Law v BLM

Hello to Our Beloved Listeners! Our podcast this week highlights an issue that has been plaguing the world for centuries now, racial discrimination. On 25th May 2020, the murder of George Floyd reignited the Black Lives Matter movement which resulted in global protests demanding racial equality for the black communities of the world, and in turn abolishing white supremacy. In this episode we attempt to understand more deeply about this movement in areas of employment, education and the political sphere with our guest speaker Archie.

Law v Beirut

Hello Everyone! 11 days ago, Beirut underwent 2 horrific explosions that have left a fraction of its population dead, injured and homeless. People are greatly deprived of not only their food and shelter, but also, medical and monetary resources in an already fragile Lebanon under the Covid-19 pandemic. These explosions have in turn unearthed years of discontent the Lebanese population have towards their government and its leaders. This week we dive deep into Lebanon's political history with the help of our special guest Sarah Hashem and discover the turmoil that has engulfed this region.
