    Proximities | Kieran Andrieu - How Israel weaponises archaeology in the West Bank

    In this week's episode, we talk to British-Palestinian commentator and political economist Kieran Andrieu about the occupied West Bank – and archaeology. With the Israeli government moving ahead with a bill to bring archaeological sites in the West Bank under its control, we discuss how archaeology has been weaponised as a tool of occupation, how it is used to erase the Palestinian people and their history, and how even Israeli archaeologists are trying to resist.

    In this week's episode, we talk to acclaimed foreign correspondent and author Sally Hayden about her latest book "This is Also a Love Story".

    Proximities | Negar Mortazavi - What are we not hearing about Iran?

    In this week's episode, we talk to Negar Mortazavi in an effort to go deeper than the usual international headlines about Iran. What is life in the country like? Where do people really stand on internal politics and the U.S.-Israeli war on the country? What does western media sometimes get wrong? And how can you get more accurate information on Iran? Negar explains all of that and more.  Negar Mortazavi is a veteran Iranian-American journalist and analyst, host of "The Iran Podcast", and Senior Fellow at the Center for International Policy. She has spent the last 15 years following and dissecting Iranian politics and Iran-U.S. relations.
