Over the past 25 years, China's military engagement with Africa has grown dramatically. In 2000, fewer than 5% of African weapons came from China. Today, Chinese-made armored vehicles are used by 70% of African militaries, and China has become the continent's largest arms supplier. Officer training programs have followed a similar trajectory. At the turn of the century, fewer than 200 African officers were trained in China; today, that number exceeds 2,000. Paul Nantulya, a veteran China–Africa military analyst and research associate at the Africa Center for Strategic Studies, joins Eric and Cobus to unpack his latest findings on how Beijing is deepening its defense ties across the continent.

Send us a textEver wondered what really happens during a vasectomy? Or why that morning coffee might be setting you up for kidney stones? Dr. David Ludlow pulls back the curtain on men's health topics most guys are too uncomfortable to discuss."That wasn't as bad as I thought it would be" – the phrase Dr. Ludlow hears so often from vasectomy patients that he jokes about putting it on t-shirts. In this eye-opening conversation, he dispels common myths about men's health procedures that keep many from seeking necessary care. From explaining how robotic surgery works (no, the robot isn't performing surgery while the doctor takes a coffee break) to clarifying that vasectomies won't affect your ability to perform or enjoy sex, Dr. Ludlow addresses the concerns men rarely voice but frequently worry about.The discussion ventures into surprising territory, revealing how our modern lifestyle impacts urological health in unexpected ways. Those energy drinks you're chugging for hydration? They're actually dehydrating you. That Western diet with processed foods? It might explain why African-Americans have higher prostate cancer rates than native Africans. Even excessive pornography consumption gets examined for its potential physical (not just psychological) impacts on sexual function – a topic rarely addressed in medical discussions but increasingly relevant as Dr. Ludlow sees young patients with dysfunction issues that shouldn't typically affect their age group.Whether you're approaching the age for prostate screening, considering a vasectomy, or simply want to understand how to maintain optimal urological health, this conversation delivers practical insights without the embarrassment of the exam room. Listen now to hear from the doctor who's seen it all and isn't afraid to talk about it – your body will thank you.

Her research interests include mobility and dietary adaptations in archaeological human populations; African strontium isoscapes and isotopic investigations of the Atlantic and transatlantic slave trade; the dietary ecology of extant African great apes; great ape breastfeeding and weaning; and chimpanzee tool use and termite-chimpanzee interactions. In this episode, we talk about the diets of great apes and the evolution of the human diet. We start by talking about how we can study human diets through archaeological and fossil remains. We discuss the diets of other great apes, and what we can tell about our last common ancestor and the earlier hominins. We then talk about the human diet in the Paleolithic, and whether there really is a “paleo diet”. Finally, we talk about the changes to our diet that were brought about by agriculture.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

  Step back in time with me to 1977, to a cultural event so monumental it was dubbed the "Black World's Fair." In this episode, we journey to Lagos, Nigeria, for FESTAC '77, the Second World Black and African Festival of Arts and Culture. What made this month-long celebration a landmark of Black pride and unity, and why does its legacy still echo nearly fifty years later? I'll share insights from my conversation with Roy Lewis, the official photographer for the North American zone, who was there to capture it all. Join me as we explore the story of this incredible gathering of artists, thinkers, and performers from across the African diaspora and uncover a piece of our history that continues to inspire.   Chapters (0:00) - Intro (1:29) - A Journey Back to FESTAC '77 (6:15) - The Rigorous Road to Lagos (7:05) - Inside the Festival: A Cultural Feast (9:08) - The Lasting Legacy of FESTAC (11:53) - A Juneteenth Reflection and a Call to Imagine   Learn About Roy Lewis Festac 77 Documentary on YouTube: http://bit.ly/449xUIB Ebony Magazine Festac Edition: http://bit.ly/3T3WGoy   Support the Show Website: www.martineseverin.com Follow on Instagram: @martine.severin | @thisishowwecreate_ Subscribe to the Newsletter: www.martineseverin.substack.com This is How We Create is produced by Martine Severin.

