Climate anxieties—and global temperatures—are on the rise. According to the United Nations, if the planet warms by 1.5 degrees Celsius, we'll be facing irreversible climate damage. To stop that increase, we need to reach net zero emissions by 2050. Reaching such an ambitious goal means changing a lot of our behaviors, including cutting back on our use of fossil fuels. But should everyone, and every nation, be held to the same standard? Is it realistic to ask countries in the global south to shoulder equal responsibility for cutting carbon emissions? Dr. Rahul Tongia, Senior Fellow at the Centre for Social and Economic Progress (CSEP) in New Delhi and non-resident Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution, concedes that while we must be more innovative and aggressive when it comes to the development of green technology, it's unrealistic to cut out fossil fuels entirely. He adds that we need to decouple the idea of “access” from “clean,” and make sure there is electrical wiring in every home across the globe before we focus on going green.  Zaki Mamdoo, South African environmental activist and coordinator of the StopEACOP (Stop East African Crude Oil Pipeline) campaign, says that it is entirely unnecessary to harm the environment in order to increase energy access. He says fossil fuels are actually anti-development, in that they not only pollute the air, land, water and livestock, but they destroy local economies, desecrate cultural sites and ruin labor systems and communities. He argues that all nations must refrain from new fossil-fuel use, leapfrog towards more renewable energy resources like wind and solar and embrace a just transition to a low-carbon economy.  Listen to these experts discuss and dissect the best pathways to a greener world on this episode of Doha Debates Podcast. This special episode is inspired by Necessary Tomorrows, a podcast from Doha Debates and presented by Al Jazeera that combines fiction and fact to imagine better futures. To dig deeper into the core issues of environmentalism and the ethics of energy use and development, check out the episode “The Last Impala.” Listeners are thrust into a world in the near future where a climate refugee is on trial for murder—not for killing a human, but for killing an ecosystem.

Dozens of countries have implemented race-based policies, which factor race into hiring decisions or school admissions, in an effort to address historical traumas. Critics say that affirmative action and similar policies are counterproductive. Is it time to consider color-blind policies instead? Thandiwe Ntshinga, South African author and researcher, says it's important to have policies that address the inequalities historically marginalized groups face in today's world. She argues that the backlash to these policies is a result of white supremacy and a fear of losing power. Magatte Wade, Senegalese entrepreneur and prosperity activist, says that race-based policies tend to backfire and, in fact, produce more negative than positive outcomes. She argues that it's more important to focus on the future rather than the past by prioritizing merit and economic prosperity. Listen to Doha Debates Podcast as they debate how parts of Africa are addressing race-based policies and the best way to combat racism.  Doha Debates Podcast is a production of Doha Debates and FP Studios.

What does a shift in the balance of power mean for the world? For much of the last 100 years, Western countries have dominated the global order. But now, with many nations vying for power, new regional partnerships and middle powers are on the rise. Economically, strategic alliances like BRICS are bolstering the influence of non-Western countries. And in a world that's more digitally connected than ever, the global rise of pop culture heavyweights like Bollywood, dizi and K-pop means there's more soft power in the hands of countries outside the historical superpowers. At the same time, conflict is on the rise globally. Last year, the UN said there were more ongoing conflicts than at any point since World War II. Now, more than ever, it's crucial to think about who should lead.  Students, recent graduates and expert speakers—Jon B. Alterman, Sawsan Chebli and Wadah Khanfar—come together for this Doha Debates town hall event that breaks down today's most urgent issues, examines the impact of shifting global powers and answers the question: Who should lead in a multipolar world? This town hall was moderated by journalist Femi Oke and produced in partnership with Doha Forum. 

The business of space is booming: Humans are leaving Earth's atmosphere to mine for precious minerals that could bring trillions of dollars in profit. But with only a handful of laws currently regulating the final frontier, will space mining deepen existing global inequalities or could it save humanity?  Alice Gorman, space archaeologist, says space is for all humanity, but right now space mining isn't focused on sustainability or moral responsibility. She argues that greater government oversight is necessary before we commercialize space. Jose Acain, co-founder of asteroid mining company AstroForge, says space mining is necessary to sustain Earth's supply issues. He argues that government regulation is needed in regards to space ownership, but worries that too much regulation will stifle potential advancements. Listen to Doha Debates Podcast as these experts discuss the best way to explore space, mitigate mining risks and build a better future.  This special episode is inspired by Necessary Tomorrows, a podcast from Doha Debates and presented by Al Jazeera that combines fiction and fact to imagine better futures. To dig deeper into the core issues and ethics of space exploration and cultivation, check out episode three of Necessary Tomorrows, “A Feast for Cobalt.” Listeners are thrust into the near future, where an asteroid is discovered with enough minerals for Earth to run entirely on green energy.

