Alex talks to TIME Magazine's correspondent and QR regular Yasmeen Serhan, about Biden pardoning his son, Trump's latest picks, their impact on geopolitics - especially Gaza, and what went wrong with the election. A gorgeous free-roaming chat. ***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** “It's our election, but it's everyone's spectacle. I get the privilege of voting in it, but we are all affected - just in different ways.” “Democrats would do well to have a bit of introspection, and say: ‘we clearly didn't reach these swathes of people that, a couple of elections ago, we thought were our demographic destiny to carry.' They didn't. Maybe they should start figuring out why.” “Fundamentally, you have to earn people's votes. You can't just explain to them how they don't really have a choice. That's just going to turn people away. The more likely outcome isn't that they concede the point. It's that they stay at home.”  Yasmeen Serhan's substack newsletter (mainly for her mum): Foreign Correspondence.

Geraldine Brooks won the 2006 Pulitzer Prize for her novel March, an ''honorable, elegant, and true'' (The Wall Street Journal) retelling of Louisa May Alcott's Little Women from the point of view of the titular family's absent patriarch. Her other internationally bestselling works of fiction and nonfiction include Nine Parts of Desire: The Hidden World of Islamic Women, Caleb's Crossing, Foreign Correspondence, The Secret Chord, and People of the Book. A former war correspondent for The Wall Street Journal who was stationed in the Middle East, Africa, and the Balkans, Brooks was awarded the 2010 Dayton Literary Peace Prize for Lifetime Achievement and in 2016 she was named an Officer of the Order of Australia. Based on the incredible true story of a champion thoroughbred horse named Lexington, her latest novel finds three disparate generations of people tied together through both the horse and United States' ongoing reckoning with racism. (recorded 6/14/2023)

"Mark Twain said, fiction must be plausible, truth needn't be, or words to that effect. And truth is, it's so much more unlikely. And so everything in this book that seems unlikely, those are the true things." – Geraldine Brooks. Geraldine Brooks is the Pulitzer Prize-winning author and journalist behind works such as March, Year of Wonders and Foreign Correspondence. Her latest release, Horse, is a sweeping narrative that weaves together three encounters with Lexington, the greatest racehorse in US history, to explore the legacy of racism and slavery in America. Over a warming wintry lunch at Montalto, with produce straight from the kitchen garden, Brooks joined Santilla Chingaipe for a discussion about Horse, what drew her to the story of Lexington, as well as her own illustrious career. Presented in partnership with Montalto.

#PodcastersForJustice Bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize winner, Geraldine Brooks, spoke to me about why "truth is stranger than fiction," letting story drive narrative, and the overheard conversation that led to her latest, "Horse." Geraldine Brooks is the author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel March and the international bestsellers The Secret Chord, Caleb's Crossing, People of the Book, and Year of Wonders (recently optioned by Olivia Colman). Her latest novel, Horse, is described as "... a sweeping story of spirit, obsession, and injustice across American history." TIME magazine said of the book, "Horse isn't just an animal story—it's a moving narrative about race and art." Geraldine has also written acclaimed nonfiction works including Nine Parts of Desire and Foreign Correspondence. She started out as a reporter in her hometown, Sydney, and went on to cover conflicts as a Wall Street Journal correspondent in Bosnia, Somalia, and the Middle East. Stay calm and write on ...

It’s hosted by Jake Spring, who’s a journalist for Reuters based in Brazil.

Here are links to some of the things we talked about: HowSound podcast by Rob Rosenthal WNYC’s Peabody award winning coverage of NJ Governor Chris Christie and the response to Superstorm Sandy My story on Antigua and Barbuda that I co-produced with NPR’s Planet Money Vox podcast Today, Explained An Arm and a Leg podcast In the Dark podcast Season 2 Chef Yotam Ottolenghi Milk Street cooking website Bill Buford’s book Among the Thugs NPR’s Throughline history podcast WNYC’s On the Media radio show and podcast ————————- Far From Home is a podcast where award-winning public radio journalist Scott Gurian visits parts of the world that most people never think about and tells stories they've never heard.

Diaa Hadid works as an international correspondent for NPR in Islamabad, Pakistan. Previously, she worked for the Associated Press from 2006-2015 and the New York Times from 2015-2017. Prior to working with NPR, she reported on the middle east for over a decade. She now lives in Islamabad with her husband and daughter. In 2019, Diaa and her team won the Murrow Award, a journalism award, for her piece on why and how Pakistan has the highest rate of abortion in the world. This conversation spans her upbringing in Australia born to a Lebanese father and Egyptian mother, the pursuit of career and life outside of her Muslim family, the transformation of identity, the logistics of journalism in Pakistan, peculiar details around the story on Pakistan and abortion as it pertains to women’s rights and culture, the details around another story on Israel's youngest prisoner, a 12-year-old Palestinian girl who got her first period while being interrogated, and other fascinating journalistic investigations that tell much bigger stories about women in the world. It is because of Diaa’s tenacious curiosity, that such important and fascinating stories are shared with the West. Because the range of topics are so impressive, I will list some of them below. Diaa has documented the collapse of Gadhafi's rule in Libya from the capital, Tripoli. From Beirut, she was the first to report on widespread malnutrition and starvation inside a besieged rebel district near Damascus. She unraveled the mysterious murder of a militant commander, discovering that he was killed for being gay. In Syria, she met the last great storyteller of Damascus, whose own trajectory of loss reflected that of his country. In Libya, she profiled a synagogue that once was the beating heart of Tripoli's Jewish community. In Lebanon, she chronicled how poverty was pushing Syrian refugee women into survival sex. In Baghdad, she met women who risked their lives to visit beauty salons in a quiet rebellion against extremism and war. In Cairo, she wrote of revolutionary upheaval sweeping Egypt. She covered the violence of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. We are so lucky to hear these stories directory from Diaa as well as learn about her history- the history that’s not shared in public bios. This conversation is an honor and a pleasure. Enjoy. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/mythogynist/message