Interested in hunting Africa but don't quite know where to start? This is an “Africa Hunting 101” episode aimed at answering many of the basic questions first time hunters have prior to booking a hunt in Africa like: where to go, what animals they should focus on, the pros and cons of hunting at various times of year, how to pick a good outfitter, etc. John also shares a few examples of what animals are good for that first time hunt, stories from previous hunts, and a few cautionary tales of how things went off the rails for those who did not follow these principles. Sponsor: Get in touch with me to make your Africa hunting dreams come true on a hunt in South Africa. We offer outstanding hunting safaris, simplified hunt logistics, assistance with many of the pain points associated with a hunt, and up front pricing with no extra fees. We are full for 2025 and June, July and August 2026, but still have some openings remaining otherwise next year. Visit bestsafarihunt.com or email me at john@thebiggamehuntingblog.com to learn more.  In this episode of The Big Game Hunting Podcast, host John McAdams discusses the basics of hunting Africa and recounts some stories from previous hunts, provides recommendations on places and animals to target on that first trip over, and shares a few stories of how things went right (and wrong) on various hunts. John also discusses rifles, cartridge, and other gear recommendations that can help make that first trip to Africa a memorable one. The big takeaway? An African safari for plains game is a fun and cost effective way to experience a trip to the dark continent, but it's also essential that you prioritize what's important to you and choose an outfitter who will deliver the experience you want.

Independent Africa: The First Generation of Nation Builders (Indiana UP, 2023)explores Africa's political economy in the first two full decades of independence through the joint projects of nation-building, economic development, and international relations. Drawing on the political careers of four heads of states: Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana, Ahmed Sékou Touré of Guinea, Léopold Sédar Senghor, and Julius Kambarage Nyerere of Tanzania, Independent Africa engages four major themes: what does it mean to construct an African nation-state and what should an African nation-state look like; how does one grow a tropical economy emerging from European colonialism; how to explore an indigenous model of economic development, a "third way," in the context of a Cold War that had divided the world into two camps; and how to leverage internal resources and external opportunities to diversify agricultural economies and industrialize. Combining aspects of history, economics, and political science, Independent Africa examines the important connections between the first generation of African leaders and the shared ideas that informed their endeavors at nation-building and worldmaking. Professor Akyeampong is the former Oppenheimer Faculty Director of the Harvard University Center for African Studies and the Ellen Gurney Professor of History and of African and African American Studies at Harvard University. He joined the History faculty at Harvard upon receiving his Ph.D. in African History from the University of Virginia in 1993.

Professor Akyeampong is currently the Ellen Gurney Professor of Professor Akyeampong's publications include Themes in West Africa's History (2005), which he edited; Independent Africa: The First Generation of Nation Builders (2023); Between the Sea and the Lagoon: An Eco-Social History of the Anlo of Southeastern Ghana, 1850 to Recent Times (2001); and Drink, Power and Cultural Change: A Social History of Alcohol in Ghana, c. 1800 to Present Times (1996). He was a co-chief editor with Henry Louis Gates, Jr., for the Dictionary of African Biography, 6 Vols. (2012). Professor Akyeampong has been awarded several research fellowships, and from 1993 to 1994, he was the Zora Neale Hurston Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study and Research in the African Humanities at Northwestern University. He was named a Corresponding Fellow of the Royal Historical Society in 2002, and was nominated to be a Fellow of the Ghana Academy of Arts and Sciences. In 2018 he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws by the University of Ghana.

Many have viewed O'Keeffe's abstract oil paintings as erotic. She blithely dismissed those assumptions in her lifetime. And while her work was praised by women artists and second wave American feminists as proof of their own potential, she refused that identification. Her work was her work and her accomplishments were her accomplishments. She did not want to lead or represent anyone but herself. Known as the mother of American modernism, film directors Paul and Ellen Wagner say that Georgia O'Keeffe has been treated as a myth. Their documentary Georgia O'Keeffe: the Brightness of Light brings her to life in all of her complexities. Later in the show: Do you ever find yourself humming a favorite nursery rhyme to yourself or recalling a fairy tale to get through a tough time? Margaret Meehan says there's a more sinister side to the classics. She remixes and explores those stories in her ceramic work to ask who were we taught to fear? To respect? How were we taught to be? And: Along the Roanoke River Greenway, cardinals, songsparrows and American redstarts are chirping their late Spring tune. Through her watercolor wildlife portraits, Lucinda Rowe captures the spectacular mundane of the local ecosystem.