It can write emails, essays and even songs. It has created award-winning pieces of art, and it can take simple text prompts and generate eerily life-like videos. That's right—we're talking about artificial intelligence. Generative AI programs such as ChatGPT, Sora and Midjourney are getting smarter and more powerful by the day—just this week, Nvidia, one of the world's leading AI companies, announced a powerful new chip that could supercharge AI's already rapid growth. This technology is already worrying artists of all kinds about the future of art. Is AI coming for artists' jobs and livelihood, or is it a helpful tool pushing art to a new horizon? Jason Allen used generative AI to create his work “Théâtre d'Opéra Spatial,” which won the Colorado State Fair's annual fine art competition in 2022, making news headlines. He says artists should be excited and more open to working with AI as a new artistic medium that can help break down barriers and democratize art for everyone. On the other side, Molly Crabapple, award-winning artist and writer, says artists—and everyone—should be concerned about generative AI, arguing that these programs are not only stealing from, but “sucking the lifeblood,” from living artists. Additionally, she contends that the limited creativity of AI art programs will ultimately impoverish human culture. Listen to Doha Debates Podcast as our guests debate the controversy surrounding AI art, the economics of artificial intelligence and the future of art around the world.

Globally, 650 million people meet the threshold for obesity. With those numbers on the rise, we ask: Is obesity a matter of individual choice, or is it rooted in larger systemic problems? Greg Doucette, a bodybuilder and health coach, says that obesity is a choice, and argues that everyone can lose weight if they follow a healthy diet and exercise regimen. While he concedes that genetic and environmental factors should not be ignored, he maintains that it can be discouraging and ultimately disempowering to say that managing our weight is beyond our own personal control. Professor Monika Arora, a public health scientist, argues that obesity is a systemic issue. She cites many outside factors—economic, environmental and even political—that have given rise to obesity rates across the globe. As a result, she argues that addressing obesity—and related health problems like high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes—requires policy solutions like sugar taxes as well as community health campaigns to bring about healthy societal change.

This week, we're airing one of our favorite past episodes. This debate is spirited, informative and centered on a question that remains intensely relevant: Is it time to ban gasoline-powered vehicles?  Climate activist and author Aakash Ranison says that while electric vehicles may not be a silver-bullet solution to climate change, they are an important and urgent step in the right direction. On the other side, journalist Jonathan Miltimore argues that there are actually lots of drawbacks and hidden costs to producing electric cars. Gas-powered vehicles, he says, are simply too important—to our individual lives and to the health of our economies—to ban outright, arguing that we should instead focus our time and efforts on other ways of combating climate change. Listen to Doha Debates Podcast as they debate the efficiency, affordability and viability of eliminating gas-powered vehicles, and what the future of climate change might hold.

Let's face it. Artificial intelligence is everywhere around us—on our phones, in our homes, in our cars and in our schools. But that doesn't mean that we all have equal access to the best and most helpful learning technologies. As AI continues to develop and get smarter, how can we ensure universal access to these educational technologies so that all students can benefit?  Nadeem Nathoo, co-founder of The Knowledge Society, argues that the private sector would be the most effective at getting cutting-edge AI technologies into the hands of students, saying that a direct-to-user approach is the most realistic and reliable. Isabelle Hau, executive director of the Stanford Accelerator for Learning, says it's imperative for educators to be involved in the development and dissemination of artificial intelligence in schools. She argues that while AI in classrooms can be a great equalizer, without proper oversight, there's a risk that AI could deepen inequalities between students. Louka Parry, CEO and founder of The Learning Future, says we must look at education and learning more holistically. While he agrees that AI presents a lot of opportunity for learners across the world, he reminds us that an important part of learning is cultivating curiosity in a social setting and that AI tools could potentially isolate students and deepen intellectual divides. Listen to the Doha Debates Podcast as these three education experts debate the best ways to incorporate and leverage AI in the classroom. Doha Debates Podcast is a production of Doha Debates.

Do you live to work, or work to live? The World Happiness Report says that factors such as social support, economic security and work-life balance all contribute to life satisfaction and overall fulfillment. But checking all those boxes is easier said than done. Can we work hard toward our professional goals without sacrificing other parts of our lives? Jennifer Moss, a speaker and strategist on work-life balance whose latest book tackles employee burnout,  says it's paramount for our happiness and health that we don't overwork ourselves. She says that instead, we should focus on striking a balance in our lives. While she agrees that deriving fulfillment from work can be rewarding, she argues that hustle culture can be a slippery slope to burnout. Chris Guillebeau, author, entrepreneur and host of the podcast Side Hustle School, says that work-life balance is a conspiracy made up by corporations to monopolize our time and energy. Instead, he argues that to achieve happiness in the long term, people should work hard to pursue projects they really care about, even if it's sometimes at the expense of other parts of our lives. Listen to the Doha Debates Podcast as these two experts debate the merits of hustle culture and explore the best ways to find happiness in and outside the workplace.

