When the Trump administration slashed the budget and suspended most of the staff of the United States Agency for International Development last month, their representatives said the agency was using taxpayer dollars to fund a radical, “woke” agenda around the world. Criticism coming from the Left since the founding of USAID in 1961 has characterized USAID as an arm of American imperialism. The reality, of course, is much more complicated. It's heartbreaking to hear stories of children suddenly unable to attend school and receive essential vaccinations. But beyond the shockwaves of a sudden halt in the flow of assistance, there's a lot about US foreign aid that's up for debate. Questions like what does it accomplish? Does it really help? How does it help? Should it continue? Or, should foreign aid be scaled down over time? Our host, Jamil Simon, has seen USAID projects succeed, and fall short – having worked for more than three decades as a USAID contractor, developing communication strategies to promote reform in more than 20 countries.Our guest, Gregory Warner is a Peabody Award - winning journalist who has reported on USAID on the ground in places including Sub-Saharan Africa, Ukraine and Afghanistan. He was the creator and host of NPR's international podcast Rough Translation. Before that, he was an international correspondent for NPR, based in East Africa. Warner has reported on USAID on the ground in Africa, as well as in Ukraine and Afghanistan. He writes the Substack blog Rough Transition.MORE FROM GREGORY WARNERSubscribe to get Rough Transition in your inbox.

Should the U.S. stop giving foreign aid? This is a question many have been asking long before Elon Musk and Donald Trump launched DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) and began dismantling USAID and its work around the globe. Critics of foreign aid, like Bill Easterly, author of The White Man's Burden, and Dambisa Moyo, author of Dead Aid, argue that foreign aid often does more harm than good. They contend that the U.S. and other nations should radically rethink their approach. But this winter, Donald Trump did something no one expected: he halted nearly all foreign aid and operations worldwide. Today, we're joined by long-time international correspondent and host of NPR's Rough Translation, Gregory Warner, for a deep dive into why USAID was founded in the first place, how it expanded into the massive program it is today, the consequences of freezing its operations, and an examination of the claims that USAID is part of a U.S. deep-state operation. For the listener who'd like to hear more from Warner, he publishes a Substack newsletter called Rough Transition.

This week, we're listening to one, two, three, four, five, six different podcasts all about numbers.In the 80s, your favourite celebrities were just one dial away. And about $3 per minute, of course. But what's a couple extra bucks on the phone bill, if it means chatting with your favourite superstars, psychics, or potential spouses? Twenty Thousand Hertz tells us about the booming, controversial business of 1-900 numbers. Plus, long-haul truckers spend hours alone on the road. But how do thousands of miles of isolation change a person? And how is that experience unique for truck-drivers who are women?On NPR's Rough Translation, we hear the stories of how years on the road changed two truckers' perspective on life.That and more, this week on Podcast Playlist.Featuring: Twenty Thousand Hertz, Rough Translation, Planet Money, Snap Judgement, The Moth Radio Hour, OlogiesFor links and more info head to cbc.ca/podcastplaylist.
Shows like The Golden Girls and Grace & Frankie are beloved by so many, but also treated as a fantasy. What if platonic life partnerships didn't have to be merely a dream? What if you didn't have to wait until retirement age to consider centering your life around friendship?Today's guest, Rhaina Cohen, author of The Other Significant Others: Reimagining Life with Friendship at the Center, profiles platonic partners in her book who are at different ages and stages of life. While there have always been people throughout history making the choice to commit their lives to a friend rather than a romantic partner, there are not common models, labels, or legal benefits for these kind of arrangements. MEET RHAINA COHEN:Rhaina Cohen is an award-winning producer and editor for NPR's documentary podcast Embedded. She was named a 2021/2022 National Endowment for the Humanities Public Scholar for her debut nonfiction book, The Other Significant Others: Reimagining Life with Friendship at the Center. Her writing, often focused on social connection, has appeared in The Atlantic, The New York Times, The Washington Post and elsewhere. She's spent most of her career working on podcasts that blend narratives and ideas, including Hidden Brain, Invisibilia and Rough Translation. Find Rhaina on Twitter and Instagram.We discussed:The lack of vocabulary or process for people who want to try a platonic partnership.The real enchantment and sense of possibility that happens when you're excited about a new friend, a feeling that's not so different from a romantic spark. Rhaina mentioned "limerence" as the term used for this initial sensation in romance that can apply to friendship too.The crucial element of proximity in close friendships.The popularity of the Llano Exit Strategy story and the dream people have about clustering near close friends eventually.The importance of not having just one story in our minds for what it looks like to be happy, fulfilled, and connected.Some of the benefits Rhaina gains because she and her husband live with another couple (platonically) and the couple's two kids. * All transcripts are available on the main Buzzsprout "Dear Nina" site.

