In July...

Eskandar Sadeghi, a specialist on Iran and its international relations, will look at the US encirclement of Iran with us, what the strategies and endgames of the various actors look like, and also how this is playing out domestically in the Islamic Republic.

We have more on the ugly acronym “TESCREAL” and the ideologies associated with tech dominance, with James Hughes and Eli Sennesh.

British writer Lamorna Ash tells us about young people's search for meaning in an era of individualism and dwindling community spaces …and why some are finding it in Christianity.

We kick off another block in the Reading Club, asking what is the political role of the middle classes today? Historian Arno Mayer’s article, “The Lower Middle Class as Historical Problem” will be in discussion.

What’s the difference between shame and guilt? Which one is better? Do we need one or not the other? Taylor Hines from Damage is going to tell us why we’re wrong. We’re just not sure why yet and it’s making us anxious.

And we’ll be commemorating our 500th EPISODE!