Since its inception in 1945, the United Nations has committed to preventing world wars. However, recent and devastating conflicts, like the wars in Gaza, Ukraine and elsewhere, have brought the UN's shortcomings on this front into high relief. Is the United Nations capable of preventing war and keeping the peace, or is the institution too antiquated to resolve modern conflicts? Anjali K. Dayal, political scientist at Fordham University, argues that the UN is in need of a major structural overhaul. She says that the UN is operating exactly as it was designed to, with the UN's systematic flaws helping nations like the United States and Russia retain their power and protect their interests. Natalie Samarasinghe, global advocacy director of the Open Society Foundation, concedes that while the UN isn't perfect, the organization remains a vital and irreplaceable lifeline for people in conflict zones around the world. Moreover, she says that the UN cannot and should not be all things to all people—instead, we must focus on and invest in the parts of the UN that do work. Listen to the Doha Debates Podcast as these experts debate the best paths toward peace, the future of the UN, the rising role of youth on the global stage and how we should hold the UN to account.

How much influence can a 19th century European art movement really have on the modern Arab world? Orientalism, an aesthetic movement depicting the East by Western artists, was for some the only exposure to Middle Eastern and Asian cultures. Some, like Palestinian American scholar Edward Said, said that Orientalism pervades Western art, pop culture and journalism even today, revealing the same stereotypes of Arab cultures that were popularized some 200 years ago. Others argue that its influence—and even those stereotypes—requires a more nuanced interpretation. From the roots of Orientalism to the role of museums in displaying Orientalist art, join students, recent graduates and speakers—curator Kholood Al-Fahad, author Fatima Bhutto and journalist Inaya Folarin Iman—as they deconstruct Orientalist narratives, the value of inclusion and the lasting impact of art.  This Doha Debates town hall was moderated by Dena Takruri, senior presenter and producer with AJ+, and produced in partnership with VCUArts Qatar and Lusail Museum.

Generative AI has changed the way that some students approach their schoolwork. What does it mean for the state of education when students can ask ChatGPT to write an essay or solve a math problem? Artificial intelligence is causing parents to worry, and governments are struggling to keep up with this rapidly advancing technology. Are there beneficial uses of AI in classrooms, or will it do more harm than good? Sal Khan, founder of Khan Academy, says AI should be used as a support tool for teachers and students, saying that it can help students learn how to ask the right questions and provide personalized attention to supplement their traditional education. Khan Academy's own AI tool, Khanmigo, was developed as a tutor that teaches problem solving instead of giving students the answers. On the other hand, Jacob Ward, author and science journalist, says that there are broader issues of economics at play. He argues that AI is often used for efficiency and cost cutting, making classrooms more bureaucratic and students less interested and equipped to learn. He also says it's not yet clear if AI will help level the playing field in underdeveloped countries and communities or if unequal technological progress will create more imbalance.

Facial recognition software. CCTV cameras. License plate readers. Wiretapping. These are all ways that governments employ mass surveillance. Supporters of surveillance technology say these tools are necessary to keep everyone safe. But opponents raise concerns over privacy and human rights abuses. Where do we draw the line? How do we balance individual privacy and collective safety?  Cindy Cohn, executive director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, says our privacy rights are being violated. She cites mass surveillance as yet another example of government overreach and says that it disproportionately targets vulnerable populations, especially people of color. Jamil Jaffer, executive director of the National Security Institute, says that the great majority of people have nothing to worry about, as just a relative few individuals end up on government watch lists. He argues that government surveillance is crucial to our safety and that, at least in the United States, it is much more targeted than people may realize. Listen to the Doha Debates Podcast as these two experts debate liberty, safety, consent and the limits of the law and anonymity in a world with mass surveillance.  Doha Debates Podcast is a production of Doha Debates and FP Studios.

If you could prevent your future child from having a life-threatening disease, would you do it? What if you could prevent addictions or the development of bad habits before they were even born? What if you could genetically engineer your child to be taller, or if you could select their eye color or even their sex? How much of this would you be OK with—and which of these things give you “the ick”?  Joyce Harper, professor of reproductive science at University College London, says genetic engineering is a slippery slope that raises a lot of moral and ethical questions. She argues that just because we can do these things, doesn't mean that we necessarily should. She says that gene editing could deepen class and cultural divides, especially if only the wealthy few can access and afford the technology. Sarah Chan, chancellor's fellow in ethics at University of Edinburgh, agrees that while there is some risk with genetic engineering, there are also risks if we don't pursue it. She argues that gene editing has the power to create a more just and healthy society. Listen to the Doha Debates Podcast as they debate the promises and pitfalls of genetic engineering—is this technology our future, or should it remain science fiction?

Has the US peaked? For much of the 20th century, the United States of America led the world economically, militarily and even culturally. But is its influence and power now in decline, and what would that mean for the rest of the world? Lavina Lee, senior lecturer at Macquarie University in Australia, says that the US still has an important and powerful global role, despite the recent growth of other superpowers like China. Richard Heydarian, senior lecturer at University of the Philippines, says we're already on a path to a post-American world, and that the US relies on its relationships with other countries as much as they rely on the US.