In the finale of Lecture 6, we wrap up the reflections on Re-Imagining the Caribbean - Understanding the Caribbean – Beyond the Myths and Into the Margins:...We pick up from Point 33. DIASPORAS AND DISPLACEMENT• African Diaspora: peoples of African descent living outside Africa.• Caribbean Diaspora: particularly Caribbean people of African descent scattered across the globe.• These diasporas still carry the black position and face discrimination, suspicion, and containment.“They are aliens with sharp teeth—feared not for their failure but for their potential.”________________________________________4. DARK GHETTOES & INTERNALIZED MALADY• Kenneth Clark's “Dark Ghettos”:o Exist physically and psychologically.o Not just urban slums but socio-economic prisons.o Seen in Philly, Kingston, Port of Spain—spaces where people are victims of fear, guilt, and greed.o Structural conditions: overcrowding, poverty, crime.o Psychological toll: despair, self-hate, compensatory bravado.________________________________________5. POSTCOLONIALISM AND THE VEIL THAT LINGERS• Postcolonialism ≠ Post-colonyo It's not the end of colonization, but the lingering effects—economic, cultural, psychological.o Fanon: both white and Black are trapped—one in superiority, the other in inferiority.o The need for tabula rasa—to begin anew.• Revolutions and the Paradox of Independenceo Haiti and Cuba led true revolutions—but remained outside international community comfort zones.o Their struggle reflects the cost of radical freedom.________________________________________6. CENTER VS. PERIPHERY – WHOSE CULTURE MATTERS?• Homi Bhabha – “Location of Culture”:o The periphery: marginal voices, rejected traditions.o The center: dominant culture, normalized Eurocentric standards.• Rastas, Revivalists, African spirituality = periphery.• Skin lightening, accent training, rejection of roots = symptom of internalized colonialism.________________________________________HANDOUT: Tracing Caribbean History – Before Columbus• Challenge the narrative: Begin with victory, not defeat.• Explore:o Ivan Van Sertima – They Came Before Columbus.o Ancient African navigators, civilizations that predate European contact.________________________________________DISCUSSION & MEDIA:• Video Segment: Ivan Van Sertima• Handout Discussion: Follow timeline through slavery, indenture, resistance, revolution.This is Episode 6 of the Caribbean Thought Lecture Series Summer 2025 on The Neoliberal Round by Renaldo McKenzieRev.

"Solar power is just sunlight hitting your skin, because your skin is a semiconductor too." That quote from Ali Dirul of Ryter Cooperative Industries launches a Detroit is Different conversation that electrifies history and reimagines the future. In this powerful episode, Ali breaks down energy democracy, off-grid engineering, and building a sustainable Detroit from D-Town Farms to Highland Park's streetlights. "We're not just placing panels—we're placing power back in the hands of the people," he says. With stories tracing back to his grandfather's Ford Model T factory job, African-centered schooling at Aisha Shule, and a capstone project at Oakland University, Ali ties Black legacy to Black futures. This is innovation rooted in community, fueled by melanin, and structured with purpose. It's a conversation that honors how Detroit built the world—and now might just rewire it. Detroit is Different is a podcast hosted by Khary Frazier covering people adding to the culture of an American Classic city.