Why does the concept of a love marriage remain taboo, especially within the South Asian community? The struggle for the right to choose one's partner, the right to love freely, and the right to carve our destinies persists. Today, we will peel back the layers of this intricate issue, exploring the cultural nuances, societal pressures, and personal anecdotes that shape our perceptions of love, marriage, and autonomy. My guest is Mansi Choksi, a writer and journalist based in Dubai. Her work has appeared in The New York Times, The New Yorker, and National Geographic—to name a few. She is also the author of "Newly Weds," which came out last year. It is an exploration of Love marriage in modern India. Most recently, she's been a guest host on the final season of NPR's Rough Translation. This most recent season is titled "Love Commandos," which explores the risky territory of love marriages in India, where about 95% of marriages are arranged.

In India, intercaste marriage is very rare and marrying for love is not widely accepted. Among those who defy tradition, a small number face threats of violence from their own families. Enter the Love Commandos, a group tasked with protecting these couples under threat. But how do they do it? And why are they controversial? Today on The Sunday Story, Ayesha sits down with Lauren Frayer, the reporter on Rough Translation's new series "Love Commandos". She spent five years tracking this mysterious group as NPR's former India correspondent, and reveals what she discovered when she started talking to the couples sheltered by the Commandos.
They seemed like superheroes. When a group called the Love Commandos leapt into the public eye in India, they pledged to do something that most government agencies and police departments couldn't do: protect and shelter young lovers on the run. Our friends over at NPR's Rough Translation in their final season takes us on a rare look inside that secret shelter with its strange mix of revolutionary ideas, petty grievances and old traditions that die hard. The stories from couples who lived there will make you ask yourself: How much are you willing to sacrifice in the name of love?Support the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Gregory tells a story about his first job out of college. And we revisit an episode from 2017. Also, what's your favorite Rough Translation episode? Let us know.
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. Ler a notícia completa 09 – Também lá no nosso site você pode acessar muitas dicas para a produção do seu podcast. Entre elas, um artigo que traduzimos essa semana, sobre a importância de uma boa descrição dos seus episódios – porque um podcast caprichado e bem produzido vai fazer o melhor uso possível de todas as suas vitrines, né? Então confere lá no post, que além de ser didático, ainda traz 5 dicas para escrever ótimas descrições de podcast.

As aulas vão ficar no ar até o dia 23. Os episódios vão falar desde as atribuições de um podcaster até as etapas para colocar um podcast no ar, além de formas de monetizar.

Ler a notícia completa 12 – Na última segunda-feira, dia 27, o podcast Succession publicou o primeiro episódio da sua quarta e última temporada.

O Flea, baixista lendário da banda Red Hot Chilli Peppers, acabou de lançar um novo podcast chamado This Little Light, que explora a música como uma força para a cura e transformação. Em cada episódio, o Flea bate um papo com convidados especiais, desde músicos até médicos, e eles exploram juntos como a música pode ajudar a nos conectar com nossas emoções, curar nossas feridas e encontrar significado em nossas vidas.

On Monday, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change issued its most comprehensive and alarming report to date about the “closing window of opportunity to secure a livable and sustainable future for all.” While this report and previous ones made it clear that the world needs to rapidly reduce and then eliminate using fossil fuels, a new fossil fuel emissions record was set in 2022. The Guardian noted that the report foregrounded three signposts: 1) the climate crisis is fundamentally a crisis of injustice; 2) any new fossil fuel developments are incompatible with hitting a net zero emissions goal; and, 3) there are key technology and finance needs. On March 13, Biden green lighted the Willow Project - massive new oil-drilling operation on federal lands in Alaska. The project is projected to produce around 600 million barrels of oil at a time when the UN's IPCC is warning us that all new fossil fuel extraction must be prevented if we have any hope of preventing catastrophic impacts of climate change. Lots of younger voters and people who are deeply concerned about climate change perceive Biden's actions as a “slap in the face.” Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds has signed a pair of bills that force transgender students to use bathrooms of their gender assigned at birth and that ban gender affirming medical care. The Iowa law was signed one day after Arkansas signed its own “bathroom bill,” and Idaho is waiting for its Governor to sign theirs. The AP reports that more than 25 Republican-led bills across 14 states are targeting transgender individuals, looking to make them targets in their culture-war electoral strategies. Biden issues his first veto against a Republican “anti-woke capitalism” investing resolution that would have banned retirement fund managers from considering “social issues” in their investment strategies. Things like fossil fuels, commitment to diversity, good record on inclusion. You get the gist. NPR cancels four podcasts in the latest round of cuts in media organizations. Facing a projected $30 million decline in revenue, popular podcasts such as Invisibilia, Rough Translation, Louder than a Riot, and Everyone and Their Mom will get the ax. Massive three day strike by Los Angeles public school workers - bus drivers, custodians, special education assistants, and cafeteria workers - highlights the poor salaries and working conditions of those who help schools operate. The Washington Post reports that “Electric cars are creating a new economy and leaving some towns behind.” And important article, but corporations are let off the hook. Donald Trump raised over $1.5 million in the three days after he took to his Twitter knock off site and predicted he was going to be arrested this past Tuesday. But, we still haven't seen an indictment. Early this morning he took to that same platform to warn of “potential death and destruction” if he is charged in the criminal case about his hush-money payments to porn star, Stormy Daniels.

