  • as a whole, ideologically incoherent - deeply transphobic, also very pro-Palestine

  • Interesting topics but...

    The host has a really cringy style of delivery -she continually turns the discussion of an interesting subject into a personal beef which lessens the impact of the info. She might be good at research and production but she should get someone else to host because she effectively makes the show an unpleasant listening experience on every level.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

David Abdulah
Q: Could you talk about the Peace Vigil and the Declaration from August of this year?
The Peace Vigil on November 9 aims to oppose US military intervention in the Caribbean, emphasizing the need for peace and soliciting public participation.
Celine-Marie Pascale
Q: Can you discuss the specific problems that Native American women face regarding sexual violence?
Native women often find themselves caught between sexual violence from a native man and a racist justice system, leading to heightened vulnerability and systemic injustice.
Celine-Marie Pascale
Q: What does it mean to hold, to kind of throw somebody into a racist justice system that has a long history of cruelty?
It makes it nearly impossible to hold white men accountable for their sexual violence against native women, reflecting broader trends of justice system failures for women of color.
Alex de Waal
Q: Could you contextualize what has happened in post-colonial nation states that has led to civil wars, genocide, and famine?
Sudan is an extreme example where a government lacks resources and the conditions for a stable order, leading to reliance on militias and ultimately civil war.
Alex de Waal
Q: How can the UN's Integrated Phase Classification System perhaps be reformed to trigger faster responses?
The system should consider the political intentions and policies of those causing starvation to better address famines.