As a journalist now living in Sweden during the Covid -19 pandemic, she has observed the similarities and differences as societies she knows well struggle to cope for a variety of different reasons.

Megha Rajagopalan is an award-winning international correspondent for BuzzFeed News, based in London. In this conversation recorded on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean in London and New York, Megha and NüVoices board member Chenni Xu discuss Megha's career trajectory from the U.S. to China, the Middle East, and beyond. This includes her award-winning reporting, her time on the board of the Foreign Correspondents' Club of China, and musings about the current and future direction of foreign correspondence and journalism in China. The pair also discuss whether the "golden age" of reporting in China is really over, their respective residencies in Beijing in the 2010s, and what has changed: from hutong food and beverage closures to more draconian measures taken by the government to censor civil society and the media.Recommendations:Megha: Say Nothing, by Patrick Radden Keefe, and Three Women, by Lisa Taddeo.Chenni: FX/Hulu's portentous new show on the second-wave feminists, Mrs. America, and Peter Hessler's River Town.Like the podcasts at SupChina?

Capturing the perfect moment is essential for visual journalists. For two stories by Hélène Franchineau (instagram: @helene_fr), the critical images were moments of reunion. First, she tells the odyssey of Chinese migrant workers going home for Chinese New Year, the only chance to see their children and family each year. And then the story of a Uyghur man jailed in Turkey, likely under pressure from China. Hélène is a freelancer visual journalist based in Turkey but takes us through France, China and Africa. Her penchant for running marathons in unusual, and possibly dangerous, places is also discussed.  Hélène talks about growing up in small town France where her China obsession began (8:20), her move to China and first journalism gigs (15:52), going to j-school in New York/Paris for a master's degree (18:51), getting a job at South China Morning Post in Hong Kong (24:28), moving to Beijing to work for the Associated Press (28:21), how she got from China to Turkey (32:15), her story on trafficking of adorable pangolins from Africa to China (37:52), her short doc about Chinese migrant workers returning home for the holidays (42:31) and a Uyghur man who is caught up in Turkey's efforts to please China (50:52). And, of course, the lightning round (56:58).   Here are links to some of the things we talked about: Foreign Correspondence on Youtube - http://bit.ly/foreignpodyoutube  NGO World Vision's website - http://bit.ly/34pCbaA  China culture website Shanghaiist - http://bit.ly/2qbFyTM Hélène's story on pangolin trafficking - http://bit.ly/2pCguoN (video) http://bit.ly/2NCLqNR (text) Story on Chinese migrants returning home - http://bit.ly/2pqCIu7 (video) http://bit.ly/34pP7x3 (text) Her story about Uyghur man's arrest in Turkey - http://bit.ly/2Nysik7  New Yorker's Evan Osnos on Twitter - http://bit.ly/2C2CqvY BBC's From Our Own Correspondent podcast - https://bbc.in/34h0zLs Photographer Lynsey Addario's website - http://bit.ly/2WCWkqW   Follow us on Twitter @foreignpod or on Facebook at facebook.com/foreignpod Music: LoveChances (makaihbeats.net) by Makaih Beats From: freemusicarchive.org CC BY NC

Edward Wong became a reporter for The New York Times in 1999. He covered the Iraq war from Baghdad from 2003 to 2007, and then moved to Beijing in 2008. He has written about a wide range of subjects in China for the Times, and became its Beijing bureau chief in 2014. For more on Ed’s background and samples of his reporting, find our Sinica backgrounder here. Ed is a regular guest on the Sinica Podcast, with many appearances going back to August 2011, when he joined the show to discuss his profile of documentary filmmaker Zhao Liang and self-censorship in the arts scene at that time. Since then, he has appeared on many Sinica episodes, including a discussion of the “trial of the century” (which resulted in the conviction of senior Communist Party leader Bo Xilai for bribery, abuse of power and embezzlement) and what it meant for media transparency, and an episode in which Ed drew on his years as a war correspondent in Iraq to comment on China’s view of the Middle East in the age of the Islamic State. In this week’s episode, Kaiser and Jeremy talk to Ed about the state of foreign correspondence in China: the differences in today’s reporting environment compared with a decade ago, and how media companies deal with censorship and hostility from the Chinese government. Recommendations: Jeremy: Little North Road: Africa in China, photography of Africans in Guangzhou, China, by Daniel Traub and others. Also check out the accompanying website, Xiaobeilu. Ed: Two documentaries by Zhao Liang. One is Crime and Punishment, which is distributed in the U.S. through dGenerate Films. The other is Petition. Both films are available on Amazon.
