We’re back after a week off last week; and this week is our 40th episode! Thanks to our followers for helping to make that happen.

On this week’s podcast, host Michael Brooks speaks with Rafia Zakaria a columnist for the Dawn newspaper and Al Jazeera America on the parallels between Nigeria and Pakistan, the conundrums of global media & activism, getting to the context and causes of issues- not just the symptoms- and where India and Pakistan relations are headed after the election of Narende Modi as Prime Minister.