Hey there I Spy listeners. Here at Foreign Policy, we're dropping season 3 of our podcast, The Negotiators. On each episode, one former diplomat or troubleshooter tells the story of one dramatic negotiation. If the tagline sounds familiar, that's by design. We think of The Negotiators as the sister show of I Spy. We're actually inserting the season 2 finale of The Negotiators into this feed because it's especially I Spy like. It's about a Texas rabbi who is taken hostage at his own synagogue—and ends up negotiating with his captor. Like the episodes of I Spy, this one is non-narrated. You'll hear our host, Jenn Williams, introduce the story, followed by nothing but rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker. The show is a collaboration between Doha Debates and Foreign Policy. If you want to listen to season 3, find The Negotiators in your favorite podcast app. The first episode of the new season focuses on one of the most famous diplomatic negotiations ever: The Good Friday Agreement that ended decades of violence in Northern Ireland.  Meantime—we're working on more episodes of I Spy, so keep watching this space.

Ken ventured out into the “real world” from Barbieland and returned with a new definition of masculinity. Andrew Tate's influence on teen boys has amplified conversations about the “manosphere.” People around the world are eager for new rules for being a man—why? Men are struggling. That's what Richard Reeves, president of the American Institute for Boys and Men, contends, pointing to the widespread mental health crisis men and boys are facing in developed countries, as suicide rates rise. Meanwhile, higher education enrollment for men is lower than ever, and historically male-dominated jobs like manufacturing and farming are disappearing. Reeves says we must acknowledge these problems in order to solve them, but maintains that helping men does not and should not come at the expense of women. Dr. Barbara Risman, editor in chief of "Gender & Society," says that we're not grappling with a crisis of masculinity, but rather a socio-economic crisis that's hurting working-class women and men—especially men of color. To fix this, she says we must create more economic support for these men, be it in jobs or education, and update our ideas of traditional gender roles. Listen to the Doha Debates Podcast as our guests debate what the future of masculinity should look like and how to help men and boys without getting trapped in the manosphere.  Doha Debates Podcast is a production of Doha Debates and FP Studios.

Do you think it's OK to sacrifice a mouse's life to cure a disease? What if it were a monkey? A cow? Or a dog? For a long time, research on animals has been a crucial component of scientific and medical innovation. Testing on animals has led to the development of the world's first vaccine. And drugs used to combat cancer, malaria and HIV/AIDS and many other illnesses would not have been possible without animal research. But today, with all of our technological advancements, is animal testing necessary—or unnecessarily cruel?  Dr. Katherine Roe, Chief of the Science Advancement and Outreach division at PETA, argues that not only is animal testing cruel, but she contends that the significant species differences between humans and other animals limit the usefulness of animal research. Instead, Dr. Roe says that we should be investing more time and money into alternatives to animal testing, like computer modeling, non-invasive diagnostic imaging, stem cell research, and more human-centric clinical research. On the other side is Dr. Juan Carlos G. Marvizón, a retired UCLA neuroscientist who spent his career researching the causes and cures of chronic pain. He argues that animals are a valuable—and for now, irreplaceable—part of the scientific process and says that animal research not only helps save lives and lead to huge scientific breakthroughs—like the rapid development of the COVID-19 vaccine—but it also helps us better understand humanity and the world. Listen to the Doha Debates Podcast as these two scientists debate the ethics of animal testing.  Doha Debates Podcast is a production of Doha Debates and FP Studios.

Is it time to cancel the debts of low-income countries in the global south? It's estimated that three out of five low-income countries are struggling to pay their debts. In Africa, 21 countries are either bankrupt or in financial distress, and are on the hook to repay more than $70 billion in 2023 alone. Freeing up this money could help these countries get back on their feet and invest more at home—but it's not without its drawbacks. Heidi Chow, executive director of the UK-based nonprofit Debt Justice, says debt relief is needed. She argues that debt payments shouldn't come before essential human needs, and that rather than tightening the screws on indebted countries, we should address the predatory lending practices that have pushed many global south countries to the brink of collapse. Bright Simons, policy analyst at the Ghana-based Imani Center for Policy and Education, contends that blanket debt cancellation doesn't benefit anybody, saying that some countries have successfully paid back their debts while others have spent recklessly. And, he argues, domestic lenders and private investors shouldn't have to pay the price for governments' poor financial decisions. Listen to the Doha Debates Podcast as they debate how to best address Africa's debt crisis.  Doha Debates Podcast is a production of Doha Debates and FP Studios.

Is it time to ban gasoline-powered vehicles?  Climate activist and author Aakash Ranison says that while electric vehicles may not be a silver-bullet solution to climate change, they are an important and urgent step in the right direction. On the other side, journalist Jonathan Miltimore argues that there are actually lots of drawbacks and hidden costs to producing electric cars. Gas-powered vehicles, he says, are simply too important—to our individual lives and to the health of our economies—to ban outright, arguing that we should instead focus our time and efforts on other ways of combating climate change. Listen to the Doha Debates Podcast as they debate the efficiency, affordability and viability of eliminating gas-powered vehicles, and what the future of climate change might hold..

