  • A Voice For Human Rights

    Jay Nordlinger is a soft-spoken champion for those who would see an end to regimes who rule their citizens through heavy-handed oppression.

  • Consistent production problem in otherwise outstanding podcast

    I like, but PLEASE stop overlaying the closing music over the end of the guest's remarks. Jay continues to thank his producer, but this is an AWFUL production issue.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Freedom on Her Face
Q: How do you view the gap between economic liberalization and political liberalization in China?
She believes economic growth has encouraged some liberal values and awareness, but the party has become adept at repressing dissent, complicating the link between economics and politics.
Freedom on Her Face
Q: What sparked your shift from a hopeful liberal atmosphere in childhood to a life dedicated to human rights advocacy?
A combination of personal experiences with indoctrination, witnessing censorship, and a pivotal discovery of a memoir about Mao that challenged the official narrative.
Freedom on Her Face
Q: Did you choose this work or did it choose you?
She describes the calling as intrinsic, rooted in early experiences of indoctrination and a strong desire to speak truthfully about China.
Malinowski in the World
Q: Overlapped with Elliott Abrams during your time in Congress or State Department?
I did not overlap with Elliott Abrams; he was there earlier, and I knew him but did not work directly in tandem with him.
Writer of Lives
Q: Who makes the cut for obituaries in The New York Times?
We always try to balance between headline names and ensuring we're recognizing the contributions of lesser-known individuals.
