The Myanmar Rebels are Actually Winning
Today we’re speaking to geospatial analyst Nathan Ruser about how the rebels in Myanmar have turned the tide of the war and are now actually winning against all odds. The resistance has managed to take huge areas of land back from the junta, disarming their soldiers, and sending them back to the dwindling government controlled areas.

Klantrecensies
Great perspectives
The situation of women in this region is awful. And reminder: these women being gang raped are often victims of female genital mutilation. Rape is awful in every way but the FGM makes it even worse.
Highly uncritical
Touches upon underreported, emerging issues, but has the exact same problems as typical journalism - picks up the loudest actors that (coincidentally) always speak fluent English. Just gives them a soft platform with zero original research or challenges to guests. This is not always an issue, but without an actual local perspective (i.e. from non-English speakers) you just get the perspective of the top 0.1% earners in the conflict. Because of that, the perspective is heavily distorted and with zero disregard for how working people are dealing with these conflicts and wars.
Amazing podcast!!
Sometimes this podcast does require you to have a bit more background knowledge than the averige listener has (myself included!). But the topics discussed are so interesting and the guests always give unique perspectives.
