Revisit some of Felix and Mihir’s recommendations. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Hello, everyone, this is Felix.
After Hours is still on break, but we wanted to bring you a few past episodes that we hope you will enjoy.
Let us know what you think, and as always, thank you for listening.
Okay, recommendations, Felix, what do you got?
So I slip into your role for one episode, and I have two recommendations.
Oh, and then I get to chastise you for it.
How could you?
What is actually an old recommendation that I just wanted to reemphasize.
It's a podcast called the World, which is maybe a half dozen stories about what is happening in the world today.
But the reason why I wanted to talk about it is it strikes me, for completely obvious reasons, that our attention swings so dramatically from one topic to another.
In part because we have these big catastrophes that really deserve our.
Our attention.
So we go from talking about Ukraine almost nonstop to now, yes, some things are happening in the Ukraine, but it's not really the center of attention anymore.
Almost no one talks about just the incredibly terrible things that happen in Sudan.
Khartoum, I think, is completely leveled at this point in time.
We have all of these dramatic developments in Myanmar.
If you wanted an interesting roundup of stories around the world, and in particular, stories I think that deserve more attention.
But we don't naturally pay attention to these stories.
The World is a really fabulous source, in particular because it's all reported by local journalists.
So it's always a truly local angle, which is absolutely fantastic.
