I thought the presenters seemed very knowledgeable until I listened to a show on my own specialist subject area, Palestine and Israel, in which they were coming out with over-generalisations and outright errors all over the place. I’m not sure if that’s just because they’re weak on the Middle East or I didn’t have the knowledge to spot mistakes on other topics. Some good interviewees, so perhaps just stick to the episodes with outside quality.
Great all around
Keep going with the great work
In het spel van grootmachten is China in het westen vrij onderbelicht en vaak gaat het over wat ze doen in een oriëntalistisch licht, die autocratische Xi, dat soort dingen.
Deze podcast laat het licht schijnen op de werking van de Chinese politiek in het globale zuiden.
Vooral de aflevering over productie in eigen land in Indonesië was machtig interessant. Echt een aanrader!
Fresh, smart and most importantly balanced, with a very educated view of how we got here. Well done!