Are some sports too violent for children? Kids and teens who play full- or high-contact sports like rugby, American football and mixed martial arts have higher rates of concussions, which can lead to traumatic brain injuries. On the flip side, there are also huge benefits to playing sports when you're young, including community and confidence.  Dr. Bennet Omalu, a pioneer in understanding chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), says that children should not be allowed to play certain sports, and argues instead that we should invent new, safer sports for kids. Babalwa Latsha, Africa's first female professional rugby player, contends that existing sports can and should be modified to be safer for children, and holds that participating in sports is a great way to learn valuable life skills. Listen to the Doha Debates Podcast as they discuss the different possibilities for children and sports.  Doha Debates Podcast is a production of Doha Debates and FP Studios.

Tonight, we're sitting down to dinner with Florence Pouya for Indian food at Gupshup. Florence is a 17-year-old women's rights activist, student, and captain of the Afghanistan National Robotics Team. She grew up in Herat, Afghanistan, until the Taliban returned to power in 2021 and Florence and her robotics teammates evacuated their home country for Qatar. She has worked in robotics for six years and participated in many international competitions (FIRST Global Challenge, FIRST Tech Challenge, PCBe TheChange), Conferences (United Nations, UNAMA, UNICEF), & exhibitions (Doha Forum, Doha Debates). Forbes magazine chose her as one of the 30 under 30 scientists by Forbes and VOGUE named Florence as one of the 21 under 21 change makers. She is now spending the summer in New York City and preparing to study aerospace engineering at Iowa State University in the fall.  Florence and Alexa talk about what we all lose out on when girls and women don't have access to education, what Florence misses about big family dinners, and how the diversity of New York city makes her feel right at home. Plus, her dreams of becoming an astronaut and seeing earth from space. Florence Pouya: IG @FlorencePouya TW @FlorencePouya Gupshup: @Gupshupnyc Over Dinner Tonight: @overdinnertonight

About 1.5 billion people in the world eat a plant-based diet. For most of them, it's a necessity, because meat is either too expensive or unavailable. But about 75 million people choose to go vegetarian for reasons like animal welfare and personal health. Some meat-eaters counter that humans have evolved to eat meat, and that animals can be raised and slaughtered humanely. Doha Debates asks: Is choosing to eat meat is an act of cruelty, and what do humans and animals stand to gain or lose from continuing the practice? To debate this, we are joined by food blogger and meat-eater Humzah Ghauri, and Ghanaian musician and proud vegan Okyeame Kwame.

Who does art belong to? Where should it live? And how can—or should—it be shared with the world? These are some of the questions at the heart of this week's debate. Recently, museums like the Smithsonian in the US and the Horniman Museum and Gardens in the UK have made headlines by returning stolen and disputed artifacts to Nigeria, the country they were taken from centuries ago. Should more museums be doing this? And if so, what should that repatriation look like? Chidi Nwaubani, founder of digital art repatriation site Looty, says much of the damage is done and that we should focus on decolonizing our future. He proposes using technology like NFTs to digitally loot the stolen artwork and restore ownership. Tristram Hunt, director of the Victoria and Albert Museum in the UK, debates that artifacts in museums are valuable tools of education and cultural diffusion. Rather than returning all disputed artifacts, he says that we should find a more equitable way to house art in museums in both the global north and global south. Sofia Carreira-Wham, a curator and art advisor, says we must look beyond the museum walls and find meaningful ways to restore wider cultural benefits to the people and communities whose art has been taken from them. Listen to the Doha Debates Podcast as these guests dissect questions about ownership, reparations, colonial legacy, looting and who has the right to care for the world's treasures.

Video games are built on creative storytelling and intricate worldbuilding, but what happens when the violence depicted in video games starts to spill over into the real world? Researchers at Dartmouth University have found a link between violence in video games and increased physical aggression in teens and preteens. Game designer Bahiyya Khan says that while violence can be important to video game storytelling, game makers must create responsibly and provide context for players. On the other side, political journalist Josh Ferme argues that video games are art—like books and music—which should never be censored. Listen to the Doha Debates Podcast as they discuss virtual violence, real-life repercussions and the future of video games. Doha Debates podcast is a production of Doha Debates and FP Studios.