Independent Africa: The First Generation of Nation Builders (Indiana UP, 2023)explores Africa's political economy in the first two full decades of independence through the joint projects of nation-building, economic development, and international relations. Drawing on the political careers of four heads of states: Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana, Ahmed Sékou Touré of Guinea, Léopold Sédar Senghor, and Julius Kambarage Nyerere of Tanzania, Independent Africa engages four major themes: what does it mean to construct an African nation-state and what should an African nation-state look like; how does one grow a tropical economy emerging from European colonialism; how to explore an indigenous model of economic development, a "third way," in the context of a Cold War that had divided the world into two camps; and how to leverage internal resources and external opportunities to diversify agricultural economies and industrialize. Combining aspects of history, economics, and political science, Independent Africa examines the important connections between the first generation of African leaders and the shared ideas that informed their endeavors at nation-building and worldmaking.

Genetic testing has had some ups and downs over the past few years, with wide swaths of data sets setting a precedent for potential individualized healthcare. But, oftentimes, that data misrepresents African-descended individuals and doesn't paint the whole picture. Population geneticist Dr. Janina Jeff Ringo joins host Dr. Samantha Yammine to discuss what we can learn from genetic testing, and the gaps that sociologists are trying to fill in. Sam also explores a fascinating new study that claims to have nailed down the perfect cacio e pepe recipe and a potential solution to the growing strain on global rice yields.

Every year, billions of these nocturnal moths travel up to 1,000 km to cool caves in the Australian Alps, despite having never been there before.

By combining climate modelling with data from archaeological sites across the African continent, researchers put forward evidence that 70,000 years ago, humans expanded the ecosystems they lived in to include diverse habitat types from forests to deserts. The authors suggest this ability to live in different places may have helped the later humans that migrated out of the continent around 50,000 years ago.Research article: Hallet et al.21:59 Briefing ChatBlowing bubble-rings could be humpback whales' way of trying to communicate with humans, and the research suggesting that everyone's breathing pattern is unique.Science Alert: Humpback Whale Bubble Rings May Be an Attempt to Communicate With UsNature: How you breathe is like a fingerprint that can identify youSubscribe to Nature Briefing, an unmissable daily round-up of science news, opinion and analysis free in your inbox every weekday.

In the latest episode of the collaboration between Yale's Economic Growth Center and VoxDev, host Catherine Cheney discusses one of Africa's most persistent development challenges: the low productivity of smallholder farmers. Despite decades of investment, innovation, and policy reform, yields on African small farms remain significantly below those in high-income countries. While the limitations of smallholder models, that doesn't mean that the problem is easy to solve, not least because the way that land is owned my make consolidation impossible. The result: fewer opportunities for structural transformation and rural development. Catherine is joined by Gérardine Mukeshimana, former Minister of Agriculture in Rwanda, Christopher Udry of Northwestern University and Mark Rosenzweig of Yale University.

2024 is ending with Intensifying nationalist and populist movements capturing more electorates and elected officials in key countries around the world. In the US, the Republican Party is no exception, its intensifying battles between oligarchs and policymakers enabled by white nationalism previewing what is in store for the general US population in 2025. Meanwhile, the global social structure moves inexorably toward an increasingly multipolar world system. While specifics will no doubt hold some surprises, what will remain the same in many countries is a fight over resources and policy making based on racial and class-based logics. The more things change in this deteriorating world system, the more these essential fights will reveal themselves to be the same.Meanwhile, local governance formations across the world continue to search for different and better ways of building community and resisting systemic human oppression. The center of racial oppression logics continues to deteriorate ”in the wake.” Several recent applications of Science and Technology in the form of museum exhibits evoke the potential to reveal enduring Ways of Knowing through acts of Cultural Meaning-Making that focus our attention on unbroken acts of Movement and Memory in service of answering the question, “How do it free Us?” The 250th session of In Class With Carr uses points of entry from two of these exhibits—“Flight into Egypt” at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art and “In Slavery's Wake” at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture—to reflect on key lessons learned in our efforts to harness the momentum of African memory as a tool for achieving and maintaining liberation as we enter our fifth year of collective work. Are these exhibits concessions, embraces or merely a shuffling of modalities without displacing hierarchies of Black institutional subordination? Does not whiteness remain “in charge,” now performing “inclusion” while the lives of those who resist it remain unchanged except when they achieve their own acts of Kujichagulia, of self-determination? If the answer is yes, then these exhibits at best may suggest fruitful directions for that specific work. If that, wha,t if anything, will change as a result of their mounting? Can anything? Can artistic imaginings, displays, change ourselves, change the world? Or the more things change will they remain the same?JOIN KNARRATIVE: https://www.knarrative.com it's the only way to get into #Knubia, where these classes areheld live with a live chat.To shop Go to:TheGlobalMajorityMore from us:Knarrative Twitter: https://twitter.com/knarrative_Knarrative Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/knarrative/In Class with Carr Twitter: https://twitter.com/inclasswithcarrSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Trump Administration is looking to add to its travel ban list and additional thirty-six countries which include twenty-five African nations as well as major U.S. partners Egypt and Djibouti. We discuss the major implications that adding U.S. partners to a travel ban might lead to and how they came to the decision on these countries.

