Zack, Jenn, and Jen Kirby look at how authoritarianism has become internationalized, through the lens of two recent news stories: 1) Fox News host Tucker Carlson choosing to broadcast his show from Hungary this week; and 2) a Belarusian Olympian in Tokyo seeking asylum out of fear of punishment by the Lukashenko regime after she criticized her coach on social media. They discuss what happened in both of those cases, as well as what the events tell us about the ways authoritarian governments are expanding their international reach, by developing ties with like-minded influential figures in other countries and by threatening — and, in some cases, kidnapping or even assassinating — dissidents abroad. References: Zack on why Tucker Carlson's trip to Hungary matters. Why US conservatives admire Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. How Hungary's democracy died. The Belarusian Olympian who would not go home.

Robert Fico o ňom hovoril ako o priateľovi. Mal povesť pokladníka, a to nielen priamo Fica, ale vlastne Smeru. Miroslava Výboha včera obvinili, a to rovno v kauze Mýtnik. NAKA pritom mala zadržať niekoľko osôb, dokonca ďalšieho bývalého štátneho tajomníka, Výboha však zatiaľ nechytili. Oligarcha mal podľa výpovedí sprostredkovať úplatok pre dnes už expremiéra a šéfa Hlasu Petra Pellegriniho. Čo teda znamená obvinenie Výboha, či sa blížime k zatýkaniu smeráckych a exmeráckych politických špičiek a akú vlastne trestnú činnosť mali títo ľudia páchať? Tomáš Prokopčák sa pýta Petra Kováča. Zdroj zvukov: TV Markíza Odporúčanie: Bude sa to diať a v krajinách, kde sa normálne očkuje, čoraz častejšie. Jednoducho, koronavírusom sa nakazia aj zaočkovaní ľudia.

Welcome to Episode 15 of Series 2 where we dive into what it means to be a woman. We talk about why the patriarchal ideas of femininity are both inaccurate and exclusionary, how gender non-conformity is both normal and ancient across global communities and discuss the fundamental misogyny of Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminism/Feminists (TERFs). We break down the danger posed to the transgender community by "biology" based anti-trans rhetoric and speak about why thinking of gender on scales instead of a spectrum is more accurate for some. We close out the episode with our core principles: If you identify as a woman, you are one; we will endeavour in every way to create as inclusive a space as possible; we will get things wrong sometimes and though you don't owe us an education, we hugely appreciate when you share your lived experience with us so we can learn from you. - Find PBS' map of Gender Diverse Cultures here.- Suzannah Weiss' February 2018 article for Teen Vogue entitled "9 Things People Get Wrong About Being Non-Binary" has been a valuable educational resource for us, we hope you'll read and share it.- Sam Killerman's piece entitled "Why Think of Gender on Scales Instead of a Spectrum?" has helped us conceptualise gender differently and, we hope, more accurately.- We used Katelyn Burn's September 2019 article for Vox entitled "TERFs: The Rise of Anti-Trans “Radical” Feminists, Explained" during our discussion about Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists/Feminism, the story of Aimee Stephens' and Ann Hopkins' ground-breaking Supreme Court cases.- Please check out our "Feminism 101" suggested reading list here if you're at a loose end for a great read from an Feminist author.- Find out more about the amazing artists, Nubefy, behind the graphics we use (though not on this episode) here

K-pop is hugely popular worldwide, and boy band BTS's “Dynamite” was virtually inescapable in 2020. And yet, the genre is hard to find on American radio.

Frequent Worldly guest cohost Jen Kirby talks Turkey with NBA player and activist Enes Kanter. Kanter was born in Switzerland to Turkish parents and raised in Turkey, but his criticism of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's ongoing human rights crackdown has made Kanter persona non grata in that country. They discuss how President Joe Biden has handled Turkey so far; the troubling kidnapping of a Turkish-Kyrgyz schoolteacher, part of Erdogan's campaign of renditions against perceived political enemies; the personal consequences of Kanter's activism; and why he's excited to become an American citizen soon.
