As military tensions run high once again across the Taiwan Strait, we talk to two experts about China's longer-term reunification strategy – and what that means for Taiwan. Featuring Wen-Ti Sung, sessional lecturer in Taiwan Studies at the Australian National University and Olivia Cheung, research fellow at the SOAS China Institute at SOAS University of London. Plus, we're joined by Vinita Srivastava, host of the Don't Call Me Resilient podcast from The Conversation in Canada.

"I thought it would be a miracle if I could get back to where I was as an artist." - Jahmal PadmoreThis episode was really hard to cut because Jahmal is a really good storyteller, and he's been grinding for a minute! We talked about almost all of it — from his early days in church, and playing in The Carps and Thunderheist, to blowing an audition to tour with an artist you've definitely heard of. Jahmal speaks about regenerating these experiences and getting out of his own way in order to move forward.Jahmal's music: Miracles on Soundcloud
