About This Podcast
An early-career academic, journalist, and (somewhat) normal human semi-frequently talk on this podcast. They tend to discuss Russia's invasion of Ukraine, disinformation, social media, geopolitics, elections, and other related topics, and sometimes interview activists, politicians, journalists, academics, and more, so you can learn and think a bit deeper about what's going on in the world.
With Melvyn Dimble-Day.
In association with #NAFO Stratcom & радіо паляниця