Episode overview: Guidione Machava has a confession: he's tired of being called an "African designer." The Mozambican product designer, now based in France and fresh from stints at Shopify and Paris-based 23point5, reckons that geographic qualifiers automatically strip away a third of your professional value before you've even started. It's a provocative stance from someone who's built his career bridging African markets and global tech giants. Since launching- MozDevz - Mozambique's largest developer community - over a decade ago, Machava has been methodically executing what he calls his "Maria Sharapova strategy": a systematic approach to becoming world-class that he lifted from a Tim Ferriss podcast. The strategy worked. From building communities across six African countries to creating a business directory that attracted 300,000 SMEs, to founding Kabum Digital (Mozambique's leading tech publication), Machava has consistently punched above his weight class. His secret? "Piggybacking" on successful people and refusing to let his environment dictate his ambitions. Andile Masuku probes Machava on the realities of designing for African versus Western markets, why physical product development taught him to appreciate software's forgiving nature, and his mission to prove that world-class design talent can emerge from anywhere, provided you're strategic about how you position it. Key insights: - On strategic positioning: Despite building African communities and solving African problems, Machava deliberately brands himself as a "world-class designer" rather than a "world-class African designer." His reasoning? International clients and collaborators unconsciously devalue geography-qualified talent, even when they won't admit it. - On market realities: Designing for Western markets versus African markets isn't just about different user needs, it's about fundamentally different quality bars. "In Africa, designing a product that works well is a plus. In France, it's the bare minimum," he observes. - On the intersection economy: His time at 23.5—building design tools for made-to-order, sustainable fashion—taught him that the intersection of digital and physical economies is where the hardest, most rewarding innovation happens. Unlike software, physical products offer no "rollback to previous version" option. - On manufactured serendipity: Rather than waiting for opportunities, Machava systematically identified people in positions he wanted to occupy, then found ways to provide value to them. The approach landed him interviews with executives from IDEO, Google, and Facebook for his World Class Designer podcast. Notable moments: 1. How a Tim Ferriss interview with tennis champion Maria Sharapova became Machava's career template for achieving world-class performance in design 2. Why Shopify's hierarchy of priorities—solve merchants' problems first, make money second, never reverse that order—fundamentally changed how he approaches product design 3. The brutal economics lesson he learned at 23point5: physical product margins are tiny, error tolerance is minimal, and mistakes literally end up in landfills 4. His unconventional path from economics degree to postgraduate design studies, convincing Open Window Institute for Creative Arts & Technologies to let him skip three years of undergraduate work The contrarian take: Machava's most provocative insight centres on geographic positioning. Whilst celebrating African innovation has become fashionable, he argues that leading with continental identity in global markets is a strategic error. "If you say just 'world-class designer,' it's a completely different perspective," he notes, drawing from conversations with international colleagues who've confirmed his suspicions about unconscious bias.

