These are...not optimistic times for most Americans. Across the world, the dangers of climate change and the terror of creeping authoritarianism present an increasing danger to all of us. After covering this degeneration for four years, Robert Evans went looking for hope. He found it in the unlikeliest of places: Northeast Syria, in a region known as Rojava that’s become host to a feminist, anti-authoritarian revolution.When you’ve heard about these folks in the mainstream media, they’re usually just described as the “Syrian Kurds”, and credited with beating ISIS. They did, in fact, beat ISIS. But their military successes were just part of the story. In The Women’s War, Robert will introduce listeners to dozens of men and women fighting a war for the future of the human soul.

Introducing: Sixteenth Minute (of Fame)
Hi The Women's War Fans! Take a listen to the trailer of our newest show Sixteenth Minute (of Fame)
About the show: Sixteenth Minute (of Fame) is a weekly show from Jamie Loftus that takes a closer look at the internet’s main characters – one part reported, one part interviews, and one part Jamie collapsing her permanently internet-damaged brain. Whether it’s an enduring meme or a dreaded Character of the Day distinction, it’s the kind of notoriety that often results in little money, unwarranted attention, and a confusing blurred line of consent. What do you do when you get more attention and judgement than any one person is built to handle? The Sixteenth Minute of Fame is the place where we figure that out, putting people in the context of the moment they've been frozen inside of.

Captivating and inspirational podcast. I listened to all episodes in less than 20 hrs, learned many new things. Time well spent. Thank you.
Great show but no transcript?
I tried going to the website they say you can find the transcript and I couldn’t find it. But the show brought me to tears
Really beautiful piece of journalism
I listen to other podcasts by Robert Evans and only recently found this. This is an inspiring, subtle, and intelligent glimpse into a community and culture that is not readily found in US media. I’m a news nerd - I read a lot of newspapers and listen to a lot of deep dive podcasts and haven’t heard anything like this. It’s just beautiful.
