Chris is unwell, so he is resharing The Double Bind with Meredith Tax
Chris is unwell so there won’t be a new episode this week. Instead, Chris is re-sharing the first-ever episode in which he is joined by the author Meredith Tax, and they discuss her book “The Double Bind”, which looks at the problematic relationship between Anglo American left and the Muslim right. Later in the podcast, they also discuss the role of Kurdish women in the fight against ISIS.

Quick Update, no podcast this week due to Chris being unwell
Hi all, I hope you are well. I'm sorry to say there will not be a podcast this week due to my coming down with a nasty cold that has become Bronchitis. I'm on some meds and taking it easy. Good news, if all goes well we should have a new Espresso Martini out on 11th March and my Ukraine interview with Matthew Orr over that week. Until then wishing you all good health and a great weekend.
