclear deal this week, with the regular panel — Adam Quinn, Christalla Yakinthou, and Scott Lucas of the University of Birmingham — looking forward to the effects within the region and asking, “Is this really a good agreement?”

Later we have a look at Jeremy Corbyn, the surprise new leader of Britain’s opposition Labor Party, to ask if his rise marks the dangerous takeover of the United Kingdom by Red Socialism or a welcome change in the country’s politics.

In between, the Numbers of the Week move from Australia’s change of Prime Ministers to the 14-year-old student in Texas detained for questioning after he brought the electronic clock he had made to school.