Interview with Jeff Quartermaine, Managing Director & CEO of Perseus Mining Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/perseus-mining-asxpru-gold-producers-800m-cash-new-production-coming-7050Recording date: 11th June 2025Perseus Mining Limited (ASX: PRU) has released comprehensive five-year guidance targeting 2.5 million ounces of gold production at all-in sustaining costs of $1,400-1,500 per ounce, with an impressive 93% of production backed by JORC-compliant reserves rather than speculative resources. The Australian-listed company, which operates exclusively across African gold mining jurisdictions, aims to address persistent market misconceptions about its asset quality and longevity.CEO Jeff Quartermaine attributes the company's undervaluation to two primary factors: an "African discount" applied by investors wary of continental operations, and incorrect market perceptions about short mine lives. The reality demonstrates Perseus's exceptional ability to extend operational lifespans - the Edikan mine has been extended from its original nine-year life in 2011 to 2031, while Sissingué has grown from 4.5 years in 2018 to the same 2031 timeline.Perseus differentiates itself through a cash-focused strategy rather than chasing production volumes. "What we do at Perseus is that the goal for us is to maximise cash production," Quartermaine explained. With $801 million in cash reserves and daily production of 1,300-1,400 ounces at approximately $1,200 per ounce, the company generates substantial operating cash flow.The growth trajectory includes the Nyanzaga project in Tanzania, Perseus's fourth operation requiring $520 million in capital expenditure and targeting first gold production in January 2027. The company employs sophisticated risk management through zero-cost collar hedging, providing downside protection at $2,600 per ounce while maintaining upside exposure to $4,600 per ounce.Perseus has committed to organic greenfield exploration for the first time, representing a 10-year investment horizon enabled by improved financial positioning. The company's exclusive African focus, combined with proven operational excellence and strategic cash generation, positions it to capitalise on the continent's mining renaissance while many Western competitors have retreated from these markets.View Perseus Mining's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/perseus-miningSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

In THE GILDED AGE's 3rd season, the HBO series created by Julian Fellowes (DOWNTON ABBEY), audiences are introduced to the Kirklands of Newport, Rhode Island, a family with deep roots in Newport's African heritage community with the professional and educational pedigrees to match. CONTENT NOTES: This podcast is being released prior to the June 22nd premiere of THE GILDED AGE's 3rd season. There may be a few spoilers in the conversation. The word "colored" comes up in its historical content and context. The word “colored” was used in the U.S. to refer to people of African descent during the mid to late 19th century. African Americans embraced "colored" as a self-identifying term during that time, followed by "Negro" (historical content and context).------0:16 - Introduction to the podcast and THE GILDED AGE season 31:17 - GILDED AGE Season 3 Black Newport storyline2:44 - Rhode Island's Black Heritage Society, Theresa Soni Guzmán Stokes and Keith W.

This week we will use the origin story of Philadelphia Freedom Schools to revisit the essential components of an African education: The intergenerational transmission of knowledge, values and wisdom; the development of character, social responsibility and accountability; and the training of next and future generations to assume roles currently held by elders. By re-membering from the deep well of African thought and practice, can “Blackness,” a concept invented as a tool of oppression, be recrafted beyond a strategy for resistance to become a space for social perfectibility?JOIN KNARRATIVE: https://www.knarrative.com it's the only way to get into #Knubia, where these classes areheld live with a live chat.To shop Go to:TheGlobalMajorityMore from us:Knarrative Twitter: https://twitter.com/knarrative_Knarrative Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/knarrative/In Class with Carr Twitter: https://twitter.com/inclasswithcarrSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Patrick spent a few days in Los Angeles at this year's Summer Game Fest, and in-between equal parts beer and coffee, he found time to chat with a bunch of game developers at the show about their games (and fascism). First up, we've got interviews with the developers behind Sword of the Sea (the new game from the developers of The Pathless), Morsels (an intriguing roguelike from Annapurna), Relooted (a heist game about taking back stolen African artifacts), and Grave Seasons (a fascinating and hilarious mashup of horror and cozy farm sims).Discussed: Sword of the Sea 6:52, Morsels 29:04, Relooted 43:15, Grave Seasons 58:37 See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