We continue the story of a covert smuggling operation to bring abortion pills into Ukraine, shortly after the Russian invasion. In this episode, reporters Katz Laszlo and Gregory Warner go to Ukraine, landing on a fall night during a citywide blackout, to pick up the trail of the pills and find out about the doctors and patients who needed them. But as they follow the pills around the country, what they learn changes their understanding of how we talk about these pills, and how we talk about choice, in a war. This episode is the second of two done in collaboration with NPR's Rough Translation. You can find the first episode here (https://zpr.io/CnmNVFQ6X5gc).

In the weeks following the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, a young doctor in Germany sees that abortion pills are urgently needed in Ukraine. And she wants to help. But getting the drugs into the country means going through Poland, which has some of the strictest abortion laws in Europe. So, she gets creative. What unfolds is a high-stakes, covert-operation run by a group of strangers. With everyone deciding: who to trust? In collaboration with NPR's Rough Translation, we find out what happened.

When we have feet in two worlds, how do we choose to live in one place, and not the other? Today we're handing over the mic to our friends at NPR's Rough Translation, hosted by Gregory Warner. In this episode, ‘Home is where the hustle is', Nigerian author Chibundu Onuzo is thinking about moving from the UK to Lagos, and she's getting advice from her big brother, filmmaker Chinaza Onuzo, about having enough “hustle” to succeed back home in Nigeria.
We're kicking off our fall 2022 season with a special conversation between Emily Feng of NPR and Joanna Chiu, NüVoices chair and co-founder. In this episode, Emily walks us through her hard-hitting reporting from the frontlines in Ukraine to a viral controversy surrounding her radio report on 螺螄粉 luósīfěn, snail noodles. Emily also discusses the beginning of her journalism career in China—from freelancing, landing a job at the Financial Times, and eventually becoming NPR's Beijing correspondent in 2019, where she is still based today. We also get a behind-the-scenes look at how Emily reported her Rough Translation episode on 丧文化, the sang subculture, which took the Chinese internet by storm last year. (Check out your podcast feed where we crossposted this episode on August 24th, 2022. A special thank you NPR and Rough Translation!)
In France, you either leave your desk during lunch, or you're breaking the law. Which makes Kaitlin Plachy, an American expat in Strasbourg who secretly eats at her desk most days, an outlaw. So why do the French have this law? Our friends at the podcast Rough Translation found that one popular theory — that the law is meant to preserve French culture — is not as correct as many people believe. So what is the explanation? And can Rough Translation convince Kaitlin to take a break?Rough Translation is a podcast that tells stories from far off places that hit close to home, and you can find all their episodes here. Rough Translation is hosted by Gregory Warner. The team includes Adelina Lancianese, Pablo Arguelles, Katz Laszlo, Luis Trelles, Justine Yan, Tessa Paoli, Emily Bogle, Liana Simstrom, Bruce Auster, Josh Newell, Greta Pittenger, and Anya Grundmann, with help from Eleanor Beardsley, Robert Krulwich, and Sana Krasikov. The French news tape in the episode is from Radio France and Radio Monte Carlo. Music by John Ellis and FirstCom Music and Audio Network. The Sporkful production team includes Dan Pashman, Emma Morgenstern, Andres O'Hara, Tracey Samuelson, and Jared O'Connell.Transcript available at www.sporkful.com.
We're proud to present our last summer cross post with NPR's Rough Translation! In this episode, host Gregory Warner talks to reporter Emily Feng about the rise of anti-work culture in China. While you may have heard about the term 躺平 or "lying flat", Emily delves into 丧文化, or the sang subculture, which embodies cynicism and defeatism in response to China's particular flavor of late-stage capitalism. Later in the episode, Emily discusses how the Chinese government is trying to stamp out the anti-work vibes by using an internet star to shift the narrative. This episode is part of Rough Translation's special @Work series. ***We're proud to announce our new podcast producers who've joined our team!