Segunda-feira, 03 de abril de 2023. Eu sou Leo Lopes e está no ar o nono episódio do Castnews, o podcast semanal de notícias para podcasters. Aqui você ouve, toda segunda-feira pela manhã, um resumo das principais notícias sobre o mercado de podcast no Brasil e no mundo. O primeiro podcast totalmente produzido por Inteligência Artificial, um resumo do Podfest Global 2023, atualizações importantes da plataforma Riverside e a chegada do Spotify Audio Ads ao Brasil estão entre as principais notícias que você vai ouvir nesta edição do Castnews! Notícias 01 – A gente começa a edição desta semana noticiando que o que parecia uma possibilidade para um futuro próximo se tornou realidade: um podcast produzido 100% por inteligência artificial. É isso mesmo, os robôs não sabem mais o que é limite, e a série de podcasts Synthetic Stories tá aí pra provar isso. O podcast é produzido em todas as etapas por IA's, desde a criação dos roteiros até a simulação da voz do locutor. Cada um dos episódios apresenta uma história nova, dentro de temas como ficção científica, drama e suspense, que mantém o ouvinte envolvido do início ao fim. Eu mesmo já ouvi o podcast e achei ele extremamente bem produzido, chega a dar uma estranheza de saber que foram robôs que fizeram o programa. Parece até que Love, Death & Robots e Black Mirror se encontraram na vida real… Enfim, o estúdio This Is Distorted, responsável pelo Synthetic Stories, declarou que cada escolha de produção do podcast foi feita pelas máquinas, e que a única participação humana no programa é na divulgação e nas relações públicas. O podcast já tá disponível em todas as principais plataformas de podcast, incluindo Apple Podcasts, Spotify e (é claro) o Google Podcasts. Ler a notícia completa 02 – E o Podfest Global 2023, que nós anunciamos na semana passada, chegou ao fim. Foram mais de 8 dias de painéis e rodas de conversa, desde a programação pré-evento até o encerramento oficial na última quinta-feira. E olha, foi muito conteúdo, viu? O Podfest foi aberto com o painel ‘Podcast Communities' (ou, em português, ‘Comunidades de Podcasters'), que reuniu cinco painelistas pra discutir o tema. O encontro trouxe a perspectiva dos participantes sobre como lidar com as comunidades, desde a criação até a manutenção e o engajamento dos ouvintes. Mas não foi só isso não, porque dentre uma infinidade de temas que foram abordados no evento, teve até passo-a-passo simplificado de como publicar um podcast, pela empresária e produtora Simona Constantini. Mais detalhes sobre a cobertura do evento, você encontra lá no nosso portal. Ler a notícia completa 03 – Ano passado o Spotify passou por uma situação peculiar, se você puxar na memória. Lembra que o comentarista Joe Rogan tava falando uma groselha atrás da outra no podcast dele (The Joe Rogan Experience), que é um dos maiores do Spotify? Alguns artistas criticaram a plataforma por permitir a disseminação de fake news sobre a Covid-19 e as vacinas, e alguns músicos chegaram a tirar suas músicas do Spotify. O Spotify então criou um fundo chamado Creator Equity Fund para apoiar a diversidade na música e nos podcasts. Eles destinaram 100 milhões de dólares para isso, mas no primeiro ano gastaram menos de 10% desse valor. O objetivo do fundo é ajudar criadores negros e LGBTQIAP+ nos Estados Unidos, Reino Unido e aqui no Brasil. O total que a empresa conseguiu gastar foi 10 milhões de dólares, porque depois da bagunça que ficou a estratégia de podcast deles no último ano, com partidas e demissões em massa, eles ainda não conseguiram decidir quais são os projetos mais importantes e que vão receber esse boost financeiro. Ler a notícia completa AINDA EM NOTÍCIAS DA SEMANA 04 – A gente continua falando sobre o Spotify, que acabou de lançar no Brasil o Ad Studio, uma plataforma de anúncios que permite aos empreendedores criarem anúncios e divulgar seus negócios para os mais de 500 milhões de ouvintes do Brasil e do mundo. Os anunciantes vão poder separar seus anúncios por região, demografia e interesses de forma automática e fácil. Com o lançamento da plataforma, o Spotify tá na função aí de aproximar os ouvintes de podcast com as marcas, especialmente as regionais, ou pequenas e médias empresas. Em um mercado com cerca de 38,6 milhões de usuários, que é o número médio de ouvintes aqui do Brasil, parece um investimento inteligente. Ler a notícia completa 05 – Você lembra que alguns episódios atrás, nós noticiamos que o PodX Group estava expandindo sua atuação na França, Suíça e Grã Bretanha? Pois é, eles agora anunciaram que estão adquirindo mais uma produtora, a Suomen Podcastmedia na Finlândia. Se por um lado o PodX Group não tá desacelerando nem um pouco o seu crescimento na Europa, do outro, a produtora americana NPR (sigla pra National Public Radio), anunciou a demissão de 10% dos seus funcionários e o encerramento de quatro dos seus podcasts. Entre os programas encerrados estão alguns nomes muito conhecidos, como Invisibilia, Louder Than a Riot e Rough Translation. O presidente-executivo da NPR, John Lansing, disse à imprensa que essas demissões e os encerramentos de podcasts são pra fechar uma lacuna de orçamento que ultrapassou 30 milhões de dólares. A NPR colocou como culpada por essa crise, a falta de anúncios e investidores interessados na publicidade em podcast. O que é (no mínimo!) um motivo curioso, já que a publicidade em podcasts tá crescendo mais e movimentando mais dinheiro a cada ano. Ler a notícia completa 06 – A Riverside anunciou nesta semana uma atualização, com novos recursos de edição de texto e transcrição de áudio baseada em inteligência artificial. Pra quem não sabe, a Riverside é uma ferramenta de videocall que foi projetada especialmente pra criadores de conteúdo como podcasts e videocasts, que podem gravar, editar e publicar tudo dentro da própria plataforma – e em alta qualidade. A edição por texto vai deixar a criação de conteúdo mais fácil (até porque vai dar pra pedir ajuda pro ChatGPT), e o recurso de transcrição por IA tá prometendo transcrições perfeitas em mais de 100 idiomas. Combinando gravação, transcrição, edição e compartilhamento numa interface só, a Riverside tá tornando a produção de podcasts mais acessível e mais eficiente para criadores de conteúdo em todo o mundo. Ler a notícia completa E MAIS: 07 – O fórum Doha Debates lançou seu primeiro podcast em árabe, chamado “Lana”, que fala sobre questões culturais dos dias de hoje para jovens árabes. O podcast é apresentado pela jornalista Rawaa Augé, e produzido em parceria com a empresa de podcasting Sowt. O primeiro episódio questiona se a internet é um ambiente de debate saudável. É, Lana, a gente também se questiona isso todos os dias… Se você fala ou entende árabe, o podcast Lana pode ser encontrado no site da Doha Debates e nas principais plataformas de podcast. Ler a notícia completa 08 – Você sabia que quase 60% dos internautas espanhóis consomem podcast? O portal espanhol Prodigioso Volcán lançou na última semana um relatório sobre os hábitos de escuta de podcasts na Espanha em 2022. Segundo os dados, 2022 foi o quarto ano consecutivo em que o número de ouvintes cresceu. 85,7% dos usuários que responderam à pesquisa conhecem algum podcast, e 57% deles consomem podcasts. A pesquisa também levantou quais os temas preferidos dos ouvintes, em que tipos de dispositivos elas escutam seus programas, e muito mais. Você pode conferir, na íntegra, lá no portal do Castnews.

