  • Insightful analysis

    Great podcast, particularly the episode on Carlos Cardoso and Mozambique. There’s so much more to be analysed about the corruption in Mozambique, such as the terrifying kidnappings of residents of Asian descent which have been happening for many years. A follow up series of episodes would be fantastic!