As the Russian military advances in eastern Ukraine, readers of a local news site in New York's Hudson Valley are captivated by the accounts of one Ukrainian man. He sends dispatches about his daily life in a village outside of Kramatorsk: spinning nunchucks, feeding his cat, and tending his growing garden. Local readers are perplexed, then drawn in by surprisingly intimate accounts of his world.

Afterward, Sarah and Jessi talk through what working less might mean in the US. Follow Gregory Warner on LinkedIn and Rough Translation wherever you listen!

In the final episode before our summer break, we dive into a cheese-based conflict between Greece and Denmark and a homophobic Hungarian law that is finally being challenged by the EU in court. Plus, we ring up Una Hajdari, roaming reporter in the Western Balkans, to try to untangle why North Macedonia has had such a rough ride on its path to EU membership. And in a special pre-holiday edition of Isolation Inspiration, we've got a bumper crop of European summer reads and a chat with Gregory Warner from NPR's Rough Translation about work culture around the world.

For more than a century in France, the lunch hour has remained sacred. Workers all over the country spilled into sidewalk cafes and office canteens to settle in for a break that can last up to ninety minutes. Strangers shared hors d'oeuvres, colleagues caught up and they tried to talk about anything except work. Then, in 2021, France suspended the law that forbids eating lunch at work. NPR's Rough Translation talks to an American teacher relieved to see it go and a French historian determined to bring it back.
When Remco Yizhak Cooremans moved home to the Netherlands after many years abroad, the authorities told him something shocking: his son wasn't legally his son. This week, we hear about Dutch plans to bring the law up to date with the realities of 21st-century parenting. We're also talking about Roman trash and minimum wages you can actually live on. Remco is the chairman of Meer dan Gewenst. If you're interested in the multi-parenting law, you can catch him speaking at De Balie in Amsterdam on June 16, and it's being streamed online too. Details here. This week's Isolation Inspiration: Navalny, and Rough Translation's episode on France's forbidden desk lunches. We're taking a break next week so that Katy can go stand in a muddy field. While we're away, check out this beautiful episode from Belarusian poet Hanna Komar, reflecting on the meaning of freedom.

Dean and Tom are back to talk about the use and importance of symbols across cultures, otherwise known as "going the full Robert Langdon" (you know, the main protagonist in Dan Brown's novels). Being the super symbologists they are, Dean and Tom decipher what iconic symbols have to tell us about the Russian invasion of Ukraine, while also decoding symbols that have arisen from other conflicts, such as in Hong Kong, the United States, and more. We hope you'll crash some cymbals to commemorate this discussion of symbols, symbolizing a celebration of all our new 2022 episodes coming up! (For more on protest symbols in Russia, here is the April 15, 2022 episode of the Rough Translation podcast from NPR.) Have a cultural question or episode idea for Dean and Tom?

On the first day of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Naira Davlashyan called her parents back home in Russia. Naira lives in France, and she was looking for words of comfort, but she was devastated by her family's reaction. In this episode of NPR's Rough Translation, Naira finds the words to break through the wall of Russian propaganda—with help from an anti-war message disguised as a chain letter.

We've got a hit podcast from the makers of Serial, world news through the eyes of the people living it, a sci-fi pop-punk mystery, and more. In 2014, a mysterious letter began circulating in Birmingham, England. The letter appeared to be written by an Islamic extremist, sending instructions to a co-conspirator on how to secretly infiltrate local schools. When it became public, it set off a moral panic across the U.K. People lost their jobs, and some were banned from ever working in education again. But no one ever answered one basic question: Who wrote the letter? The creators of Serial are back with a new podcast that sets out to answer that very question. We're kicking off this week's show with a taste of The Trojan Horse Affair. (There's a good chance you'll get hooked and binge the whole thing.) Then, what voices do we leave out when we tell world news stories? CBC's Nothing Is Foreign wants us to hear the news from the locals who are living it. Host Tamara Khandaker joins Leah to tell us why she's wanted to make this show for a long time, and what context we're often missing when we only hear from foreign correspondents. And we'll hear some of their coverage of Russia's attacks on Ukraine. All that and more on this week's show! Featuring: The Trojan Horse Affair, Nothing Is Foreign, Who Killed Avril Lavigne, Rough Translation, Punch Up The Jam

I am joining two movements this week: #theshowmustbepaused and #elevatemelanatedvoices. As such, I'm “muting” my normal show this week to advocate for Black voices and voices of color, and to draw attention to violence against the Black community. In place of my normal weekly episode, I'm sharing a short list of podcasts and resources to help fight racism.