This episode is from producer and storyteller Karen Given and originally aired on The Long Game Podcast. Tune in next week for the companion episode, "Sports, Politics and Athlete Activism."Episode: Athletes Join the Fight for Women's Rights in IranAbout this episode: At first glance, the protests in Iran might not seem like a sports story. But in the lead-up to the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, there were calls to bar Iran from the soccer tournament altogether over the government's treatment of women. Women in Iran have more rights than women in a place like Afghanistan. They have access to education. They can vote. They can be elected to Parliament. But they can't choose whether or not to wear the hijab. And until recently, they couldn't attend sporting events in person. That's how sports and women's rights came to be intertwined in Iran.The Long Game is a production of Foreign Policy and Doha Debates highlighting stories of courage and conviction on and off the field. Explore more stories in sport at GlobalSportMatters.com

Earlier this year, a British Pakistani man took several people hostage at a synagogue in Colleyville, Texas—including the congregation's rabbi, Charlie Cytron-Walker. During the 11-hour saga, FBI negotiators posted outside tried to persuade the gunman to come out quietly. Meanwhile, another kind of negotiation was happening inside the temple's walls: between the rabbi and the hostage taker.This week on our podcast The Negotiators, Rabbi Cytron-Walker describes how he tried to humanize himself and the other congregation members in order to stay alive. Cytron-Walker told his story to our show's senior producer, Laura Rosbrow-Telem. This is our last episode of the season. We'll be back soon with more negotiator stories.

The negotiations that led to the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union lasted more than four years. During that grueling process, three different prime ministers came and went in Britain, shifting positions and occasionally roiling the talks. The one constant was Michel Barnier, the European Commissioner in charge of Brexit talks. This week on our podcast The Negotiators, Barnier tells host Jenn Williams about challenges he faced in the talks, including one that couples often confront in divorce proceedings: how to dismantle the partnership and still retain a measure of goodwill.Barnier has published a diary he kept during Brexit. For his full story, we recommend reading My Secret Brexit Diary: A Glorious Illusion.The Negotiators is a partnership between Doha Debates and Foreign Policy. Hosted on Acast.

The uprising in Libya that ended Muammar Qaddafi's long reign in 2011 was supposed to provide a path to stability. Instead, the country descended into civil war, with regional powers vying for influence and resources. An election brokered by the United Nations last year was called off at the last moment and the sides to the conflict remain at an impasse.But while official negotiations have stalled, one peace group decided this past summer to bring opponents together in Norway, where they would try to find a way forward. The group, Together We Build It, has been working on peace and security issues since 2011, in part by engaging more women and young Libyans in the process. While the Norway talks were held largely behind closed doors, reporter Amira Karaoud attended the conference and interviewed the participants. Karaoud, who is originally from Tunisia, is featured in the latest episode of The Negotiators, a collaboration between Doha Debates and Foreign Policy. Hosted on Acast.

