  • Featuring bullies in your “The Year That Made Me” segment is a terrible look, ABC.

  • Interesting and well considered

    For a while I thought of Sunday Extra as the little cousin to Saturday Extra, but through the choice of excellent and often left-field guests it has become my go to weekend choice. Great work Julian and team.

Q: Do you recall where the refugees were from and how that context shaped your encounter with the essay?

Why Václav Havel's 1978 essay is "eerily relevant today"

The guest explains that 1978 was a time of oppression behind the Iron Curtain, with dissident movements growing in Poland and Hungary and a climate of state surveillance; the essay emerged as a contraband piece that challenged public discourse and gradually influenced Western and Eastern audiences alike.
