PUBLIC BONUS: Talking About Gaza, with Eiynah Mohammed-Smith
Daniel is joined by friend-of-the-pod and regular guest/collaborator Eiynah Mohammed-Smith (Polite Conversations, Woking Up, @nicemangos (2) Eiynah (@nicemangos.bsky.social) — Bluesky ) to talk about Israel's genocide in Gaza, and in particular about some questions that have come up around IDSG's public response to it. Jack was sadly unable to attend the recording but was fully there in spirit.