When Chileans were asked in a referendum in 2020 whether they wanted a new constitution, the response was overwhelming. The current one dated back to the rule of Augusto Pinochet, the military dictator who had stepped down more than three decades earlier. Nearly eighty percent of the population voted in favor of a negotiation that would lead to a new charter for the country.But the negotiation process—which included representatives from the left and right side of the political map, along with dozens of independents—was rocky from the start. Delegates introduced many lofty ideas but the actual give-and-take required to produce a consensus was missing. Voters rejected a draft of the new constitution in September—by a large margin.This week on our podcast, The Negotiators, we examine what went wrong, with the help of John Bartlett, a reporter based in Santiago, Chile. Bartlett covered the constitutional convention and interviewed many of the key players.The Negotiations is a collaboration between Doha Debates and Foreign Policy. Hosted on Acast.

In 2009, the last nuclear arms control treaty between the United States and Russia was about to expire. The START agreement, and others like it, had helped protect people around the globe from the possibility of a nuclear confrontation between the world's two superpowers. Barack Obama, who became president that year, was eager to get a new deal in place. On the latest episode of The Negotiators podcast, we hear from the chief U.S. envoy to the New START talks, Rose Gottemoeller, about the grueling process of negotiating that treaty—which was finally signed in 2010. Even now, as President Vladimir Putin threatens to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine, Russia continues to abide by that same New START deal. Gottemoeller was interviewed by our senior producer, Laura Rosbrow-Telem.The Negotiators is a collaboration between Doha Debates and Foreign Policy. Hosted on Acast.

Military officers in Burkina Faso seized power last month, in the country's second coup this year. In both cases, the main justification was leadership's failure to curb violence from groups linked to the Islamic State and Al-Qaeda. The insurgency has killed tens of thousands of people and displaced about 10 percent of the population.This week on our podcast, The Negotiators, we tell the story of one community leader in Burkina Faso who set out to negotiate with the insurgents so that members of his community can return to their homes. His story might be familiar to people who follow conflicts in other areas—including Afghanistan—where, in the absence of a broader peace process, people at the local level engage in their own small-scale diplomacy. Journalist Sam Mednick, who covered these community-led negotiations in Burkina Faso for The New Humanitarian, reports this episode with us.The Negotiators is a partnership between Doha Debates and Foreign Policy.

Welcome back to The Negotiators, the podcast that brings you stories from mediators, troubleshooters, and negotiators around the world. The show is a collaboration between Doha Debates and Foreign Policy, hosted by FP Deputy Editor Jenn Williams.We begin our second season with a dramatic prisoner negotiation. Danny Fenster is an American journalist who covered the coup in Myanmar in 2021. Months later, while trying to leave the country for a visit with his family in the United States, he was arrested at the airport in Yangon and eventually charged with sedition. He was sentenced to 11 years in prison.In this two-part story, we hear from Mickey Bergman, who helped negotiate Fenster's release. Bergman is the vice president and executive director of the Richardson Center for Global Engagement, a charitable organization that helps Americans who are wrongfully imprisoned around the world. On the show, he describes the grueling process of making the right connections in Myanmar and negotiating the deal—at times over the objections of the U.S. State Department.This isn't Bergman's first time on the show. On episode 4 of season 1, he described negotiating a complicated prisoner exchange with Iran. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hey there I Spy listeners. Here at Foreign Policy, we're about to release season 2 of our podcast, The Negotiators. On each episode, one former diplomat or troubleshooter tells the story of one dramatic negotiation. If the tagline sounds familiar, that's by design. We think of The Negotiators as the sister show of I Spy. We're releasing the first episode of the season here in this feed. It's part one of a dramatic story about Danny Fenster, an American journalist sentenced in 2021 to 11 years in prison in Myanmar. Mickey Bergman, a negotiator with the Richardson Center for Global Engagement, describes the grueling process of gaining Fenster's release. Like the episodes of I Spy, this one is non-narrated. You'll hear our host, Jenn Williams, introduce the story, followed by nothing but Bergman. To hear part two of the story, find The Negotiators in your favorite podcast app. The show is a collaboration between Doha Debates and Foreign Policy. We're also working on more episodes of I Spy, so keep watching this space. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week, a bonus episode: A town-hall-style discussion with Malala Yousafzai on the future of women's and girls' education in Afghanistan and other conflict areas. In the six months since the Taliban seized control of Afghanistan, many schools and universities have closed their doors to young women, and promises to reopen have gone unfulfilled. Education and equality advocate Malala Yousafzai joined students and Afghan refugees for a global town hall conversation at Qatar's National Library, moderated by Doha Debates correspondent Nelufar Hedayat, on March 28, 2022. The audio from this discussion and audience Q&A examines the refugee experience, men's role in the fight for equality and the future of education.
